Canção da América
Elis Regina
Song of America
Friend is something to be kept
Under seven keys
Inside the heart
To be spoken in the song
That in America I heard
But whoever sings will cry
Seeing their friend leave
And those who stayed
In thought flew
With their song that the other remembered
And those who flew
In thought stayed
With the memory that the other sang
Friend is something to be kept
On the left side of the chest
Even if time and distance say no
Even forgetting the song
And what matters is to listen
To the voice that comes from the heart
For whatever may come
Come what may
Any day, friend, I'll come back
To find you
Any day, friend
We will meet
