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

I think, such a dream

Will never return.

I painted hands and face in the blue

And then suddenly the wind kidnapped me

And I began to fly in an infinite sky.

To fly,

To sing

In the blue, painted in the blue,

I am happy to be above.

And I flew, flew happy

Higher the sun and even higher

While the world disappeared slowly

Far away down.

A sweet music played only for me.

But all my dreams disappeared at the daybreak because

When the moon sets, it brings them with itself.

But I continue dreaming about your beautiful eyes

Which are blue as the sky embroidered with stars...

To fly,

To sing

In the blue, painted in the blue,

I am happy to be above.

And I flew, flew happy

Higher the sun and even higher

While the world disappeared slowly

In your blue eyes.

Your voice is a sweet music

Which plays for me.

To fly,

To sing

In the blue of your blue eyes,

I am happy to be here down.
