Diamonds From Sierra Leone
Andre Benjamin, Antwan Patton, David Sheats, Devon Harris, Don Black, John Barry, Kanye West
Diamonds are forever
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might
Desert me
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic
Vegas on acid, seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses
And I've realized that I've arrived
Cause it take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe
Does he write his own rhymes, well sort of, I think 'em
That mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought of
Damn, is he really that caught up?
I ask if you talked about classics, do my name get brought up?
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort
Or even a four-track recorder
So it's only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche
It's for yourself, that's important
If your stripper name "Porscha" and you get tips from many men
Then your fat friend, her nickname is "Minivan"
Excuse me, that's just the Henny, man
I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop, I can't because
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
I was sick about awards, couldn't nobody cure me
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense in him
30 minutes later sein' there's no convincin' him
What more could you ask for? The international asshole
Who complain about what he is owed?
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame
When he came in the game, he made his own lane
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
It's Kanye, but some of my plaques, they still say Kayne
Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown
Back in the Chi, them Folks ain't from Moe Town
Life movin' too fast I need to slow down
Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down
My father been said I need Jesus
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my caesar
The preacher said we need leaders
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic
You know who you call, you got a message, then leave it
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic
Yeah, the beat cold but the flow is anemic
After debris settles and the dust get swept off
Big K pick up where young Hov left off
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off
I dropped my new shit, it sound like the best of
A&R's lookin' like, "Pssh, we messed up"
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up
In the studio, with Really Doe, yeah, he next up
People askin' me if I'm gon' give my chain back
That'll be the same day I give the game back
You know the next question dog: "Yo, where Dame at?"
This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back
"What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all ok man?"
They pray for the death of our dynasty like "Amen"
R-r-r-r-right here stands a man
With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
Diamonds are forever
Diamantes são para sempre
They won't leave in the night
Eles não vão embora na noite
I've no fear that they might
Não tenho medo de que possam
Desert me
Me abandonar
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
Diamantes são para sempre (para sempre, para sempre)
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Jogue seus diamantes no céu se você sentir a vibe
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
Diamantes são para sempre (para sempre, para sempre, para sempre)
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
O Roc ainda está vivo toda vez que eu rimo
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Para sempre? Para sempre? Sempre, sempre? Sempre, sempre?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Sempre, sempre? Sempre, sempre? Sempre, sempre?
Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic
Feche seus olhos e imagine, sinta a mágica
Vegas on acid, seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses
Vegas em ácido, visto através dos óculos Yves St. Laurent
And I've realized that I've arrived
E eu percebi que cheguei
Cause it take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe
Porque leva mais do que uma revista para matar minha vibe
Does he write his own rhymes, well sort of, I think 'em
Ele escreve suas próprias rimas, bem, mais ou menos, eu acho
That mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought of
Isso significa que eu esqueci coisas melhores do que você já pensou
Damn, is he really that caught up?
Caramba, ele está realmente tão preso?
I ask if you talked about classics, do my name get brought up?
Eu pergunto se você falou sobre clássicos, meu nome é mencionado?
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort
Eu me lembro que não podia pagar por um Ford Escort
Or even a four-track recorder
Ou mesmo um gravador de quatro pistas
So it's only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche
Então é justo que eu deixe a capota cair em um Porsche conversível
It's for yourself, that's important
É para você mesmo, isso é importante
If your stripper name "Porscha" and you get tips from many men
Se seu nome de stripper é "Porscha" e você recebe gorjetas de muitos homens
Then your fat friend, her nickname is "Minivan"
Então sua amiga gorda, seu apelido é "Minivan"
Excuse me, that's just the Henny, man
Desculpe, isso é só o Henny, cara
I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop, I can't because
Eu fumo, eu bebo, eu deveria parar, mas não consigo porque
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
Diamantes são para sempre (para sempre, para sempre)
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Jogue seus diamantes no céu se você sentir a vibe
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
Diamantes são para sempre (para sempre, para sempre, para sempre)
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme
O Roc ainda está vivo toda vez que eu rimo
Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Para sempre? Para sempre? Sempre, sempre? Sempre, sempre?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Sempre, sempre? Sempre, sempre? Sempre, sempre?
