Amigos Que Yo Quiero

Friends I Cherish
In life, we have a thousand things
that are grand, sublime, and beautiful,
that uplift and bring joy to the soul
encouraging our hearts.
But there’s a subtle and supreme one
that comes to us calm and serene,
it’s manhood and loyalty,
a feeling and kindness,
it’s sublime... it’s called friendship.
Friends I cherish
listen to this tango,
that carries in its notes
a handshake.
It was written with the soul
thinking of friendship,
I sing it with tears
for those who are no longer here.
Let’s raise our glasses
here in the old bar
because as long as there are friends
it makes you want to sing.
Life, if it’s a dark sentence,
with friends feels like a party,
without friends it’s not worth it
this life full of pain.
Friends, just like poets,
have deep secret tenderness,
let’s get closer to noble friendship
that fills us with faith and kindness.
Friends I cherish
listen to this tango,
that carries in its notes
a handshake.
It was written with the soul
thinking of friendship,
I sing it with tears
for those who are no longer here.
Let’s raise our glasses
here in the old bar
because as long as there are friends
it makes you want to sing.
