No Me Pidas Ser Tu Amigo
Fernando Delgadillo
Don't Ask Me to Be Your Friend
Today you seek in me a friend
Who does a little so you can achieve what you long for
I would be a friend if I supported you against everything else
To a friend, your happiness would make them happy
Even if it took you far away
And you went beyond where I could
Have accompanied you
Don't ask me to be your friend because there are things in me that I don't understand today
For example, that I can't be that someone
Who thinks about understanding
And this alone would give me peace
If at the same time you understood me
This evening that makes me hold you tight
When you say goodbye
A friend would tell you that everything is going well while
Biting their lips
And for you, they wouldn't miss every end of the year
The days that won't come back
A friend would stop talking about things they know you'll miss
To talk to you about what lies ahead even if I stay behind
I know I was always the one with you at every
Moment of your life
Someone who gave everything
Without even asking for the truth
You always had this accomplice who came without you needing them
Because they saw the world through your eyes and they wanted to look at me
Don't ask me to be your friend when you let me know you're leaving
I'm not so civilized to
Understand knowing you're going
For you, I'll be the one who loses everything today because I didn't know how to listen to you
That for me, I'll only be a stranger at peace who never stopped loving you
That for me, I'll only be a stranger at peace who never stopped loving you