I was sick about awards, couldn't nobody cure me
Eu estava doente por prêmios, ninguém podia me curar
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry
O único jogador que foi roubado mas manteve todas as suas joias
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense in him
Alicia Keys tentou falar algum sentido nele
30 minutes later sein' there's no convincin' him
30 minutos depois, vendo que não há como convencê-lo
What more could you ask for? The international asshole
O que mais você poderia pedir? O babaca internacional
Who complain about what he is owed?
Quem reclama sobre o que lhe é devido?
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old
E faz birra como se tivesse 3 anos de idade
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul
Você tem que amar, alguém ainda fala de sua alma
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame
E não mudaria pelo dinheiro, ou pelo jogo, ou pela fama
When he came in the game, he made his own lane
Quando ele entrou no jogo, ele fez seu próprio caminho
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
Agora tudo que eu preciso é que vocês pronunciem meu nome
It's Kanye, but some of my plaques, they still say Kayne
É Kanye, mas algumas das minhas placas ainda dizem Kayne

Life movin' too fast I need to slow down
A vida está se movendo rápido demais, preciso desacelerar
Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down
Garota não me deu nada, você precisa descer
My father been said I need Jesus
Meu pai disse que eu preciso de Jesus
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my caesar
Então ele me levou à igreja e deixou a água lavar sobre meu corte de cabelo
The preacher said we need leaders
O pregador disse que precisamos de líderes
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic
Naquele momento meu corpo ficou paralisado como um paraplégico
You know who you call, you got a message, then leave it
Você sabe quem você chama, você tem uma mensagem, então deixe
The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it
O Roc se mantém alto e você nunca acreditaria
Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic
Pegue seus diamantes e jogue-os para cima como se fosse bulímica
Yeah, the beat cold but the flow is anemic
Sim, a batida é fria, mas o fluxo é anêmico
After debris settles and the dust get swept off
Depois que os destroços se assentam e a poeira é varrida
Big K pick up where young Hov left off
Big K pega onde o jovem Hov parou
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off
Bem quando as revistas escreveram Kanye West fora
I dropped my new shit, it sound like the best of
Eu lancei minha nova merda, soa como o melhor de
A&R's lookin' like, "Pssh, we messed up"
A&R's olhando como, "Pssh, nós estragamos"

Noite do Grammy, claro, nos vestimos
Bottle after bottle till we got messed up
Garrafa após garrafa até ficarmos bagunçados
In the studio, with Really Doe, yeah, he next up

[Letra de "Kanye West - Diamonds from Sierra Leone (Traducción al Español)"]
[Intro: Shirley Bassey]
Los diamantes son para siempre
No se irán en la noche
No tengo miedo de que puedan
Abandonarme
[Estribillo: Shirley Bassey & Kanye West]
Los diamantes son para siempre (Para siempre, para siempre)
Tira tus diamantes al cielo si sientes la vibra
Los diamantes son para siempre (Para siempre, para siempre, para siempre)
El Roc sigue vivo cada vez que rimo
¿Para siempre? ¿Para siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre?
¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre?
[Verso 1: Kanye West]
Cierra los ojos e imagina, siente la magia
Vegas en ácido, visto a través de las gafas de Yves St. Laurent
Y me di cuenta que llegué
Porque se necesita más que una revista para matar mi Vibra
"¿Escribe sus propias rimas?" Bueno, más o menos, creo en ellos
Eso significa que olvidé una mierda mejor de la que alguna vez pensaste
"Maldita sea, ¿realmente está tan atrapado?"
Le pregunto, si habla de clásicos, ¿se menciona mi nombre?
