Paroles et traduction Nacha Guevara - Diamantes En Almíbar

Diamantes En Almíbar

Tú ensagrabas tus aviones
Con caviares de ultramar
Yo planeaba otro paseo
De París a Pakistán
Tu agregabas dependencias
A nuestro último chalet
Yo estropeaba mis chinchillas
Con extractos de Channel

Y al volver
Bajaremos un ratito en Acapulco
Yo enjuagaré mis joyas en el mar
Mientras tú fumas un puro
O tal vez
Tomaremos un tecito en la Riviera
O comeremos en La Tour D′Argent
Una cosita ligera
Tan ligera, ligera

Yo guisaba esmeraldas
En sahumerios del Irak
Tu explorabas las chequeras
En tractores Cadillac
Yo iba de lo de Rainiero
A lo de Pepa Borbón
Tú vacunabas la hacienda
Con petróleo on the rocks

Y al volver
Bajaremos un ratito en San Francisco
Y con los hippies, que son un amor
Fumaremos un puchito
O tal vez
Hagamos una vaquita en Montecarlo
O merendemos junto al Partenón
Echados en el pasto
Y si no hay pasto
Lo instalamos

Bocadillos de azucenas
Mink con moka del mikado
Copa melba de diamantes
Safari planificado
Elefantes de turquesa
Madreperlas al limón
Los millones de Onnassis
La gran ducha de neón

Y al volver
Donaremos monseñores y maestros
Sabios y artistas y un gran pulmotor
Para evadir impuestos
Pues ya ves
Qué sencillo es ser feliz si te acomodas
A lo poquito que la suerte te giró
Y con eso te conformas

Candied Diamonds

You consecrate your planes
With overseas caviar
I was planning another trip
From Paris to Pakistan
You were adding dependencies
To our latest chalet
I spoiled my chinchillas
With extracts of Channel

And when we return
We'll stop off for a bit in Acapulco
I'll rinse my jewels in the sea
While you smoke a cigar
Or maybe
We'll have a little tea on the Riviera
Or we'll eat at La Tour D′Argent
Something light
So light, so light

I cooked emeralds
In incense burners from Iraq
You were exploring checkbooks
In Cadillac tractors
I went from Rainier's
To Pepa Borbón's
You vaccinated the estate
With petroleum on the rocks

And when we return
We'll stop off for a bit in San Francisco
And with the hippies, who are so loving
We'll smoke a little joint
Or maybe
We'll do a little gambling in Monte Carlo
Or we'll have a snack by the Parthenon
Lying in the grass
And if there is no grass
We'll install some

Lily sandwiches
Mink with moka from the Mikado
Diamond melba cup
Planned safari
Turquoise elephants
Mother-of-pearl with lemon
Onassis's millions
The great neon shower

And when we return
We'll donate monsignors and teachers
Sages and artists and a great respirator
To evade taxes
Well, you see
How easy it is to be happy if you settle
For the little that luck gave you
And you're satisfied with that
