Volare II Lyrics in English by Izi
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Volare II by Izi from Italian to English.
Yeah
Yeah
In città a Cogoleto, yeah
In the city in Cogoleto, yeah
Ora ci fanno a Cogoleto, yeah
Now they do it to us in Cogoleto, yeah
Ma qua ci fanno a Cogoleto (scappa)
But here they do it to us in Cogoleto (run away)
Tutti i giorni al campetto (senza giacca)
Every day at the field (without a jacket)
Ricordati che il tempo non esiste (ah)
Remember that time doesn't exist (ah)
È soltanto una cosa triste
It's just a sad thing
Sfoglio una, due, tre riviste (sfoglio una, due, tre)
I flip through one, two, three magazines (I flip through one, two, three)
So che qualcuno mi assiste (assiste)
I know someone assists me (assists)
Ho mosso passi nella notte
I took steps in the night
Alti e bassi mi ispirano morte
Highs and lows inspire death in me
Vorrei farcela, ma so che ho tanta mania del controllo
I'd like to make it, but I know I have a lot of control mania
Poi ti svengo affianco
Then I faint next to you
Io non vengo affatto, sono un giullare
I don't come at all, I'm a jester
Quindi vengo a corte, non a corteggiare
So I come to court, not to court (as in, to woo)
C'hai le gambe corte perché sei un infame
You have short legs because you're a scumbag
Queste bugie muoiono, però hanno fame
These lies die, but they're hungry
Quindi tieni la lingua a bada, yeah
So keep your tongue in check, yeah
Non lasciare che dica ciò
Don't let it say that
Non parlare, non mi cono-
Don't talk, don't know me-
Non fai arte, sei qui pro quo, yeah
You don't make art, you're quid pro quo, yeah
'Sti ricordi li riconosci
You recognize these memories
Vivi o morte in letargo, oh, sì
Alive or dead in hibernation, oh, yes
Voglio solo urlare, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh eh
I just want to scream, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh eh
Voglio solo urlare, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh eh
I just want to scream, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh eh
(Voglio solo urlare) Voglio solo urlare
(I just want to scream) I just want to scream
Eh eh, eh eh (voglio solo urlare)
Eh eh, eh eh (I just want to scream)
(Voglio solo urlare) Voglio solo urlare
(I just want to scream) I just want to scream
Eh eh, eh eh (voglio solo urlare, yeah)
Eh eh, eh eh (I just want to scream, yeah)
Cammino sopra i tetti, spazzacamino
I walk on the roofs, chimney sweep
Sento il tuo calore solo quando scrivo
I feel your warmth only when I write
Ti prego, Signore, stammi qui vicino
Please, Lord, stay close to me
Prendo i nodi del mio pettine e li divido
I take the knots from my comb and divide them
Il mio numero è il sette, quello di Dio
My number is seven, God's number
Quando sorrido ho le fossette, sì, ma sarà il vino
When I smile I have dimples, yes, but it must be the wine
Perché io sono depresso e depenno
Because I'm depressed and I cross out
Spacco questo cartongesso e lo fendo
I break this drywall and I cleave it
Sono solo pazzo dentro e mi piace
I'm just crazy inside and I like it
Volo come 'sto piccione spaventato, ma c'è senso di pace, yeah
I fly like this scared pigeon, but there's a sense of peace, yeah
Sono un pezzo di pane
I'm a good person
Covo, dopo vomito il gomitolo, infame mai
I brood, then I vomit the ball of yarn, never a scumbag
Non guardare, non lasciarmi, lascia andare
Don't look, don't leave me, let go
Tu credevi fossi morto, ma non (posso)
You thought I was dead, but I can't
Io credevo fosse acqua, ma è rosso
I thought it was water, but it's red
Voglio solo urlare (yeah, non lasciare che dica ciò)
I just want to scream (yeah, don't let it say that)
Eh eh (non parlare, non mi cono )
Eh eh (don't talk, don't know me )
Eh eh (non fai arte, sei qui pro quo)
Eh eh (you don't make art, you're quid pro quo)
Voglio solo urlare (yeah, 'sti ricordi li riconosci)
I just want to scream (yeah, you recognize these memories)
Eh eh (vivi o morte in letargo, oh, sì)
Eh eh (alive or dead in hibernation, oh, yes)
(Voglio solo urlare) Voglio solo urlare
(I just want to scream) I just want to scream
Eh eh, eh eh (voglio solo urlare)
Eh eh, eh eh (I just want to scream)
(Voglio solo urlare) Voglio solo urlare
(I just want to scream) I just want to scream
Eh eh, eh eh (voglio solo urlare, yeah)
Eh eh, eh eh (I just want to scream, yeah)
E io so volare, un giorno vieni con me
And I can fly, one day come with me
Io so come curare, yeah
I know how to heal, yeah
Un giorno vieni con me
One day come with me
Ue ue, ue ue, ue, ue
Ue ue, ue ue, ue, ue
Buio
Darkness
Did you like this lyrics translation?
giullare — jester
Giullare translates to "jester" or "clown". It's a less common word in everyday Italian, making it stand out in the lyrics.
In the song, the artist Izi uses it to describe himself, saying "Io non vengo affatto, sono un giullare / Quindi vengo a corte, non a corteggiare." This suggests he sees himself as an entertainer or a figure who performs, rather than someone pursuing romantic interests. It adds a layer of self-awareness and perhaps a touch of melancholy to his persona.
