Amigo

Friend

Amigo

He was always a dreamer, even as a childDesde niño siempre fue un soñador
Fugitive in marginalizationFugitivo en la marginación
Struck by realityGolpeado por la realidad
Try to be happyTrata de ser feliz

His parents don't understand him very wellSus padres no le entienden muy bien
His friends still trust himSus amigos aun confían en él
And the black wings of repressionY las negras alas de la represión
They make him doubtLe hacen dudar

Friend, I am like youAmigo yo soy como tu
Friend, and I speak to you with loveAmigo y te hablo con amor
Friend, don't forget the flowersAmigo no olvides que las flores
They are born in the mudNacen en el fango
I am like youYo soy como tu

They tried to control you when you were a kidTe quisieron controlar de chaval
And they tried to make you imposeY trataron de hacerte imponer
Its principles and its conditionSus principios y su condición
Of hypocrisyDe hipocresía

The miseries they offer you todayLas miserias que te ofrecen hoy
They fail to interest youNo te logran interesar
And even if they say you're crazyY aunque digan que estás loco
How strange it is to be normalQue extraño es ser normal

They forced him to compete in sadLe obligaron a competir en triste
Fake raceCarrera falsa
He's not trying to be better than anyone elseEl no trata de ser más que nadie
He just wants to be betterSolo quiere ser mejor

Underground in the darkSubterráneo en la oscuridad
Hope barely survivesLa esperanza subsiste con dificultad
Immersed in societySumergido en la sociedad
Try to be happyTrata de ser feliz

Friend, I am like youAmigo yo soy como tu
Friend, I speak with loveAmigo yo hablo con amor
Friend, don't forget the flowersAmigo no olvides que las flores
They are born in the mudNacen en el fango
I am like youYo soy como tu
