Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diamond by Jony from Russian to English.
Yee-e, detka, ti siyaesh’ slovno diamond
Yeah-eh, baby, you shine like a diamond
Glyadya na tebya, ya uletayu
Looking at you, I fly away
Slozhno govorit’ tebe proshchai
It's hard to tell you goodbye
No na etot raz ya ne rastayu
But this time I won't melt
U tebya uikendi kazhdii den’
You've got weekends every day
Ti ne d’yavol, no i ne svyataya
You're no devil, yet not a saint
Detka, ti siyaesh’ slovno diamond
Baby, you shine like a diamond
No, uvi ne dlya menya sverkala
But alas, you glittered not for me
Detka, ti siyaesh’ slovno
Baby, you shine like
Vsya iz zvyozd tvoya korona
Your crown is made of stars
Palish’ vzglyadom, kak ksenonom
You burn with your stare like xenon
Gucci, Prada, whatcha wanna?
Ya terpel vsekh tvoikh druzei, nu okei
I put up with all your friends, okay
A kto yest’ druz’ya?
And who are friends?
S kem veselei, sem’ nulei
Whoever is more fun, seven zeros
Na schetu, a ya
In the account, while I
Veril, chto ne kupit’ tvoyu iskrennost’
Believed your honesty wasn't for sale
U neyo yest’ tsena
It had a price
Yav’yu stala srazu tvoya taina
Your secret turned real at once
Kto, kogda, i za chto tebe daril
Who, when and why was giving you
Serdtsu ne prikazhesh’, vsyo pechal’no
You can't command the heart, it's all sad
Kak takuyu stervu polyubil?
How did I love such a b*tch?
Detka, ti siyaesh’ slovno diamond
Baby, you shine like a diamond
Glyadya na tebya, ya uletayu
Looking at you, I fly away
Slozhno govorit’ tebe proshchai
It's hard to tell you goodbye
No na etot raz ya ne rastayu
But this time I won't melt
U tebya uikendi kazhdii den’
You've got weekends every day
Ti ne d’yavol, no i ne svyataya
You're no devil, yet not a saint
Detka, ti siyaesh’ slovno diamond
Baby, you shine like a diamond
No, uvi ne dlya menya siyala
But alas, you didn't shine for me
Vnov’ na tebe moya Balenciaga
Again on you is my Balenciaga
Ya vizhu, ti gorish’ i ochen’ yasno
I see you're burning and very clearly
V tebe ya smog naiti sebya, fiasso
In you I found myself, fiasco
Kak v tebe ya smog naiti sebya? fiasso
How in you did I find myself? fiasco
Vnov’ na tebe moya Balenciaga
Again on you is my Balenciaga
Ya vizhu, ti gorish’ i ochen’ yasno
I see you're burning and very clearly
V tebe ya smog naiti sebya fiasso
In you I found myself, fiasco
Kak v tebe ya smog naiti sebya? Fiasso
How in you did I find myself? fiasco

SONG MEANING
JONY’s “Diamond” glitters with a bittersweet shine. The singer is mesmerized by a woman who sparkles like a precious gem under club lights, dripping in Gucci, Prada, and Balenciaga. Her life seems like an endless weekend, full of dazzling friends and million-ruble bank accounts. While her beauty makes him feel as if he’s taking flight, he slowly realizes that the sparkle he adores is fueled by status and money, not genuine emotion. His repeated refrain — “Baby, you shine like a diamond” — flips from admiration to lament once he recognizes that her brilliance was never meant for him.
The song’s core message is a tug-of-war between fascination and disillusion. JONY confesses that no matter how much he endures her shallow circle or showers her with gifts, he cannot buy her sincerity. The relationship becomes a personal fiasco: painful, yet revealing. In accepting that he must walk away, the singer discovers his own worth beyond the glitter. “Diamond” is ultimately a stylish reminder that true value comes from authenticity, not the flash of luxury labels or the glare of neon lights.
