Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Moulin Rouge Lyrics

The French are glad to die for love...
The French are passionate about their love and they are willing to take it to the extreme.

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
A simple gesture of affection from a sophisticated person could mean a lot to someone who is not used to it.

But diamonds are a girls best friend
Although a kiss is sweet, diamonds are considered a valuable companion for women.

A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
As wonderful as a kiss is, it won't provide for a woman's housing needs.

On your humble flat
In your modest apartment

Or help you feed your, mrow, pussy cat
As a successful woman, diamonds can contribute to supporting other important aspects of life.

Men grow cold as girls grow old
Men lose their attraction as they age, making women feel neglected.

And we all lose our charms in the end
Everyone loses their beauty and appeal as they age.

But square-cut or pear-shaped
Whether it's a square or pear-shaped diamond

These rocks don't lose their shape
These precious stones maintain their shape and value over time.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are an indispensable companion for women.

'Cause we are living in a material world
Since we live in a world that values physical possessions so much

And I am a material girl *blow kiss*
I admit that I'm someone who enjoys material things.

Come and get me boys
I'm available to anyone who can provide me with diamonds.

Oooo...
Expressing excitement or pleasure

Black star
A diamond of exceptional quality and value

Talk to me Harry Zidler, tell me all about it!
Let's hear from Harry Zidler, who's an expert in all things diamond

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
Future circumstances may require a woman to seek legal aid.

(But diamonds are a girl's best friend)
However, diamonds will remain an essential part of a woman's life.

There may come a time when a hard boiled employer
In the future, a tough employer may discourage tenderness and sensitivity.

Thinks you're... (Awful nice)
Thinks you possess qualities that are not valued in the workplace.

Oooo, but get that ice, or else no dice!
Diamonds can compensate for qualities that are not valued in the workplace.

He's your guy when stocks are high
When things are going well, he'll be there for you.

But beware when they start to descend
But when things start to go bad, he may not be reliable anymore.

Diamonds are a girl's best, diamonds are a girl's best
Repeat of previous chorus.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Conclusion: diamonds are essential for a woman's happiness and survival.

Let's make love
Let's express our love for each other.

Oh yes, tiger!
Expressing enthusiasm and passion.

(Everything's going so well!)
Everything is going smoothly and happily.

'Cause that's when those louses
I'm talking about the men who previously neglected me.

Go back to their spouses
They return to their wives when they fail to support their mistresses adequately.

Diamonds...are a...girl's...best...friend!
Final reprise and emphasis on the importance of diamonds for a woman's well-being.