Recuerdo que no podía permitirme un Ford Escort
O incluso una grabadora de cuatro pistas
Así que está bien que deje caer la parte superior de un Porsche descapotable
Mímate, eso es importante
Si tu stripper se llama "Porsche" y recibes propinas de muchos hombres
Entonces tu amiga gorda, su apodo es "Minivan"
Disculpe, ese es solo el Henny, hombre
Fumo, bebo, se supone que debo parar, no puedo, porque—
[Estribillo: Shirley Bassey & Kanye West]
Los diamantes son para siempre (Para siempre, para siempre)
Tira tus diamantes al cielo si sientes la vibra
Los diamantes son para siempre (Para siempre, para siempre, para siempre)
El Roc sigue vivo cada vez que rimo
¿Para siempre? ¿Para siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre?
¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre?
[Verso 2: Kanye West]
Estaba harto de premios, nadie podía curarme
La única playa a la que le robaron pero se quedó con todas sus joyas
Alicia Keys intentó hablarle con sentido común
Treinta minutos después viendo que no hay forma de convencerlo
¿Qué más se puede pedir? El gilipollas internacional
¿Quién se queja de lo que se le debe?
Y hacer una rabieta como si tuviera tres años
Sin embargo, debes amarlo: alguien todavía habla desde su alma
Y no cambiaría por el cambio o el juego o la fama
Cuando entró en el juego, hizo su propio carril
Ahora todo lo que necesito es que todos ustedes pronuncien mi nombre
Es Kanye, pero algunas de mis placas todavía dicen "Kayne"
Tengo familia en la D, parientes de Motown
De vuelta en Chicago, esa gente no es de Moe Town
La vida se mueve demasiado rápido, necesito ir más despacio
Chica, no me das un culo, tienes que bajar
Mi padre ha dicho que necesito a Jesús
Así que me llevó a la iglesia y dejó que el agua lavara mi césar
El predicador dijo que necesitamos líderes
En ese momento, mi cuerpo se quedó quieto como un parapléjico
Sabes a quién llamas; tienes un mensaje, entonces déjalo
El Roc se mantiene erguido y nunca lo creerías
Toma tus diamantes y tíralos como si fueras un bulímico
Sí, el ritmo es frío, pero el ritmo es anémico
Después de que los escombros se asientan y el polvo se barre
El gran K retoma donde lo dejó el joven Hov
Justo cuando las revistas escribieron a Kanye West
Dejé caer mi nueva mierda, suena como lo mejor de
A&R parece, "Pssh, nos equivocamos"
Noche de los Grammy, maldita sea, nos vestimos bien
Botella tras botella hasta que nos estropeamos
En el estudio con Really Doe, sí, el siguiente
La gente me pregunta si voy a devolver mi cadena
Ese será el mismo día que le devuelva el juego
Ya sabes la siguiente pregunta, amigo: "¿Dónde está Dame?"
Esta pista de la danza india para traer nuestro reinado de vuelta
"¿Qué pasa contigo y Jay, hombre? ¿Están todos bien, hombre?"
Rezan por la muerte de nuestra dinastía como "Amén"
Pero a-a-a-aquí mismo está un hombre
Con el poder de hacer un diamante con sus propias manos
[Estribillo: Shirley Bassey & Kanye West]
Los diamantes son para siempre (Para siempre, para siempre)
Tira tus diamantes al cielo si sientes la vibra
Los diamantes son para siempre (Para siempre, para siempre, para siempre)
El Roc sigue vivo cada vez que rimo
¿Para siempre? ¿Para siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre?
¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre?
[Outro: Shirley Bassey]
Los diamantes son para siempre (Para siempre, para siempre)
Los diamantes son para siempre (Para siempre, para siempre, para siempre)
Diamonds are forever
Los diamantes son para siempre
They won't leave in the night
No se irán en la noche
I've no fear that they might
No tengo miedo de que puedan
Desert me
Abandonarme
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever)
Los diamantes son para siempre (para siempre, para siempre)
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
Lanza tus diamantes al cielo si sientes la vibra
Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever)
Los diamantes son para siempre (para siempre, para siempre, para siempre)
The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme

¿Para siempre? ¿Para siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre? ¿Siempre, siempre?

