Have you ever had a dream that felt so real and wonderful you never wanted it to end? That's the feeling at the heart of "Volaré." The singer describes a magical, once-in-a-lifetime dream where he paints his hands and face blue and is joyfully swept away by the wind. He flies higher than the sky and closer to the sun, watching the Earth grow small below him while an angel sings a sweet song.
The song uses the powerful image of flying (volar) to express a feeling of pure freedom and happiness. But this isn't just a dream about flying. When the dream ends, the singer looks into someone's eyes and realizes they are the same beautiful blue as his dream. The joy from his magical flight becomes connected to this person, making his world feel as happy and vast as a blue sky.
