歌词
The French are glad to die for love
法国人愿意为爱而死
They delight in fighting duels
他们乐于决斗
But I prefer a man who lives
而我喜欢活生生的男人
And gives expensive jewels
而且把昂贵的珠宝送上门来
A kiss on the hand
手背上的吻
May be quite continental
也许很浪漫
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
但钻石才是女孩儿最好的朋友
A kiss may be grand
亲吻或许很棒
But it won't pay the rental
但它并不能支付
On your humble flat
你简陋套房的租金
Or help you at the automat
或是在自动机前帮上什么忙
Men grow cold
男人会越来越冷淡
As girls grow old
女孩儿会越来越老
And we all lose our charms in the end
我们最终都会失去当初的迷人魅力
But square-cut or pear-shaped
但方钻和梨形钻
These rocks don't loose their shape
这些石头却永远不会变形
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
钻石才是女孩儿最好的朋友
有些时候
There may come a time
女孩儿可能需要个律师
When a lass needs a lawyer
但钻石才是女孩儿最好的朋友
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
有些时候
There may come a time
可能有个铁石心肠的老板
When a hard-boiled employer
热切地爱慕你
Thinks you're awful nice
但你要冷静，否则你就失去了机会
But get that ice or else no dice
当股价高的时候
He's your guy
他是你的人
When stocks are high
但当他们跌价时，你就要当心了
But beware when they start to descend
那时候这些虱子们
It's then that those louses
将回到原配的身边
Go back to their spouses
钻石才是女孩儿最好的朋友
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
我曾听说过
有些非常柏拉图式的恋爱
I've heard of affairs
但钻石才是女孩儿最好的朋友
That are strictly platonic
而我认为风流情事
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
必须要让自己保持在最稳固的立足点
And I think affairs
再下注
That you must keep liaisonic
如此小女人才能得到大钻石
Are better bets
光阴飞逝
If little pets get big baguettes
青春不再
Time rolls on
驼背后的你再也无法站直
And youth is gone
但尽管背已僵硬
And you can't straighten up when you bend
或是膝盖亦已僵硬
But stiff back
你还是可以笔直地矗立在Tiffany的门店
Or stiff knees
钻石！钻石！
You stand straight at Tiffany's
我可不是指那种廉价的人造钻石
Diamonds! Diamonds!
但钻石是女孩儿最好...最好的朋友！
I don't mean rhinestones!
But diamonds are a girl's best... Best friend!