Ferme les yeux et imagine, ressens la magie
Vegas on acid, seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses
Vegas sous acide, vu à travers des lunettes Yves St. Laurent
And I've realized that I've arrived
Et j'ai réalisé que je suis arrivé
Cause it take more than a magazine to kill my Vibe
Parce qu'il faut plus qu'un magazine pour tuer mon Vibe
Does he write his own rhymes, well sort of, I think 'em
Est-ce qu'il écrit ses propres rimes, en quelque sorte, je les pense
That mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought of
Cela signifie que j'ai oublié de meilleures choses que tu n'as jamais imaginées
Damn, is he really that caught up?
Merde, est-il vraiment si pris?
I ask if you talked about classics, do my name get brought up?
Je demande si tu parles de classiques, est-ce que mon nom est mentionné?
I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort
Je me souviens que je ne pouvais pas me permettre une Ford Escort
Or even a four-track recorder
Ou même un enregistreur à quatre pistes
So it's only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche
Alors il est normal que je laisse le haut tomber sur une Porsche décapotable
It's for yourself, that's important
C'est pour toi-même, c'est important
If your stripper name "Porscha" and you get tips from many men
Si ton nom de strip-teaseuse est "Porscha" et que tu reçois des pourboires de nombreux hommes
Then your fat friend, her nickname is "Minivan"
Alors ton amie grosse, son surnom est "Minivan"
Excuse me, that's just the Henny, man
Excuse-moi, c'est juste le Henny, mec
I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop, I can't because
Je fume, je bois, je suis censé arrêter, je ne peux pas parce que

I was sick about awards, couldn't nobody cure me
J'étais malade à propos des récompenses, personne ne pouvait me guérir
Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry
Seul joueur qui a été volé mais a gardé tous ses bijoux
Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense in him
Alicia Keys a essayé de lui parler raison
30 minutes later sein' there's no convincin' him
30 minutes plus tard, il n'y a aucun moyen de le convaincre
What more could you ask for? The international asshole
Que pourrais-tu demander de plus? L'imbécile international
Who complain about what he is owed?
Qui se plaint de ce qu'il lui est dû?
And throw a tantrum like he is 3 years old
Et fait une crise comme s'il avait 3 ans
You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul
Tu dois l'aimer bien que quelqu'un parle encore de son âme
And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame
Et ne changerait pas par le changement, ou le jeu, ou la célébrité
When he came in the game, he made his own lane
Quand il est entré dans le jeu, il a créé sa propre voie
Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name
Maintenant tout ce dont j'ai besoin, c'est que vous prononciez mon nom
It's Kanye, but some of my plaques, they still say Kayne
C'est Kanye, mais certaines de mes plaques disent toujours Kayne
Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown
J'ai de la famille à D, des parents de Motown
Back in the Chi, them Folks ain't from Moe Town
De retour à Chi, ces gens ne sont pas de Moe Town
Life movin' too fast I need to slow down
La vie avance trop vite, j'ai besoin de ralentir
Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down
La fille ne m'a pas donné de cul, tu dois descendre
My father been said I need Jesus
Mon père a dit que j'avais besoin de Jésus
So he took me to church and let the water wash over my caesar
Alors il m'a emmené à l'église et a laissé l'eau laver mon césar
The preacher said we need leaders
Le prédicateur a dit que nous avons besoin de leaders
Right then my body got still like a paraplegic

[Intro: Shirley Bassey]
Diamanter är för evigt
De går inte iväg på natten
Jag är inte rädd att de kanske
Överger mig
[Refräng: Shirley Bassey & Kanye West]
Diamanter är för evigt (För evigt, för evigt)
Kasta dina diamanter i skyn om du känner det
Diamanter är för evigt (För evigt, för evigt, för evigt)
The Roc lever fortfarande varje gång jag rimmar
För evigt evigt? För evigt evigt? Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt?
Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt?
