Yo tengo una amiga

I have a friendyo tengo una amiga
who spends the days aloneque pasa los dias a solas
she tells me she counts the hoursme dice que cuenta las horas
without despairsin desesperar
who accepts the space she occupiesque acepta el espacio que ocupa
without glory or shamesin pena ni gloria
she doesn't want to invade territoriesno quiere invadir territorios que puedan
that could change the storyla historia cambiar

I have a friendyo tengo una amiga
who waits calmly and ardentlyque espera serena y ardiente
who hides within four wallsque esconde entre cuatro paredes
her own painsu propio dolor
who takes care of what little she hasque cuida lo poco que tiene
with all her mightcon uñas y dientes
may no one dare to stealque nadie se atreva a rovarle
a single minute of loveun solo minuto de amor

I have a friendyo tengo una amiga
who listens to my stepsque escucha mis pasos
and runs out with a smiley sale corriendo con una sonrisa
on her lipsprendida en los labios
I have a friendyo tengo una amiga
who when I hug herque cuando la abrazo
turns as fragilese vuelve tan fragil
as a dovecomo una paloma
and ends up tremblingy acaba temblando

I have a friendyo tengo una amiga

who thinks nothing has changedque piensa que nada ha cambiado
and doesn't know that so much distancey no sabe que tanta distancia
has made me thinkme ha puesto a pensar
she's unaware that night after nightignora que noche tras noche
I've been dreaming of herla he estado soñando
that I feel the same as herque siento lo mismo que ella
and nothing will separate usy nada nos va a separar
