Amigo Mayor
Silvio Rodriguez
Elder Friend
A)A friend can be someone who truly appreciates
The muse or creation that I bring
A friend, yes, is also someone who supports me
But an elder friend is the one who protects me
But an elder friend is the one who protects me
A)Don't cure me, brother, of delirium
Of howling, excess, or outburst
Let me burn in unrequited love
Or in the ineffable light of another martyrdom
Or in the ineffable light of another martyrdom
B)But when I cause harm, even if innocent
Run towards me, brandishing your open chest
And clear the clouds from my mind
Be a spring friend in my desert
I will know how to reward your correctness
With greater friendship for people
With greater friendship...
Yes!...
But when I cause harm (...)
...for the peeeeeeeeeeeeeople
