Lyrics and translation Marilyn Monroe - Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (live in Korea, 1954)
The
French
are
glad
to
die
for
love.
Les
Français
sont
heureux
de
mourir
pour
l'amour.
They
delight
in
fighting
to
love
Ils
aiment
se
battre
pour
l'amour
But
I
prefer
a
man
who
lives
Mais
je
préfère
un
homme
qui
vit
And
gives
expensive
jewels.
Et
qui
offre
des
bijoux
coûteux.
A
kiss
on
the
hand
Un
baiser
sur
la
main
May
be
quite
continental,
Peut
être
assez
continental,
But
diamonds
are
a
girl's
best
friend.
Mais
les
diamants
sont
les
meilleurs
amis
d'une
fille.
A
kiss
may
be
grand
Un
baiser
peut
être
grandiose
But
it
won't
pay
the
rental
Mais
il
ne
paiera
pas
le
loyer
On
your
humble
flat
De
ton
modeste
appartement
Or
help
you
at
the
automat.
Ni
ne
t'aidera
à
l'automat.
Men
grow
cold
Les
hommes
deviennent
froids
As
girls
grow
old,
Alors
que
les
filles
vieillissent,
And
we
all
lose
our
charms
in
the
end.
Et
nous
perdons
toutes
notre
charme
à
la
fin.
But
square-cut
or
pear-shaped,
Mais
carré
ou
en
forme
de
poire,
These
rocks
don't
lose
their
shape.
Ces
pierres
ne
perdent
pas
leur
forme.
Diamonds
are
a
girl's
best
friend.
Les
diamants
sont
les
meilleurs
amis
d'une
fille.
Tiffany's!
Tiffany!
Cartier!
Cartier!
Black
Starr!
Black
Starr!
Frost
Gorm!
Frost
Gorm!
Talk
to
me
Harry
Winston.
Parle-moi
Harry
Winston.
Tell
me
all
about
it!
Dis-moi
tout!
There
may
come
a
time
Il
peut
arriver
un
moment
When
a
lass
needs
a
lawyer,
Où
une
fille
a
besoin
d'un
avocat,
But
diamonds
are
a
girl's
best
friend.
Mais
les
diamants
sont
les
meilleurs
amis
d'une
fille.
There
may
come
a
time
Il
peut
arriver
un
moment
When
a
hard-boiled
employer
Où
un
patron
dur
à
cuire
Thinks
you're
awful
nice,
Te
trouve
très
agréable,
But
get
that
ice
or
else
no
dice.
Mais
obtiens
ces
glaçons
sinon
pas
de
dés.
He's
your
guy
Il
est
ton
mec
When
stocks
are
high,
Quand
les
actions
sont
en
hausse,
But
beware
when
they
start
to
descend.
Mais
méfie-toi
quand
elles
commencent
à
baisser.
It's
then
that
those
louses
C'est
alors
que
ces
coquins
Go
back
to
their
spouses.
Retournent
chez
leurs
épouses.
Diamonds
are
a
girl's
best
friend.
Les
diamants
sont
les
meilleurs
amis
d'une
fille.
I've
heard
of
affairs
J'ai
entendu
parler
d'affaires
That
are
strictly
platonic,
Qui
sont
strictement
platoniques,
But
diamonds
are
a
girl's
best
friend.
Mais
les
diamants
sont
les
meilleurs
amis
d'une
fille.
And
I
think
affairs
Et
je
pense
que
les
affaires
That
you
must
keep
liaisonic
Que
tu
dois
garder
liaisons
Are
better
bets
Sont
de
meilleurs
paris
If
little
pets
get
big
baguettes.
Si
les
petits
animaux
de
compagnie
reçoivent
de
gros
baguettes.
Time
rolls
on,
Le
temps
passe,
And
youth
is
gone,
Et
la
jeunesse
est
partie,
And
you
can't
straighten
up
when
you
bend.
Et
tu
ne
peux
pas
te
redresser
quand
tu
te
penches.
But
stiff
back
Mais
dos
raide
Or
stiff
knees,
Ou
genoux
raides,
You
stand
straight
at
Tiffany's.
Tu
te
tiens
droite
chez
Tiffany.
Diamonds!
Diamonds!
Diamants!
Diamants!
I
don't
mean
rhinestones!
Je
ne
parle
pas
de
strass!
But
diamonds
are
a
girl's
best
friend.
Mais
les
diamants
sont
les
meilleurs
amis
d'une
fille.
