Sparkling Diamonds [Italian translation]

[Satine:]

The French are glad to die for love

They delight in fighting duels

But I prefer a man who lives

And gives expensive jewels

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental,

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

A kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental

On your humble flat, or help you feed your pussy cat

Men grow cold as girls grow old,

And we all lose our charms in the end

But square-cut or pear-shaped,

These rocks don't lose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend!

...Tiffany's...Cartier...

[Satine and the Diamond Dogs:]

'Cause we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

[Satine:]

*kiss sound* Ah

Come and get me, boys

Black Star, Ross Cole

Talk to me, Harry Zilder, tell me all about it!

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

[Zidler and the Diamond Dogs:]

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Satine:]

There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer thinks you're...

[Zidler:]

Awful nice!

[Satine:]

But get that ice or else no dice!

Diamond Dogs:

He's your guy when stocks are high

But beware when they start to descend

Oooo... Diamonds are a girl's best,

Diamonds are a girls best,

Diamonds are a girls best friend!

[Satine:]

Let's make love

Yes!

Oh, come on

Yes!

[Zilder:]

Oh!

[Satine:]

Tiger!

Roar! Roar!

[Nini Legs-In-The-Air:]

Ole!

[Zidler:]

Everything's going so well!

[Satine:]

'Cause that's those louses go back to their spouses!

Diamonds... are a... girl's... best... friend!
