[English]
On the rainbow, a cake of fools
They crawl, stealing what others despise
I know what nobody wants
I'm going to start counting
A horde of cuckolds carves the horizon
He tries to convince the slow ones of a foolish plan
I know what nobody wants
I'm going to start counting
I'm going to start counting
I know what nobody wants
I'm going to start counting
That, that which nobody wants
I'm going to start counting
I'm going to start counting
I'm going to start counting
I'm going to start counting
I know very well what nobody wants
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
I know very well what nobody wants
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
I know very well what nobody wants
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
I know very well what nobody wants
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh
