Amigo Mío

You arrived a long time agoLlegaste hace tiempo ya
You wanted everyone to hear youquerias que te oyeran todos
You were looking for the opportunitybuscabas la oportunidad
to showcase your art in a thousand waysde dar tu arte de mil modos

Your song began to be heardTu canto se empezó a escuchar
managing to cross borderslogrando transpasar fronteras
now everyone isahora todo el mundo va
singing what you desirecantando lo que tu deseas

My friendAmigo mio
on behalf of my people I amen nombre de mi pueblo estoy
thanking youagradeciendo
for gifting us with your voiceque nos regales de tu voz
and those songsy esas canciones
that allow us to get to knowque nos permiten conocer
our frienda nuestro amigo
whom we don't want to loseque no queremos ya perder

You sing about love and moreLe cantas al amor y más
to people who love you so mucha gente que te quiere tanto
your music has no endtu música no tiene fin
silencing you now would be a sincallarte ahora es un pecado

I can say littleEs poco lo que puedo decir
but you have given so muches mucho lo que tu has dado
and Mexico knows it welly México lo sabe bien
that's why you won't be forgottenpor eso no serás pasado.
