Translation of the song lyrics Todos los Diamantes Son Brutos - Alfonsina

Todos los Diamantes Son Brutos (original)

Nos íbamos a convertir, dos diamantes en el barro
Yo te puedo divertir, yo te cargo
Entramos a un hogar oscuro, fiel copia de donde vinimos
Vos acercaste las velas, yo el vino
Y nos pedíamos perdón por vanas insignificancias
En punto muerto la ambición, éramos sanas ansias
Nos íbamos a convertir, dos diamantes en el barro
Yo te puedo divertir, yo te cargo
Hoy calma, calma mi vida cuando vos no estás
Y sangran, sangran heridas que vos no cerrás cuando te vas
Yo nunca entendí qué buscás
Me pediste más valor, yo me armé de piedra hasta el alma
Me abrazaste con fuerza para que no me desarmara
Desértico se puso el mar y cuervos nos sobrevolaban
No nos dijimos qué nos preocupaba
Me quise recuperar, me miré al espejo y no había nada
No estabas para devolver la mirada
Hoy calma, calma mi vida cuando vos no estás
Y sangran, sangran heridas que vos no cerrás cuando te vas
Yo nunca entendí qué buscás

Todos los Diamantes Son Brutos (translation)

We were to become, two diamonds in the mud
I can amuse you, I charge you
We entered a dark home, a faithful copy of where we came from
You brought the candles closer, I the wine
And we apologized for vain trifles
In deadlock ambition, we were healthy desires
We were to become, two diamonds in the mud
I can amuse you, I charge you
Today calm, calm my life when you are not
And they bleed, they bleed wounds that you don't close when you leave
I never understood what you are looking for
You asked me for more courage, I armed myself with stone to the soul
You hugged me tight so I wouldn't disarm
The sea became desertic and crows flew over us
We didn't tell each other what we were worried about
I wanted to recover, I looked in the mirror and there was nothing
You weren't there to return the look
Today calm, calm my life when you are not
And they bleed, they bleed wounds that you don't close when you leave
I never understood what you are looking for
