Ramona
The Blue Diamonds Lyrics

The Blue Diamonds' song "Ramona" is a melancholic but sweet farewell to a loved one named Ramona who the singer will be leaving for a year. The lyrics begin with "Ramona, zum Abschied sag' ich dir goodbye" ("Ramona, I say goodbye to you in parting"), acknowledging that the singer is departing and that it's sad to say goodbye. However, the tone of the song remains optimistic, as the singer promises to be there in thought even while absent physically. The lyrics read, "Denn in Gedanken bin ich bei dir" ("For I am with you in thought"), reassuring Ramona that she is not alone. The song is sentimental, as the singer sings, "denk' jeden Tag einmal daran, dass nichts vergeht, was so begann" ("Think every day once about how nothing that begins ever disappears"), which is a poignant message that true love never really dies.

Throughout the song, the singer promises to return with flowers in a year and stay with Ramona once again. The refrain repeats, "Ramona, ein Jahr geht doch so schnell vorbei" ("Ramona, a year goes by so quickly"), emphasizing that even though the separation may feel long, it will pass in no time. The constant reminder of the sun and moon bringing greetings from the singer establishes a sense of constant connection and love that transcends distance and can make the time apart feel more bearable.
