Les diamants sont solitaires [English translation]

When turning the lights off

so the world is clearer,

we can see them coming out of the shadows,

all those who shine, those who are in the way.

When silencing the world

to find our finest hearing,

we can listen in silence

to all those who shout and those who think.

If every person shines in their own way,

there are pebbles all over the ground.

If every person shines in their own way,

on their own diamonds are lonely.

On their own diamonds are lonely.

When holding our breaths

to tune our inherent sense,

we can feel on the pavement

those who evaporate and those who perfume.

Let us make our appetites hungry

to enjoy life again.

In an apple, we can even chew

those who taste it, those who poison it.

If every person shines in their own way,

there are pebbles all over the ground.

If every person shines in their own way,

on their own diamonds are lonely.

On their own diamonds are lonely.

When isolating ourselves inside our bubbles

to touch those who emulate us,

with one gesture we can graze

those who love and those who hate.

If every person shines in their own way,

there are pebbles all over the ground.

If every person shines in their own way,

on their own diamonds are lonely.

On their own diamonds are.

If every person shines in their own way,

there are pebbles all over the ground.

If every person shines in their own way,

on their own diamonds are lonely.

On their own diamonds are lonely, lonely.

Lonely.

(If every person shines...)

On their own diamonds are lonely.
