Aladdin (OST) [2019] - Arabian Nights
"Only one may enter here
One whose worth lies far within
A diamond in the rough"
Crushed up
Like a diamond in the rough
I'm like "What's up?"
I gotta holler just to be heard.
With every word, I drop knowledge!
I’m a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
tryin’ to reach my goal. My power of speech: unimpeachable.
Crushed up
Like a diamond in the rough
I'm like "What's up?"
Waiting for a chance to pick your orange field
Up and up, up and up
See a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
Red Velvet - IRENE & SEULGI - Diamond
Diamond diamond in the rough
Diamond in the rough
Diamond diamond in the rough
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough
Only one may enter here, one whose worth lies far within
A diamond in the rough
When you think I've said enough, tell me, and I'll bite my tongue
But don't you think I won't remember
Like a diamond in the rough, you didn't see for what it was
And cut a hole right through the center
I can’t look at you,
you’re dazzling boy I’m so blind
I’m a diamond in the rough, I’m your
bride, I’m going to make you mine,
mais littéralement ça veut dire "attrape l'hameçon", ce que Maui essaye de faire.)
(*2 J'ai eu du mal à traduire cette phrase car "Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough" est un jeu de mot avec l'expréssion "diamond in the rough" qu'on pourrait dire à quelqu'un qui a un coeur d'or.)
Rumi - Show Me Your Visage, Grant Me Orchards, Rose-Gardens
I’m but a pauper,yet I won’t accept jewels of lesser value1
Grant me that rare diamond in the rough2
Nickelback - Gotta Be Somebody
You can't give up, (when you're looking for)
a diamond in the rough (' cause you never know)
When it shows up, (make sure you're holding on)
You said you did the same thing at my age.
You show me that I was just a 'diamond in the rough'.
You helped me to grow into the man that I've become.
C'est pas possible cet amour
C'est incroyable
Tu me fais transpirer
C'est parfait
We Three (United States) - Sara
Little Sara, you're a diamond in the rough
And I know that you don't hear this all enough
And I'm sure that's why your wrists have tons of cuts
And I'm sure that's why you think you're not enough
yeah I gettin’ on em bitch, gettin on em rich
the son of the seaside, you’re son of a beach
I shine like a diamond in the rough, like son of a jade******
I’m a monster, son of a Stitch
Aladdin (OST) [2019] - The Arabian Nights
(Only a person deserves to enter)
(His or her characteristic must be worthy)
(Just like a diamond in the rough)
Preachers cherry pick gossip like violets
Vilify stars like the nihilist
Cannot win them all (They might just)
Mistake jealousy for judging one’s taste
It's like someone intended it.
(Like advertising cigarettes...)
A diamond in the rough begets
the diamond with a scruff you get.
