Il Tuo Diamante

Ti avrei tenuto nel mio cuore
I would have held you in my heart
Ti avrei preso tra le mani
I would have taken you in my arms (or hands)
Illuminato io ti avrei
I would have lit you up
(con) il sole che era negli occhi miei
(with) the sun that was in my eyes
Però aspettare tu non sai
But you don't know how to wait
Volevi vivere e tu vivrai
You wanted to live, and you will live
Il tuo diamante splenderà
Your diamond will shine
Ma il cuore freddo resterà
But your heart will remain cold
Avresti avuto quel che ho
You would have had what I have (to offer)
Non ti avrei detto mai di no
I'd never have said 'No' to you
Potevi piangere con me
You could cry with me
Potevi ridere con me
You could laugh with me
Però aspettare tu non sai
But you don't know how to wait
Volevi tutto e tu l'avrai
You wanted it all, and you'll get it
Il tuo diamante splenderà
Your diamond will shine
Ma il cuore freddo resterà
But your heart will remain cold
E quando tu ti accorgerai
And when you realize
Ritorna qui se tu lo vuoi
Come back, if you want to
Che qualche cosa forse avrai
And maybe you will get something
E il mio pianto finirà
And my lament will end
E dopo stanca ritornerai
And after you return, worn out
E la mia strada riprenderà
And once I'm able to take up my path in life again
Il tuo diamante getterai
Your diamond you will throw away
E il sole caldo troverai
And you will rediscover the hot sun
Troverai - Yeah
You'll find it yeah
Troverai - Yeah
You'll find it yeah
Troverai ...
You'll find it
