Eine Handvoll Diamanten
Udo Jürgens
A Handful Of Diamonds
(Poor Jimmy)
(True Love)
(There is no other place in the world for this)
A handful of diamonds
Was his entire capital
Jim had given his life for this
More daring than a hundred times
On the diamond fields
In the sun hellfire
In the deepest jungle
Did he fight for this good
(Poor Jimmy)
(Poor Jimmy)
(Diamonds open every door)
But love
True love
There is nowhere in the world for this
A handful of diamonds
Brought Jim back home
But the glittering bright stones
Didn't bring him true happiness
He soon found a young girl
And lost his heart immediately
And he asked her after two days
For her hand and her word
(Poor Jimmy)
(Poor Jimmy)
(Diamonds open every door)
But love
True love
There is nowhere in the world for this
And the handful of diamonds
The poor fool gave her
Because for Jim she was the most beautiful
What he had ever encountered
But she took another
A poor young man
And so life began for Jim
Once again from the beginning
(Poor Jimmy)
(Poor Jimmy)
(Diamonds open every door)
But love
True love
There is nowhere in the world for this
