Por Un Amigo Hasta El Alma

For a friend to the soul
I’d stake my all if I have to
And in the shared wine, I’ll walk along
Singing the song of my fate
And I’ll make my guitar sway
So it sings along with me

We gift each other our lives
And share the years we’ve got
For a friend, time holds the age
That’s left of its charm
As long as his loneliness fills a glass
This song will echo in my heart

Friend, brother of dreams
The mouth of my guitar
Is thirsty for love
Give me the flower of your desires
Give me your wine poncho and your heart
To uncork my nostalgia

For friendship to the soul
I’ll stake my claim against forgetfulness
The strings of my guitar will reach me
To sing my heartbeats
Life always lends me a higher tone
To sing for a friend

The best wine, they say, is the wine shared
It doesn’t matter how, when, or where
I’ll steal from fate
The time I need to die
I embrace a loved one
