"Voglio vederti danzare" is a 1982 song by Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato.
While no singles were officially released from the album L'arca di Noè, "Voglio vederti danzare" served as its leading song, with Battiato promoting it in his television appearances and shooting a music video of it.[1]
The song's lyrics consists of a roundup of different dance forms of in various places and epochs, while the music is based on the combination of synthesisers and violins.[2] The song has been described as a song whose sounds float between the East and the West[3] and 'an apology of dance in an ethnic key'. Battiato's celebration of dance is meant in a spiritual sense, as a way to elevate oneself by connecting mind and body.[4] Because of the tonality rising after each refrain, Battiato's voice reaches an unusual very high range in this song.
