Aretha Franklin - One Room Paradise [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I don’t need no diamonds (she don’t need)
And I don’t need no money (she don’t need, she don’t)
Some people live in castles with sixty or seventy rooms (she don’t)
Some people dream about a penthouse doll or a mansion on the moon

[Chorus]
But I got me a little one room paradise and the man I love (and the man I love)
And that’s all I need now
And the man I love (and the man I love)

[Verse 2]
Some girls are crazy about diamonds (diamonds)
Some go wild about pearls (go wild)
Some girls go for a lot of loot from a check book that isn't hers (show isn't hers)

[Chorus]
But I got me a little one room to paradise and the man I love (and the man I love)
And that’s all I need now
And the man I love (and the man I love)

[Verse 3]
Now, if one day he lucks up on a magic pot of gold (pot of gold)
I wouldn't mind a little diamond ring or a fur coat for the cold (ooh)
But if it meant I had to lose just what I've got right now (right now)
Then I don’t need no gold anyhow (no, no, oh)
I can’t make love with no diamonds (diamonds)
Give them all to somebody else (anybody)
And what good is one hundred rooms if you’re debtor by yourself (yes, you)

[Chorus]
So I’ll take me my little one room paradise and the man I love (and the man I love)
Well, that’s all I need now
And the man I love (and the man I love)

[Outro]
I don’t need no diamonds (she don’t need no diamonds)
Said I don’t need no money (she don’t need no money, she don’t)
