Bobby Rydell Volare' Lyrics:
[Short but elaborate instrumental flourish [4] .]

[In English (mostly):]

Volare' [5] (woh-wo, wah),
Woh, oh, oh, oh (woh-wo, woh-wo).
Cantare' [6] (yay-yay, wo),
Woh, oh, oh, oh
(woh-wo, woh-wo, who-wo).

Let's a-fly way up to the clouds.
Away from the maddenin' crowds.
We can sing in the glow of,
A star that I know of,
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind.
Let us leave the confusion,
And all disillusion behind.
(Yay, yay, yay, all behind.)
Just like birds of a feather,
A rainbow together we'll find.

Volare' (woh-wo, wah),
Oh, oh, oh, oh (woh-wo, woh-wo).
Cantare' (yay-yay, wo),
Oh, oh, oh, oh (woh-wo, woh-wo, who-wo).
No wonder my happy heart sings (yay-yay).
Your love has given me wings. Yo!

(Volare) yeah, yeah, yeah (woh-oh).
La-la, la-la, la-la, la.
(Cantare) woh-oh.
(woh-wo-wo-wo.)
Woh-wo-wo-wo.

Let's a-fly way up to the clouds.
Away from the maddenin' crowds.
We can sing in the glow of,
A star that I know of,
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind.
Let us leave the confusion,
And all disillusion behind.

(Yay, yay, yay, all behind.)
Just like birds of a feather,
A rainbow together we'll find.

Volare', (woh-wo, woh-wo)
Woh, oh, oh, oh.
(The way you sing is a beautiful thing.)
Cantare', (yay-yay, wo.)
Woh, oh, oh, oh.
(Yay-yay, yay-yay, yay-yay).
No wonder my happy heart sings,
(La-la, la-la.)
[Fade.]
Your love has given me wings, little baby.
Your love has given me wings...

Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears.
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears.
But you and I have our love always there to remind us.
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.
