Volare - Domenico Modugno - Nel blu dipinto di blu

"Nel blu dipinto di blu" (Italian pronunciation: [nel ˈblu ddiˈpinto di ˈblu]; literally "In the blue that is painted blue"), popularly known as "Volare" [voˈlaːre] (meaning "flying"), is a song recorded by Italian singer-songwriter Domenico Modugno. Written by Franco Migliacci and Domenico Modugno, it was released as a single on 1 February 1958.

Winning the eighth Sanremo Music Festival, the song was chosen as the Italian entry to the Eurovision Song Contest in 1958, where it won third place out of ten songs in total. The combined sales of all the versions of the song exceed 22 million copies worldwide, making it one of the most popular Eurovision songs of all time and the most successful Sanremo Music Festival song ever.

It spent five non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in August and September 1958 and was Billboard's number-one single for the year. Modugno's recording subsequently became the first Grammy winner for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in 1958.

The song was later translated in several languages and it was recorded by a wide range of performers, including Bobby Rydell, Dean Martin, Al Martino, Jerry Vale, David Bowie, Cliff Richard, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Dalida, Gipsy Kings, Chico & the Gypsies, Deana Martin and Barry White.

When a man loves a woman<br />
Can't keep his mind on nothing else<br />
He'll trade the world<br />
For the good thing he's found<br />
If she's bad he can't see it<br />
She can do no wrong<br />
Turn his back on his best friend<br />
If he put her down<br />
<br />
When a man loves a woman<br />
Spend his very last dime<br />
Trying to hold on to what he needs<br />
He'd give up all his comfort<br />
Sleep out in the rain<br />
If she said that's the way it ought to be<br />
<br />
Well, this man loves a woman<br />
I gave you everything I had<br />
Trying to hold on to your precious love<br />
Baby, please don't treat me bad<br />
<br />
When a man loves a woman<br />
Down deep in his soul<br />
She can bring him such misery<br />
If she plays him for a fool<br />
He's the last one to know<br />
Loving eyes can't ever see<br />
<br />
When a man loves a woman<br />
He can do no wrong<br />
He can never own some other girl<br />
Yes when a man loves a woman<br />
I know exactly how he feels<br />
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world<br />

Chubby Checker's 1960 cover version of the song gave birth to the Twist dance craze. His single became a hit, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 19, 1960, where it stayed for one week, and setting a record as the only song to reach number 1 in two different chart runs when it resurfaced and topped the chart again for two weeks starting on January 13, 1962.
