英國黑人歌姬［雪莉貝西］──００７詹姆士龐德第［金鋼鑽］主題曲──［Diamonds Are Forever/鑽石永恆］

Diamonds are forever, they are all I need to please me

They can stimulate and tease me

They wont leave in the night

Ive no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever, hold one up and then caress it

Touch it, stroke it and undress it

I can see evry part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

I dont need love, for what good will love do me?

Diamonds never lie to me

For when loves gone, theyll lustre on

Diamonds are forever, sparkling round my little finger

Unlike men, the diamonds linger

Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for

I dont need love, for what good will love do me?

Diamonds never lie to me

For when loves gone, theyll lustre on

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever

作詞/作曲：John Barry

１９７１年　英國蘇格蘭巨星史恩康納萊重返００７情報員系列電影

主演詹姆士龐德第七部電影［Diamonds Are Forever／金鋼鑽］, 再度全球大賣

原聲帶專輯二度邀請曾演唱過１９６５年［Goldfinger／金手指］同名主題曲的威爾斯歌姬雪莉貝西（Shirley Bassey）演繹［Diamonds Are Forever］標題曲

此曲由本片配樂者約翰貝瑞（John Barry）譜寫製作, 是首中板流行曲

在穩定的節拍中, 雪莉的靈魂嗓音的詮釋扎實而精細入微, 氣勢有力

後來約翰貝瑞在電視節目提到, 他在錄製時告訴雪莉, 想像在對陽具唱歌

據聞［Goldfinger］製片之一的Harry Saltzman並不喜歡歌詞的諷刺意味

但由於另一製片Albert Brocolli喜歡, 才定為主題曲

貝西並灌錄了義大利文版［Une Cascata di Diamonti（Vivo di Diamonti）］

［Diamonds Are Forever/鑽石永恆］反應普通：英國榜＃３８　美國榜＃５７（＋Easy Listening榜＃１４）

２００５年美國嘻哈歌手Kayne West的［Diamond from Sierre Leone］取樣此曲,雪莉的聲音貫穿全曲, 單曲登上美國榜＃４３　英國榜＃８

這是貝西事業的代表作之一
