Nel blu dipinto di blu
Volare


Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito

Volare, oh oh...
Cantare, ohohoho...
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassù

E volavo, volavo felice
Più in alto del sole ed ancora più su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva, lontano laggiù
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me

Blue painted in the blue
Flying


I think such a dream will never come back
I painted my hands and my face blue
Then suddenly I was ravished by the wind
And I started flying in the infinite sky

Flying, oh oh...
Singing, ohohoho...
Blue painted in the blue
Happy to be up there

And I was flying, flying happily
Higher than the sun and even higher
While the world was slowly disappearing, far beneath
A soft music was playing just for me

Quoted from Diggiloo Thrush
(Eurovision lyrics and translations).

Nel blue dipinto di blue,
("Dans le bleu du ciel bleu", also known as "Volare"),
is one of the first Italian songs I remember hearing.
The original version
by Domenico Modugno is still my favorite.

Hi Marisi:
I thought I had seen the most beautiful blues in Hawaii, Jamaica and Bermuda. I stand corrected. I counted at least 9 shades in the Wind Surfer photograph.
Bellissimo

The continuity of blue, I wonder if any other colour would have made space look so vast.
