Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diamantes by Alejo from Spanish to English.
Después de andar un par de meses
After walking for a couple of months
Con la nube encima
With the cloud above
Y ver en tu mirada
And see in your eyes
Que la vida nos partía
That life was breaking us
Después de negociar el precio del silencio
After negotiating the price of silence
Y enterrar en el jardín
And bury in the garden
Lo que siento por ti
What I feel for you
Aún no he boxeado
I haven't boxed yet
Y ya me han partido el labio tus palabras
And your words have already broken my lip
Huele a cenizas de incendio provocado
Smells like ashes from arson
Muere un ser querido y asegura
A loved one dies and insures
Que el tiempo es limitante
that time is limiting
El dinero necesario
The money needed
Y tus ojos son diamantes
and your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Dejemos la escopeta del pasado
Let's leave the shotgun of the past
Disparemos a la luna
Let's shoot the moon
Con bailes de salón
with ballroom dancing
Disfruta del cambio de estación
Enjoy the change of season
De coger las riendas de mi mundo maltratado
To take the reins of my abused world
Ahora que el reflejo de una arruga
Now that the reflection of a wrinkle
Es el gesto mas sincero a no habernos rendido
It is the most sincere gesture for not having given up
Miro tú latido y asegura
I look at your heartbeat and assure
Que el tiempo es limitante
that time is limiting
El dinero un escenario
Money a stage
Y tus ojos son diamantes
and your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Boxeo asustado y disimulo
Scared boxing and dissimulation
Que en el ring de tus pestañas
That in the ring of your eyelashes
Aunque fuera noqueado
Even if he was knocked out
Muere un ser querido
A loved one dies
Y aunque cuesta sigo adelante
And even though it's hard, I keep going
En la fachada de la vida
On the facade of life
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes
Your eyes are diamonds
Tus ojos son diamantes'
Your eyes are diamonds
