Mi Amigo, Mi Padre

My Friend, My Father

Mi Amigo, Mi Padre

You give a kiss to my friendLe das un beso ami amigo
That's what my father saidAsi lo dijo mi padre
When he was dyingCuando se estaba muriendo
That's what he ordered my motherAsi le ordeno a mi madre
If they could see how much it hurts meSi vieran como me duele
Because he left without looking at mePor que se fue sin mirarme
When I arrived homeCando yegue yo a mi casa
I cried like a cowardLlore como los cobardes
Receiving that kissAl resivir aquel beso
From my mother's lipsDe los labios de mi madre
That my friend left meQue me dejeara mi amigo
The one who in life was my fatherQue el que en vida fue mi padre

My friend, the old man told meMi amigo me decia el viejo
Since I came to this worldDesde que vine a este mundo
He always carried meCon el siempre me cargaban
With deep affectionCon un cariño profundo
I will never have him againYa nunca podre tenerlo
He was the best in this worldFue lo mejor de este mundo

I went looking around the worldMe fui a vuscar por el mundo
For something I hadn't lostAlgo que no habia perdido
What good is money to meDe que me sirve el dinero
If I lost what I loved the mostSi perdi lo mas querido
Even if I had millionsAunque tena los millones
They won't bring back my friendNo reviven a mi amigo

My old man was my teacherMi viejo fue mi maestro
In the school of lifeEn la escuela de la vida
My friend gave me confidenceMe dio confianza mi amigo
How beautiful I feltQue bonito yo sentia
But I never lost the respectMas nunca perdi el respeto
That I had for my fatherQue a mi padre le tenia

My friend, the old man told meMi amigo me decia el viejo
Since I came to this worldDesde que vine a este mundo
He always carried meCon el siempre me cargaban
With deep affectionCon un cariño profundo
I will never have him againYa nunca podre tenerlo
He was the best in this worldFue lo mejor de este mundo
