Necesito Un Amigo
Antonello Venditti
I Need a Friend
Being with you is like playing a game,
Today you won, and the rest was my life.
But if I think love means giving yourself completely,
In this story of ours, I’ve put in everything.
I need a friend who will listen so I can forget.
I need a friend, a buddy for my troubles.
I need a friend who’s always by my side.
I need a witness to my pain and my tears.
Love, illogical love, desperate love,
You see, I’m crying, but I’ve already forgiven you.
If your love is empty, if my love doesn’t disarm you,
On this cold night, I just need one word.
I need a friend who will listen so I can forget you.
I need a friend, a buddy for my troubles.
I need a friend who will lend me a hand.
I need a witness to my pain and my tears.
I need a friend who will listen so I can forget.
I need a friend who understands that I feel bad.
I need a friend who’s always by my side.
I need a witness to my pain and my tears.
Living with you is losing the game;
The game has been tough, but that’s just life.
But maybe tonight will be magical, perhaps my emotions,
I’m standing alone at your door, lost in illusions.
I need a friend who will listen so I can forget you.
I need a friend, a buddy for my troubles.
I need a friend who will lend me a hand.
I need a witness to my pain and my tears.
I need a friend.
