Ben Harper - Diamonds on The Inside

Benjamin Chase Harper... é o nome do Sr. que escreveu e compôs esta música... uma das mais conhecidas do vasto reportório!!!

A interpretação da letra fica ao critério de cada um... Muitas vezes basta trocar apenas um "boy" por "girl" ou um "no monte debaixo das estrelas" por um "na praia ao som da traineira"!!!! É a beleza das músicas mais "fofinhas"... Cada um de nós lê como se ela fosse escrita para nós, como se o compositor tivesse acertado em cheio num momento bem especial da nossa vida!!

Aqui não há grande ciência... há quem tenha um enorme diamante no interior... e... quem não tenha!!!

A Nica tem!!!!



I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar
She couldn’t spend one day alone
But she couldn’t be satisfied
When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself a bed of nails
And she’s planning on putting it to use
But she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws it’s light into the darkness
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
Tell me why the first to ask
Is the last to give every time
What you say and do not mean
Follows you close behind

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Diamonds

Like the soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the giver’s name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh - diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds
