Diamanti Lyrics in English by Michele Bravi

Home / Lyrics translation / Michele Bravi / Diamanti

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diamanti by Michele Bravi from Italian to English.

Ci si accorge sempre tardi

We always realize late

Delle cose andate via

About things that have gone away

Delle favole da grandi

About fairy tales for grown-ups

Senti sempre nostalgia

You always feel nostalgia

Ma adesso lo so, adesso lo so

But now I know, now I know

Che a volte quello che senti

That sometimes what you feel

Per qualcuno è chiaro solamente

For someone is clear only

Quando poi lo perdi

When you lose them

Diamanti, distanti

Diamonds, distant

Negli occhi che ho davanti

In the eyes in front of me

Confusi, distratti

Confused, distracted

Che quasi non riconosco più

That I almost don't recognize anymore

Distanti, lontani

Distant, far away

Ci legano le mani

Our hands are tied

Ma trattenerli a noi non si può

But we can't hold onto them

Ci si perde prima o poi

We get lost sooner or later

Cercando quello che non c'è

Searching for what isn't there

E anche questa volta

And even this time

Lasci indietro una parte di te

You leave a part of yourself behind

E adesso lo so, si adesso lo so

And now I know, yes now I know

Ora che è gia troppo tardi

Now that it's already too late

Diamanti, distanti

Diamonds, distant

Negli occhi che ho davanti

In the eyes in front of me

Confusi, distratti

Confused, distracted

Che quasi non riconosco più

That I almost don't recognize anymore

Distanti, lontani

Distant, far away

Ci legano le mani

Our hands are tied

Ma trattenerli a noi non si può

But we can't hold onto them

Non ci è dato

We are never given

Mai di riprendere

The chance to relive

Le stagioni del passato

The seasons of the past

Non puoi riaverle indietro

You can't have them back

Neanche se tu lo vuoi

Even if you want to

Trattenerle a noi non si può

We can't hold onto them

Diamanti, distanti

Diamonds, distant

Negli occhi che ho davanti

In the eyes in front of me

Confusi, distratti

Confused, distracted

Che quasi non riconosco più

That I almost don't recognize anymore

Distanti, lontani

Distant, far away

Ci legano le mani

Our hands are tied

Ma trattenerli a noi non si può

But we can't hold onto them

Trattenerli a noi non si può

We can't hold onto them