[Vers 1: Kanye West]
Blunda och föreställ, känn magin
Vegas på droger, ser genom Yves St. Laurent ögon
Och jag har insett att jag har anlänt
För det tar mer än ett magasin att döda min känsla
"Skriver han sina egna rim?" Typ, jag tänker dem
Det betyder jag glömmer bättre skit än du någonsin tänkt på
"Jävlar, är han verkligen så bra?"
Jag frågar, om du pratar om klassiker, tar man upp mitt namn?
Jag kommer ihåg jag kunde inte köpa en Ford Escort
Eller ens en fyrspårsinspelare
Så det är bara rätt att jag låter taket försvinna på en taklös Porsche
Skäm bort dig själv, det är viktigt
Om ditt stripp namn "Porsche" och du har dricks från många män
Sen din tjocka vän, hennes smeknamn är "Minibuss"
Ursäkta mig, det är bara Hennyn, mannen
Jag röker, jag dricker, jag borde sluta, jag kan inte, för att-
[Refräng: Shirley Bassey & Kanye West]
Diamanter är för evigt (För evigt, för evigt)
Kasta dina diamanter i skyn om du känner det
Diamanter är för evigt (För evigt, för evigt, för evigt)
The Roc lever fortfarande varje gång jag rimmar
För evigt evigt? För evigt evigt? Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt?
Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt?
[Vers 2: Kanye West]
Jag var trött på priser, kunde ingen läka mig
Enda rapparen som blev rånad men hade kvar alla hans smycken
Alicia Keys försökte att prata vett i han
Trettio minuter senare det går inte att övertyga honom
Vad mer kan du fråga efter? Den internationella skiten
Som klagar på vad han är skyldig?
Och explodera i raseri som han är tre år
Fast du måste älska det: någon pratar fortfarande från hans själ
Och ändras inte av ändringen eller spelet eller kändisskapet
När han kom in i spelet, han gjorde sin egna bana
Nu allt jag behöver är att ni uttalar mitt namn
Det är Kanye, men vissa av mina plackor, de säger fortfarande "Kayne"
Har familj i D, släktingar från Motown
Tillbaka i Chi, de är inte från Moe Town
Livet går för snabbt, jag behöver sakta ner
Tjejen ger mig inget, du behöver gå ner
Min pappa säger jag behöver Jesus
Så han tog mig till kyrkan och lät vattnet vaska över mitt hår
Predikanten sa vi behöver ledare
Okej, min kropp är stilla som en paraplegisk
Du vet vem du ska ringa; du har ett meddelade, då lämna det
The Roc står högt och du skulle aldrig tro det
Ta dina diamanter och kasta upp dem som du bulimisk
Yeah, beatet kallt, men flowet är anemisk
Efter att skräpet har lagt sig och dammet sopas bort
Big K började vart unga Hov lämnade
Precis när magasin skrev av Kanye West
Jag släppte min nya skit, det lät som en bästa av
A&R säger typ, "Pssh, vi trasslade till det."
Grammis kväll, okej, vi klär upp oss
Flaska efter flaska tills vi blir störda
I studion med Really Doe, yeah, han är nästa
Folk frågas mig om jag kommer ge tillbaka min kedja
Det kommer vara samma dag jag ger tillbaka spelet
Du vet nästa fråga, bror: "Yo, vart är Dame?"
Det här spåret den indiska dansen som tar tillbaka vårt regn (Woo)
"Hur går det med dig och Jay, mannen? Är ni okej, mannen?"
De ber för död av vår dynasti som "Amen"
Men h-h-h-här står en man
Med kraften att göra en diamant med hans händer
[Refräng: Shirley Bassey & Kanye West]
Diamanter är för evigt (För evigt, för evigt)
Kasta dina diamanter i skyn om du känner det
Diamanter är för evigt (För evigt, för evigt, för evigt)
The Roc lever fortfarande varje gång jag rimmar
För evigt evigt? För evigt evigt? Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt?
Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt? Evigt, evigt?
[Outro: Shirley Bassey]
Diamanter är för evigt (För evigt, för evigt)
Diamanter är för evigt (För evigt, för evigt, för evigt)
