Amigo Mío

You arrived a long time ago
You wanted everyone to hear you
You were looking for the opportunity
to showcase your art in a thousand ways

Your song began to be heard
managing to cross borders
now everyone is
singing what you desire

My friend
on behalf of my people I am
thanking you
for gifting us with your voice
and those songs
that allow us to get to know
our friend
whom we don't want to lose

You sing about love and more
to people who love you so much
your music has no end
silencing you now would be a sin

I can say little
but you have given so much
and Mexico knows it well
that's why you won't be forgotten

My friend
on behalf of my people I am
thanking you
for gifting us with your voice
and those songs
that allow us to get to know
our friend
whom we don't want to lose
