PELANGI

Pelangi

Pelangi, pelangi
Alangkah indahmu
Merah, kuning, hijau
Di langit yang biru
Pelukismu agung
Siapa gerangan
Pelangi, pelangi
Ciptaan Tuhan.
Rainbow, rainbow,
How beautiful you are.
Red, yellow, green,
On the blue sky.
Your painter is great,
Who is…
Rainbow, rainbow,
Creation of God.
