Tengo Un Amigo

I have a friend
That has taught me to play with my sorrows
That has taught me very good things
Make laurels of my chains
To free myself from my sentences
Where there are thistles, see lilies

They have been calling him that for a long time
Since I met him
Time there, time here
Time of the man and the child that I was

I have a friend
That has taught me not to cry about the past
He is a good friend, really great
As he passes, one more learns

I greet him in front of the mirror
With my wrinkles, as a tribute to my old friend
And here I steal, I steal time from this time
To sing to my friend the time

They have been calling him that for a long time
Since I met him
Time there, time here
Time of the man and the child that I was

I have a friend
That has taught me to play with my sorrows
That has taught me very good things
Make laurels of my chains

I greet him in front of the mirror
With my wrinkles, as a tribute to my old friend
And here I steal, I steal time from this time
To sing to my friend the time
