Diamonds
RaeLynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone down in California traded it for a TV
Another one in a pretty blue box
Somewhere up in New York, white ribbon, Tiffany's
One's catchin' dust in a drawer in a dresser at your grandma's house
That's been there since 1953
But honestly
Love is just a word 'til you feel it and finally understand
That some things don't mean anything 'til one day they mean everything
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Kinda like diamonds
Kinda like diamonds
I ain't saying they aren't pretty and the way they feel
Doesn't feel just like an answer to a little girls dream
Ain't saying they ain't fun to show off
To your friends and get the chills when you hear them scream
But if your hearts not in it, forget it
'Cause a diamonds, just a diamond 'til you put it on the right left hand
Love is just a word 'til you feel it and finally understand
That some things don't mean anything 'til one day they mean everything
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Kinda like diamonds
Kinda like diamonds
I don't need one just to hold on to
I don't want one unless it comes with you
'Cause a diamonds, just a diamond 'til you put it on the right left hand
And love is just a word 'til you feel it and finally understand
That some things don't mean anything 'til one day they mean everything
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Kinda like diamonds
Kinda like diamonds

She repeats the phrase “kinda like diamonds” throughout the song, implying that true love and happiness can shine just as bright as a diamond.

RAELYNN (2017) – DIAMONDS (Traducción)
There's one sittin' in a pawn shop glass counter
Hay uno en una tienda de empeños, en un mostrador de cristal
Someone down in California traded it for a TV
Alguien abajo en California lo canjeó por una tele
Another one in a pretty blue box
Otro en una bonita caja azul
Somewhere up in New York, white ribbon, Tiffany's
En algún lugar arriba en Nueva York, con una cinta blanca, de Tyffany´s
One's catchin' dust in a drawer in a dresser
Uno cogiendo polvo en un cajón en un tocador
At your grandma's house that's been there since 1953
En la casa de tu abuela que lleva allí desde 1953
But honestly
Pero honestamente
A diamonds just a diamond
Un diamante es sólo un diamante
Till you put it on the right left hand
Hasta que lo pones en la mano izquierda correcta
Love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand
El amor es sólo una palabra hasta que lo sientes y finalmente comprendes
That some things don't mean anything
Que algunas cosas no significan nada
Till one day they mean everything
Hasta un día en que lo significan todo
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Y estás volando, sonriendo y brillando
Kinda like diamonds
Algo así como los diamantes
Kinda like diamonds
Algo así como los diamantes
I ain't saying they aren't pretty and the way they feel
No estoy diciendo que no sean bonitos y que la manera en que hacen sentir
Doesn't feel just like an answer to a little girls dream
No parezca la respuesta al sueño de una chiquilla
Ain't saying they ain't fun to show off to your friends
No estoy diciendo que no sean divertidos para presumir ante tus amigas
And get the chills when you hear them scream
Y sentir escalofríos cuando las oyes gritar
But if your hearts not in it, forget it
Pero si tu corazón no está involucrado, olvídalo
Cause a diamonds just a diamond
Porque un diamante sólo es un diamante
Till you put it on the right left hand
Hasta que lo pones en la mano izquierda correcta
Love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand
El amor es sólo una palabra hasta que lo sientes y finalmente comprendes
That some things don't mean anything
Que algunas cosas no significan nada
Till one day they mean everything
Hasta un día en que lo significan todo
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Y estás volando, sonriendo y brillando
Kinda like diamonds
Algo así como los diamantes
Kinda like diamonds
Algo así como los diamantes
I don't need one just to hold on to
No necesito uno, sólo para guardarlo
I don't want one unless it comes with you
No quiero uno a menos que venga contigo
Cause a diamonds just a diamond
Porque un diamante sólo es un diamante
Till you put it on the right left hand
Hasta que lo pones en la mano izquierda correcta
Love is just a word till you feel it and finally understand
El amor es sólo una palabra hasta que lo sientes y finalmente comprendes
That some things don't mean anything
Que algunas cosas no significan nada
Till one day they mean everything
Hasta un día en que lo significan todo
And you're flyin', smilin' and shinin'
Y estás volando, sonriendo y brillando
Kinda like diamonds

Nancy Atwood
Heard this on HBO this morning and had to look it up so I could listen to it more. I love the words to it. She is a rare beauty just like a DIAMOND! Stay true to yourself and keep up the great music.
Music Man
Music + Lyrics = Perfection.... i hope she goes far....Great

Michelle Barraclough
beautiful song for a beautiful voice.
TheyBeChillin
I think what this song means is that diamonds don't really mean anything until you make it mean something. That it's really the memories or the meaning not the thing itself.
William Sabellico
Love her voice….❤️

i love the second verse! I ain't sayin' they aren't pretty and the way they feel
Doesn't feel just like an answer to a little girl's dream
Ain't sayin' they ain't fun to show off to your friends
And get the chills when you hear them scream
