Diamonds are forever,
Diamonds are enduring and timeless.
They are all I need to please me,
The speaker finds satisfaction and fulfillment in diamonds.
They can stimulate and tease me,
Diamonds can excite and entice the speaker.
They won´t leave in the night,
Diamonds won't abandon the speaker during difficult times.
I´ve no fear that they might desert me.
The speaker has no fear of being abandoned by diamonds.
Diamonds are forever,
Reiteration of the enduring nature of diamonds.
Hold one up and then caress it,
The speaker expresses a sensual connection with diamonds.
Touch it, stroke it and undress it,
The speaker enjoys physically engaging with diamonds.
I can see every part,
The speaker appreciates every aspect of diamonds.
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me.
Nothing hidden in the heart of diamonds can cause emotional harm to the speaker.
I don´t need love,
The speaker asserts independence, claiming not to need love.
For what good will love do me?
The speaker questions the value of love in their life.
Diamonds never lie to me,
Diamonds are seen as truthful and reliable unlike love.
For when love´s gone,
When love fades, diamonds continue to shine.
They´ll luster on.
Diamonds maintain their brilliance even after love is gone.
Diamonds are forever,
Reiteration of the everlasting quality of diamonds.
Sparkling round my little finger.
Diamonds adorn the speaker's finger, emphasizing their importance.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Comparison between the lasting nature of diamonds and the transience of men.
Men are mere mortals who
Men are portrayed as mortal and not worth sacrificing for.
Are not worth going to your grave for.
The speaker advises against giving up life for men.
I don´t need love,
Reiteration of not needing love.
For what good will love do me?
Reiterating the skepticism about the value of love.
Diamonds never lie to me,
Diamonds are presented as trustworthy companions.
For when love´s gone,
When love diminishes, diamonds continue to shine.
They´ll luster on.
Diamonds maintain their brilliance post love-loss.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Emphasizing the everlasting nature of diamonds through repetition.
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever.
Continuation of the theme of diamonds being eternal.
Forever and ever.
Reiteration of the enduring quality of diamonds, emphasizing eternity.
