Amigo

My friend, it's so good to find you here in this place
Because I have a million things to tell you
But there's too little time to tell you, my friend

It all started like this
Lost in the forest of this life, I found myself
And the beasts of the forest looked at me with disdain, my friend
Running, fleeing, trembling, falling
Groaning a death cry, then I saw

From a high mountain a saint was extending his hands to me
Who would that glorious being be?
Whose presence did not give off the sunlight
And the dawn brought new life all around
Whose peace invaded my being

It was Jesus, my friend, who saved me from danger
He pulled me out of the deadly mire of mud
And from the face, a disguise of an evil man
He washed me, he clothed me in silver robes
On my finger he placed a ring, a sign of heir and son, a friend

Friend!
Lalalaiá, laiá, lalalaiá (friend!)
Lalalaiá, laiá, lalalaiá

Now I am happy, now I have peace, my friend!
