Diamante
Morissette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
totoong kumikinang na pag-ibig.
Kaliwa't kanang huwad pala ang kulay.
Ng mapagsamantala nilang daigdig.
At nang sumilay ang sinag.
Na parang araw ang sikat.
Nagniningning, umiilaw.
Walang iba kundi ikaw.
Kampante, diyan sa piling mo.
Diamante, tulad ng bituin.
Brilyante, sa aking paningin.
Siyang hulog ng langit.
Sagot sa dalangin.
Iba ka talaga. Pinakamahalaga...
Sa'kin.
Kislap ng ‘yong liwanag ay...
Busilak mong tinataglay.
Nililok sa pagmamahal.
Matibay at magtatagal.
Diamante, ang pag-ibig mo.
Kampante, diyan sa piling mo.
Diamante, tulad ng bituin.
Brilyante, sa aking paningin.
Siyang hulog ng langit.
Sagot sa dalangin.
Iba ka talaga. Pinakamahalaga...
Sa'kin.
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Siyang hulog ng langit.
Sagot sa dalangin.
Iba ka talaga.
Pinakamahalaga... Sa'kin.
Matagal ko nang inaasam ang tunay.
Totoong kumikinang na pag-ibig.
In Morissette's song "Diamante," the lyrics express a deep longing for a true and genuine love that shines bright like a diamond. The singer is fed up with the fake and manipulative world around her where people's colors are not true. However, when she catches a glimpse of someone who truly shines, she sees nothing but them; they become the only thing that glimmers and sparkles in her eyes, like a diamond.
Through the metaphor of a diamond, the singer praises the person's love for being secure and comforting, providing a sense of peace and joy. The deep sense of gratitude and admiration that the singer feels is highlighted through the repetition of the chorus where she sings, "Diamante, ang pag-ibig mo. Kampante, diyan sa piling mo" (Diamond, your love. Peaceful, being with you). She values the purity of their love and views it as a gift from the heavens that answers her prayer.
The song is undoubtedly an ode to the person whom the singer loves, but also a reminder that true love can be found amongst the chaos and fakeness of the world. Through the use of captivating metaphors, Morissette successfully conveys her message of love and admiration for that special someone.

True love that shines and sparkles.
Kaliwa't kanang huwad pala ang kulay.
