Son Amigos

They're Friends

Son Amigos

They're friends, you seeSon amigos, mire usted
Wasting timePerdiendo el tiempo
What foolishnessQue insensatez
It's something that sometimesEs algo que a veces
People don't understandNo entiende la gente
Such good friendsTan buenos amigos
In the twentieth centuryEn el siglo veinte

One, with an artistic veinEl uno, con vena de artista
Is a surrealist painterEs pintor surrealista
But it's been two yearsPero hace dos años
Since he painted a pictureQue no pinta un cuadro
Just movie postersSolo carteleras
For a bad cinemaDe un cine malo
The other, has taken a different pathEl otro, se ha puesto otro techo
Studying lawEstudia derecho
And it's not that he's clumsyY no es que sea torpe
But he doesn't lift a fingerPero no da golpe
There's nothing to doNo hay nada que hacer
He doesn't care about failingNo le importa suspender
(chorus)(estribillo)

One, tells his girlfriendEl uno, le cuenta a su novia
Work overwhelms meEl trabajo me agobia
And I have to stayY he de quedarme
At home painting...En mi casa pintando...
What he actually does is stayLo que hace es quedar
And leave in a hurryY salir pitando
The other, asks his fatherEl otro, le pide a su padre
To send moneyQue mande dinero
Laws are changingQue cambian las leyes
New books are coming outSalen libros nuevos
And they spend everything between him and his friendY todo lo gastan entre su amigo y el
(chorus)(estribillo)

One, is a bit bohemianEl uno, es un poco bohemio
Normal in his tradeNormal en su gremio
He swaps KandinskyTe cambia a kandinski
For a couple of whiskeysPor un par de wiskyes
And Miró himselfY al propio miró
For a rum on the rocksPor un ron con hielo
The other, is more of a gourmetEl otro, es mas bien sibarita
But that doesn't stop himPero eso no evita
From wine and flamencoQue vino y flamenco
Keeping him awakeLe quiten el sueño
Sleep, who cares!!Dormir, que mas dá!!
They're true friendsSon amigos de verdad
True friendsAmigos de verdad
True friends..Amigos de verdad..
