Volare

The lyrics describe a dream of flying through a vast blue sky, where the singer feels joyful and free. At first, the happiness belongs to a private dream: the world grows distant, and gentle music seems to play just for him. When dawn arrives, the dream fades, but his sense of wonder does not disappear. It becomes connected to the person he loves, and he finds happiness not only “up there” but also here, with that person.

Several images make this shift clear. Painting his hands and face blue suggests entering the dream and becoming part of its sky-like world. Being “carried by the wind” implies that the flight happens effortlessly, as if he has surrendered to imagination. The beloved’s blue eyes become another sky, so flying can continue through love rather than through sleep. The repeated idea of the world fading away suggests intense absorption: he is so focused on the dream or the beloved that ordinary surroundings seem to vanish.

The song can be heard as celebrating both fantasy and real affection. The dream itself is temporary, since it disappears at dawn, but its feeling survives in the singer’s relationship. “Flying” may represent emotional freedom or happiness, not a literal experience. The lyrics do not explain whether the beloved is the cause of the dream or its new form; that connection is left open.
