Here, for your pleasure and better understanding, are a few Il Volo songs with English lyrics.

This is my all time favorite Il Volo number:


My newest Fav:


One of “the worlds” favorites:


The “greatest love” song for many of us:


I really wanted to give you Nessun Dorma, but couldn’t find an Il Volo English translation.  However, here it is by a man our Boys regret they never met.  Luciano Pavarotti died in 2007.  Our Guys would have been 11 or 12 then.  Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio wouldn’t have heard of each other back then either and never would have thought of the words Il and Volo connected to them. They couldn’t possibly have dreamed of the fame they someday would achieve:

He would have loved our Guys.

English lyrics, all but one, beautifully sung in Italian by three stupendously talented young men.  We are so lucky to know them.

To our darling sweet Italian boys,

Keepers of our hearts, our joys,

While you’re away you keep us guessing

About new projects you’re addressing.

A new CD would be so neat,

A DVD would be a treat.

You’ve been busy, that’s for sure.

Broadcasts, photo shoots demure,

Modeling, getting new wheels,

Making contacts, sealing deals,

Since staying fit’s high on your list,

Trips to the gym cannot be missed.

We search each day for what you’re doing,

Wondering what surprise you’re brewing.

We know it will be something great,

Anticipation makes it hard to wait.

We fell in love–you’re our addiction,

Lots of Il Volo time is our prediction.

A heavy dose both day and night

Will help to keep us feeling right.

We love to see your charming faces

Smiling back from distant places,

Tempting us with looks beguiling,

Teasing with Il Volo styling.

It hurts us, though, not knowing when

You’ll come back to us again.

And now your tour is on it’s way,

Back to work–no time to play,

This schedule puts you to the test,

Doing what you love the best.

But  we can only wait so long

To see your faces, hear your songs.

We will be brave, but nevertheless

Please keep us posted, we confess

We need to see you every day,

Though Internet may be the way.

Your future calls to spread the word,

Throughout the world your voices heard.

But we will wait for your returning,

To satisfy our ardent yearning.

So patiently for you we wait,

Eager to see that special date

When you’ll return to us once more,

Bringing  us the music we adore.

POETRY

A Little Il Volo Poetry by Sandi Eyman

Here are three poems I wrote about Il Volo.  I hope they are worthy of the Flight Crew.  They are Senryu (a type of haiku), so it will be a format not familiar to some of our readers.
~Sandi

Il Volo

Three Italian guys
   attentive, humorous, and kind
      once boys…now men

Gian, Igna, Pero
   exquisite voices
      smooth, lyric, strong

Velvet, silk, brocade
   voices…
      like ribbons entwined

                      ~~~

Many of us here on the site have been writing about the three best singers on the planet for several years now.  Everyone describes them with superlatives and all of the superlatives about Il Volo are authentic.

I love the way we come here everyday to read someone’s thoughts about Gianluca, Piero or Ignazio.  Their professional and personal lives, their  beautiful country and culture, their families and friends are all very interesting to us.  We never get tired of seeing them, reading about them or writing about them.  This brings us closer to them and each other making us feel more connected.

They give to us more than I think they will ever know.   They stand in front of us on stages world wide and share their gifts so openly and humbly.

They  need no fancy lighting, gyrating dancers or catchy gimmicks.  Just a microphone and each other.

They own the stage and their music.  It’s pure.  It’s captivating.  It’s powerful.  Their current Notte Magica Tour showcases this more than ever.

There is still so much to be said about these three.  I can’t wait to read what some of you will say after you have seen them in concert during the European leg of their tour.   They will become legendary.  There will be people talking about them and writing about them for years to come.  Has it all been said?  No way!

Notte Magica! Brussels, Belgium April 26, 2017

11 Comments

With just one day of rest, the guys flew to Brussels for their next concert at Forest National.  There were a few pictures showing Michele and Piero on the plane, along with Gianluca.  I think it was rumored that Ignazio may have driven.

Once again, their sweet voices serenaded the crowd to the now familiar tunes we all know and love, from Granada to Grande Amore!

Below are a few links to a few songs from the magic night in Belgium, on You Tube.  Thank you to owners that uploaded for all of us to see!

 

 

 

Here are some nice photos, credit to Vanessa!

Ok, guys, you have about a week to rest up before the real tour begins!  It’s going to be grueling, some nights will be 2 in a row with only a day of rest in between.  Let’s hope you eat your Wheaties, stay strong, healthy, and take care of your voices!  We know you will…. and hurry back to us soon!

Again, the meet and greet was small, but joyful with about 35+ pictures.
