Volare Lyrics in English Gipsy Kings

Home / Lyrics Translation / Gipsy Kings / Volare

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Volare by Gipsy Kings from Spanish to English.

Chorus 1

I think that a similar dream won't come back again

And I painted my hands and face blue

And suddenly the swift wind carried me

And it made me fly in the endless sky

I'll fly

I'll sing

In the blue painted blue

Happy to be up there

Bridge

And flying, flying happy

I find myself higher, higher than the sun

And while that the world slowly drifts away from me

Some sweet music has been played just for me

Chorus 2

I'll fly

I'll sing

In the blue painted blue

Happy to be up there

I think that a similar dream won't come back again

And I painted my hands and face blue

And suddenly the swift wind carried me

And it made me fly in the endless sky

I'll fly

I'll sing

In the blue painted blue

Happy to be up there

I'll fly

I'll sing

In the blue painted blue

Happy to be up there

I think that a similar dream won't come back again

And I painted my hands and face blue

And suddenly the swift wind carried me

And it made me fly in the endless sky

I'll fly

I'll sing

In the blue painted blue

Happy to be up there

Outro

In the blue painted blue

Happy to be up there

In the blue painted blue

Happy to be up there

In the blue painted blue

Happy to be up there

In the blue painted blue

SONG MEANING

“Volare” is a joyous flight of imagination where the Gipsy Kings invite us to paint our hands and face blue, catch a sudden gust of wind, and soar into an endless sky. The singer recalls a dream so beautiful it may never return, yet he relives it by singing and flying ever higher, feeling felice de stare lassù (happy to be up there). As the earth drifts away below, a sweet, private melody plays just for him. The mix of Spanish verses with the iconic Italian chorus “Nel blu dipinto di blu” celebrates border-free freedom, showing how music can lift us above everyday worries into pure, exhilarating wonder.

At its heart, the song is about liberation, joy, and the power of dreams. By blending flamenco-infused French rumba rhythms with multilingual lyrics, the Gipsy Kings remind us that believing in our dreams can make us feel lighter than the sun and closer to the infinite. Press play, imagine the sky painted blue, and let yourself volar right along with them!
