"DIAMANT" songtext

"DIAMANT"

Du bist so schön, so wunderschön
Ich will nur dich, immer nur dich ansehen
Du lässt die Welt um mich verblassen
Kann den Blick nicht von dir lassen

Und dieses Funkeln deiner Augen
Will die Seele aus mir saugen

Du bist schön wie ein Diamant
Schön anzusehen wie ein Diamant
Doch bitte lass mich gehen

Wie ein Juwel, so klar und rein
Dein feines Licht war mein ganzes Sein
Wollte dich ins Herzen fassen
Doch was nicht lieben kann, muss hassen

Und dieses Funkeln deiner Augen
Wird die Seele aus mir saugen

Du bist schön wie ein Diamant
Schön anzusehen wie ein Diamant
Doch bitte lass mich gehen
Welche Kraft, was für ein Schein
Wunderschön wie ein Diamant
Doch nur ein Stein

[English translation:]

You are so pretty, so beautiful
I want to look at only you
You make the world around me fade
I can't take my eyes off of you

And this sparkle of your eyes
Wants to suck the soul out of me

You are beautiful, like a diamond
Beautiful to look at, like a diamond
But please let me go

Like a jewel, so clear and clean
Your fine light was my whole being
Wanted to take a hold of you in my heart
But what cannot love, must hate

And this sparkle of your eyes
Wants to suck the soul out of me

You are beautiful, like a diamond
Beautiful to look at, like a diamond
But please let me go
What a power, what a shine
Beautiful like a diamond
Yet just a stone

Erik Bickerstaffe, guitarist of Loathe, described this track by saying, "With 'Diamant', Rammstein have created a solemn, dark environment which honestly transports me to the top of a Medieval castle guarded by a massive dragon. The vibe is super reminiscent of older folk in that sense, like the stuff you would hear in Shrek. The guitar however reminds me of earlier Radiohead acoustic efforts also drawing comparisons to the works of Russian Circles with the arpeggiated chords throughout. Lovely stuff."
