Description
Time slips away like sand through your fingers - first it tickles, then it scratches. It seems like just a moment ago a shiny stone was gleaming in your palm, but now there is no shine, nor even the stone itself. It seems like everything was there, but where did it go - it's unclear.
In these lines, silver tarnishes faster than you can polish it, and feelings become like precious stones that are easier to hide away than to learn to cherish. Black jewellery shines discreetly, almost menacingly - as if hinting: don't touch if you're not ready to take responsibility.
The song is a reminder that love and values live only as long as they are truly cherished. And if not, only dark fragments remain, which are best viewed from a distance.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Gioielli, gioielli neri
Gioielli, gioielli neri
Passa veloce ma così veloce il tempo
Così veloce da far consumare il pianto
Tra, tra, tra, tra le mie mani un gioiello
Che non è mai più stato trovato
Passa veloce ma così veloce il tempo
Così veloce da far consumare l'argento
Ma come, come, come fai a non curarlo
Se, se, se, se dici tanto di amarlo?
Se, se, se, se, se dici tanto di amarlo?
Gioielli neri
Guardali da lontano se non sai farlo
Guardali da lontano se non sai farlo
Gioielli neri, gioielli neri
Gioielli neri, gioielli neri
English translation
Jewels, black jewels
Jewels, black jewels
Time passes quickly but so quickly
So fast that it makes you cry
Between, between, between, in my hands a jewel
Which was never found again
Time passes quickly but so quickly
So fast that it consumes the silver
But how, how, how do you not cure it
If, if, if, if you say you love him so much?
If, if, if, if, if you say you love him so much?
Black jewelry
Look at them from afar if you don't know how
Look at them from afar if you don't know how
Black jewels, black jewels
Black jewels, black jewels
