Nel blu dipinto di blu [Volare] [English translation]

I think that a dream like this

won't come back anymore,

I was painting my hands

and my face blue.

Then, suddenly, I was being

enraptured by the wind

and I was beginning to fly

in the endless sky.

To fly, oh, oh!

To sing, oh, oh, oh, oh!

In the blueness, painted in blue,

happy to be up there.

And I was flying, was flying

happily, higher than the sun

and still higher.

While the world slowly, slowly

was disappearing far away down there

a sweet music was playing

just for me.

To fly, oh, oh!

To sing, oh, oh, oh, oh!

In the blueness, painted in blue,

happy to be up there.

But all the dreams,

at dawn, disappear because,

when the moon sets,

it takes them away.

But I continue to dream

in your beautiful eyes

that are blue like a

star-studded sky.

To fly, oh, oh!

To sing, oh, oh, oh, oh!

In the blueness of your blue eyes

happy to be down here.

And I continue to fly happily,

higher than the sun

and still higher.

While the world

slowly, slowly disappears

in your blue eyes

your voice is a sweet music

playing for me.

To fly, oh, oh!

To sing, oh, oh, oh, oh!

In the blueness of your blue eyes

happy to be down here.

In the blueness of your blue eyes

happy to be down here

with you.
