I Gave My Love A Diamond

Them

Transposer:

I Gave My Love a Diamond As recorded by Them (From the 1965 Album THE ANGRY YOUNG THEM) [Intro] [Verse 1] I gave my love a diamond a ten cent stone I gave her lonely teardrops and nights alone I gave my love a promise that had no truth What good is a promise without no truth? [Interlude] [Verse 2] I gave my love a fortune in silver and gold I gave it to her lie by lie by lie by lie that I had told I gave my love a story that had no end What good is a story that’s got no end? Tell me.. [Interlude] [Verse 3] I wrote her that we would marry In about a-one years time I wrote her in a boxcar on the Memphis Line I sent my love a letter without no stamp ha And what good is a letter without no stamp? [Outro] Good-bye baby I’m feelin’ so alone I’m movin’ on I ain’t got no small change And don’t call me I’ll call you See ya!

La chanson évoque les promesses et les cadeaux offerts à un amour, soulignant l’inutilité de ces gestes lorsque la sincérité fait défaut. Le narrateur parle de dons matériels, comme des bijoux et de l'argent, mais aussi d'engagements vides, de mensonges et de lettres sans timbre. À travers ces paroles, on ressent la tristesse et le regret d’une relation marquée par la désillusion et le sentiment de solitude. Dans un contexte plus large, elle reflète les luttes émotionnelles et les difficultés de l'amour, particulièrement dans une époque où les attentes et la réalité s'entrechoquent. C’est un constat poignant sur la fragilité des relations humaines, où même les plus belles promesses peuvent se révéler illusoires.
