Canção da América
Milton Nascimento
Song of America
Friend is something to be kept
Under seven keys
Inside the heart
That's how the song spoke that I heard in America
But the one who sang cried
Seeing their friend leave
But the one who stayed, in thought flew
With their song that reminded the other
And the one 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
What matters is to listen
To the voice that comes from the heart
For whatever may come (whatever may come)
Come what may (come what may)
Any day, friend, I'll come back to find you
Any day, friend, we will meet
Whatever may come (whatever may come)
Come what may (come what may)
Any day, friend, I'll come back to find you
Any day, friend, we will meet
