Great translation.
I studied Italian in high school.
Didn't understand these lyrics exactly, in fact way less than exactly, until now... Sixty years later!!!
Thank you... Grazie (I think)

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 oh, oh
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

Volare oh, oh
Cantare oh, oh
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassù
Ma tutti i sogni nell'alba svaniscon perché
Quando tramonta la luna li porta con sé
Ma io continuo a sognare negli occhi tuoi belli
Che sono blu come un cielo trapunto di stelle

Volare oh, oh
Cantare oh, oh
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
Felice di stare quaggiù
E continuo a volare felice più in alto del sole
Ed ancora più su
Mentre il mondo pian piano scompare negli occhi tuoi blu
La tua voce è una musica dolce che suona per me

Volare oh, oh
Cantare oh, oh
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
Felice di stare quaggiù
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu
Felice di stare quaggiù
Con te

Domenico made so much money on this international block-buster that he bought the island Lampedusa off the southern coast of Sicily. Closer to Tunisia than Sicily. Don't know what the other co-writers did with their money but Domenico sang as well as performed the song. Youtube has an Ed Sullivan extended performance by Domenico that is a joy to listen and watch.

Always loved the dean Martin version but always felt that not nearly enough of it was in Italian.

It's so nice to have duel lyrics. Just wish the volume was more equalized. If you turn it up on the low parts. Then the high parts are too much like someone sneaking up on you from behind. Lol

Thanks soo much for posting.

En el azul, pintado de azul... I’ve only thought of the lyrics in English, but they sound so much more beautiful when I translate to Spanish. Can’t imagine how poetic it sounds in Italian. Makes me want to try to learn again.

I could imagine this song playing on the Disney intro in a Luca sequel. Who agrees?

[fairyfellermasterstroke]

2:58 'per me' is missing at the end of the sentence

Thank you so much! But it would be way better for learning the song if English text would not distract me. Gracia Mille.

I'm not sure but this nice Italian song went to Eurovision Contest and it didn't won...
But, ever since, became much more popular than the winner song, specially in that 60s time

Ne mavi ne ela ne siyah göz,
En güzel göz, sana bakan göz.
