Looking for direction , the mighty Amazon
Only one ambition , to find the precious stone
When I was a boy it was a vision
Now it all just seems like deja-vu
Maybe it was all a premonition
Searchin' for treasure in the land of Peru , ooh

Diamonds ( diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds ( diamonds) , he won't stop , the kid goes on and on

Saw the holy temple , a man was on his knees
Sacrificion ceremony , the Gods they wanna please , oh
Then the people shouted with emotion
Try to scale the giant pyramid
Following the writing on the sandstone
(saying the stone was in the room of the dead) oh no no no

Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on

Oh burning with fever , I'm dying of hunger
I'm searching all night , searching all night , all night

(break)

Then I jumped and run into the jungle
The solid ground gave way beneath my feet
Fallen inside an icy tomb forever
(the rock he was after is now out of reach)

Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon
Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on
Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon
