Nero Arcobaleno Lyrics in English by Bugo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nero Arcobaleno by Bugo from Italian to English.
Dalla strada io posso vedere un arcobaleno
From the street I can see a rainbow
Viaggia sulla città
It travels over the city
Non ha colori è tutto nero
It has no colors it's all black
Una strana atmosfera incombe su me
A strange atmosphere hangs over me
Confonde i pedoni con le strisce bianche all'incrocio
It confuses pedestrians with the white stripes at the intersection
Su quell'albero
On that tree
Gli uccellini si masturbano
The little birds masturbate
E cantano una canzone
And they sing a song
Bella elegante
Beautiful elegant
La tua mano è
Your hand is
Nella tasca aspetto che
In your pocket I wait for
Il telefono suoni una cantilena
The phone to ring a monotonous tune
Tutta per me
All for me
Cosa non va bene
What's wrong
Mi lascio andare
I let myself go
È così
It's like this
Che l'anima mia
That my soul
Viene succhiata
Is sucked
Da un tombino
By a manhole
Torno a casa e
I go home and
Mi accorgo che
I realize that
Dalla finestra
From the window
Parte un arcobaleno
A rainbow starts
Senza colori
Without colors
Tutto nero
All black

arcobaleno — rainbow
Arcobaleno means "rainbow" in Italian. It's a beautiful and evocative word that immediately brings to mind vibrant colors and hope.
However, in Bugo's song, the rainbow is described as "nero" (black) and "senza colori" (without colors), creating a striking and unusual image. This paradoxical phrase, "nero arcobaleno," is central to the song's theme of finding beauty or meaning in unexpected, perhaps darker, places. It's an intriguing twist on a common concept.
