歌词
Diamonds are forever
钻石恒久远
They're all I need to please me
能取悦我的，唯有钻石
They can't stimulate or tease me
它们柔和忠诚
They won't leave in the night
它们不会冷落于孤夜
Have no fear that they might
它们永远
Desert me
不会弃我而去
钻石恒久远
"Diamonds are forever forever forever"
将钻石抛向空中
Throw ya diamonds in the sky
那句
If you feel the vibe
“钻石恒久远”的歌声是否会回响耳畔？
"Diamonds are forever forever forever"
ROC仍然存在
The ROC is still alive
每当我压这个韵脚
Everytime I rhyme
“永远 曾经”
"Forever and ever!"
永远 曾经？永远 曾经？曾经 曾经？
For ever ever? for ever ever? ever ever?
曾经 曾经？曾经 曾经？曾经 曾经？曾经 曾经？

Little was known of Sierra Leone
这个地方是怎样和我们拥有的钻石构成联系的？
And how it connect to the diamonds we own
当我谈到这首歌里的钻石
When I speak of Diamonds in this song
我不是在谈论那些绚丽夺目的钻石
I ain't talkin bout the ones that be glown

I'm talkin bout Rocafella, my home, my chain
这些和钻石不矛盾，它们是雅各吗？别开玩笑了

Over there, they die from what we buy from drugs
钻石，枷锁，手铐，诅咒
The diamonds, the chains, the bracelets, the charmses
我想我的信仰是无害的
I thought my Jesus Piece was so harmless
直到体会到现实的残酷
'til I seen a picture of a shorty armless
这就是冲突所在
And here's the conflict
唯金至上已深驻一个黑人的灵魂
It's in a black person's soul to rock that gold
穷尽一生却将自己推向不复之地
Spend ya whole life tryna get that ice
从对立的一面看这又是如此诱人
On a polar rugby it look so nice
为何此般罪孽却让我欲罢不能？
How could somethin' so wrong make me feel so right, right?
在捶胸懊悔之前
'fore I beat myself up like Ike
你在今晚仍有机会扔掉那些钻石，因为
You could still throw ya Rocafella diamond tonight, 'cause

将钻石抛向空中
Throw ya diamonds in the sky
那句
If you feel the vibe
“钻石恒久远”的歌声是否会回响耳畔？
"Diamonds are forever forever forever"

枷锁仍然存在，团伙狡猾的很
The chain remians, the gang is in tact
然而我就是那头替罪羊
The name is mine, I'll take blame for that
危机将近，猜猜谁能全身而退？
The pressure's on, but guess who ain't gon' crack?
你在妄言些什么呢！别逗了
Pardon me I had to laugh at that
在直布罗陀巨岩下你就萎了
How could you falter when you're the rock of gibralter

And even if I die, he's in my will somewhere
所以他能够净赚并将财产封存某处，哦耶
So he can just kick back and chill somewhere, oh yeah
他甚至不用写韵脚
He don't even have to write rhymes

Now the Louis Vuitton Don's timin' couldn't be better
人们更愿看到泰坦尼克号的下沉
People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin'
