В радугах нету никакого секрета,
Хоть о них много поют.
В капельках дождика сияет луч света -
Просто иллюзия тут.
Так говорят нам, и многие верят,
Но я решаю умней:
Радуга станет сказочной дверью
Влюблённым, мечтателям, мне.

СтОит желание загадывать с лёту,
Если упала звезда?
"Точно, сбывается" - скажет вам кто-то,
Буркнет другой: "Ерунда!"
Так почему же мы смотрим с доверьем
На небеса при луне?
Радуга станет сказочной дверью
Влюблённым, мечтателям, мне.

Верить хотим в чудеса
И знаем - всё это возможно...

Каждый, наверное, без исключения,
Слышал в ночи голоса?
По зову их хочется искать приключений
И поднимать паруса.
Это могу подтвердить вам теперь я -
Голос тот слышал во сне.
Радуга станет сказочной дверью
Влюблённым, мечтателям, мне.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it,
and look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell,
we know that it's probably magic....

Have you been half asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
the lovers, the dreamers and me.
La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa

There is no secret in rainbows
Although they sing a lot about them.
A ray of light shines in the drops of rain -
It's just an illusion here.
So they tell us, and many believe
But I decide smarter:
The rainbow will become a fairy door
Lovers, dreamers, me

It is worth the desire to make plans from the summer,
If a star fell?
"Exactly, it comes true" - someone will tell you,
Burknet another: "Nonsense!"
So why do we look with confidence
To heaven with the moon?
The rainbow will become a fairy door
Lovers, dreamers, me

We want to believe in miracles
And we know - all this is possible ...

Everyone, probably, without exception,
Heard voices in the night?
At their call, I want to seek adventure
And set sail.
I can confirm this to you now -
He heard the voice in a dream.
The rainbow will become a fairy door
Lovers, dreamers, me
