Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

      (a-wa a-wa) Odez enzuene zanamchinge | | (a-wa a-wa) Si bona kwenze ka kanjani | | (a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza | She's a rich girl | | She don't try to hide it | Diamonds on the soles of her shoes | | He's a poor boy | Empty as a pocket | Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose Sing Ta na na, ta na na na She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes Ta na na, ta na na na She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes    Diamonds on the soles of her shoes   Diamonds on the soles of her shoes   Diamonds on the soles of her shoes   Diamonds on the soles of her shoes   | || | People say she's crazy She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes Well that's one way to lose these walking blues    Diamonds on the soles of her shoes       She was physically forgotten Then she slipped into my pocket With my car keys She said you've taken me for granted Because I please you Wearing these di-iamonds           And I could say oo - - -    As if everybody knows What I'm talking about As if everybody here would know Exactly what I was talking about Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes   | | | | | || || |   She makes the sign of a teaspoon He makes the sign of a wave The poor boy changes clothes and puts on after-shave To compensate for his ordinary shoes        And she said honey take me dancing But they ended up by sleeping In a doorway By the bodegas and the lights on Upper Broadway Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes        And I could say oo - - -    And everybody here would know What I was talking about I mean everybody here would know exactly what I was talking about Talking about di-iamonds | | | | | || || |   People say I'm crazy I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes Well that's one way to lose these walking blues    Diamonds on the soles of your shoes   Repeat and fade: Ta na na na na, ta na na na na

La chanson évoque un contraste entre la richesse et la pauvreté à travers l'image d'une jeune femme fortunée qui se pavane avec des diamants aux pieds, tandis qu'un jeune homme sans argent se sent démuni. On suit leur histoire, illustrant à quel point la superficialité peut cacher des réalités plus profondes. Malgré ses richesses, elle est souvent perçue comme excentrique, tandis que lui tente de se donner une importance par des gestes simples. Leur rencontre, pleine d'espoir et de désillusion, nous montre que derrière les apparences, il y a des émotions partagées. Le contexte reflète cette dynamique de société où les classes sociales se croisent, et comment chacune peut enrichir la vie de l'autre. Leurs échanges, tantôt légers, tantôt profonds, illustrent la quête d'évasion des difficultés quotidiennes, mêlant rêve et réalité. Cette chanson met en lumière la beauté des relations humaines au-delà des possessions matérielles.
