Płoń, Płoń, Szalony Diamencie

Remember when you were young

You shone like the sun

Shine on you crazy diamond

Now there's a look in your eyes

Like black holes in the sky

Shine on you crazy diamond

You were caught on the cross fire

of childhood and stardom,

Blown on the steel breeze

Come on you target for faraway laughter,

Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr

and shine

You reached for the secret too soon

You cried for the moon

Shine on you crazy diamond

Threatened by shadows at night

And exposed in the light

Shine on you crazy diamond

Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,

Rode on the steel breeze

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner,

and shine!

Nobody knows where you are

How near or how far

Shine on you crazy diamond

Pile on many more layers

And I'll be joining you there

Shine on you crazy diamond

And we'll bask in the shadow

Of yesterday's triumph

Sail on the steel breeze

Come on you boy child

You winner and loser

Come on you miner for truth and delusion

And shine
