Tengo Un Amigo

I have a friend
Who taught me to play around with my sorrows
Who taught me really good things
To make laurels out of my chains

To free myself from my sentences
Where there are thorns, see lilies

They’ve called him that for a long time
Since I met him
Time from there, time from here
Time of the man and the boy I used to be

I have a friend
Who taught me not to cry over the past
He’s a good friend, really, great
As he passes by, you learn more

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 him
To my friend, time

They’ve called him that for a long time
Since I met him
Time from there, time from here
Time of the man and the boy I used to be

I have a friend
Who taught me to play around with my sorrows
Who taught me really good things
To make laurels out 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 him
To my friend, time
