Goodbye Friend
Dear friend, how can I repay
That even in jail you came to visit me
Don't worry, as long as I can, I will always come
You are my friend above all, without interest.
My friend, I always remember
When we came together to the north to work
And we promised we would return together
It couldn't be done against destiny
What can I do.
Dear friend, only you know my situation
I am for life behind the bars of this prison
It's pointless for the world to know why I fell
It wasn't for being good, dear friend, that I'm here
Tomorrow I leave, going back to our country
Tell me what you want to say to your parents.
Tell my parents that I have them
In my heart
But don't tell them that I am captive
In this prison
Tell them that before they know it
I will go
That lie might help them live
With the hope that the absent son
Will return one day
My parents would die if one day
They know the truth.
Goodbye friend, when I return I will come to see you
It hurts me so much that we couldn't
Return together.
Don't forget that I only rely
On your friendship
Dear friend, God willing
You will come back soon.
