i have the dean martin version with italian parts (i seem to prefer this version), and it goes a little like this:
Volare, oh oh
Cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds
Away from the maddening 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
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh oh
E cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapido
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
(i think that a dream will not ever return
i painted my hands and face a dark blue
[*] then through improvisation i came upon a rapid wind
and i began to fly in the infinite sky)
Volare, oh oh
E cantare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiu
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me
(and flying, happily flying,
I found myself taller, taller than the sun,
While the world slowly moved away from me,
A sweet music played just for me.)
Volare, oh oh
E cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassu
(In the blue, painted in blue,
happy to be slow)
