The Problem with Rainbows

Resta sempre insoluto il problema dell’arcobaleno
Pare que ce ne sia uno dopo la pioggia
E che dall’alto con l’aereo
Si veda tutto torna
Ma questo metterebbe in crisi tutto quelli
Che cercano la pentola d’oro
Alle fine dell’arcobaleno
C’e sempre un arcobaleno
Al di sopra di ogni questione sulla quantità
E qualità dei suoi colori
Dopo la pioggia
Ma non dopo ogni pioggia
Il mistero dell’arcobaleno
La storia dell’arcobaleno
Il problema dell’arcobaleno

The problem of the rainbow remains unsolved
It seems that there is one after the rain
And that from above with the plane you can see it all around
But that would undermine all those looking for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
There is always a rainbow
Above all questions of quantity
And quality of its colours
After the rain
But not after every rain
The mystery of the rainbow
The history of the rainbow
The rainbow problem
