Diamante Verdadeiro
Caetano Veloso
True Diamond
In this whole universe of glitters and bubbles
Many little kisses, many corks
Popped from the Chandon necks
Not even a third of my boyhood cradle fits
You call yourself high-class and I tune
As much as I go off-key from your tone
Because frankly, my love
My environment is what suddenly arises
Wherever I arrive, just by my arrival
As a sovereign person in this world
I delve deep into existence
And for our coexistence
You also have to know how to reinvent yourself
Because every touch of what you do and say
Just turns New York into something like Paris
While I invent and un-invent fashion
My clothes, my circle
I play between what should and shouldn't be
And I jump over the champagne bubbles you drink
And dance on top of your snow mountain
I am first, I am lighter, I am more me
Just like the true
Diamond you gave me
