A Friend of Mine 1

Un Amigo Mio 1

From my own hand I took him to my houseDe mi propia mano lo lleve a mi casa
And I told her he was a friend of mineY le dije a ella que era amigo mìo
And my wife always said there is a glassY mi mujer dijo siemprè hay una copa
For whoever calls my husband a friendPara quien a su amigo llama a mi marido

I was never surprised, not a guilty gestureNunca sorprendi,ni un jesto culpable
Nor a betraying voice, until I saw itNi voz traicionera,hasta que lo viera
With my own eyes, I didn't believe itCon mis propios ojos,no me lo creì

A friend of mine, whom I once took to the altarUn amigo mìo,a la que yo un dìa lleve hasta el altar
A friend of mine in my own house came to steal from meUna migo mìo en mi propia casa me vino a robar
I don't feel anger, but bitternessYo no siento ìra,sino la amargura
Of a chill, poisoning meDe un escàlofrio,quienes me envenenan
With dirty lies, with my own wifeDe sucias mentiras,con mi propia esposa
And a friend of mine.Y un amigo mìo.

To make him leave, I opened the doorPara que se fuera yo le abri la puerta
Go and don't even remember my nameVete y no te acuerdes ni de el nombre mìo
And I noticed on his face the guilty expressionY notè en su rostro la expreciòn culpable
Of one who trades gold for melted bronzeDe el que cambia oro por bronce fundido

Last night she saw him, with a pale face without bloodAnoche la vio,echa una paveta sin sangre en la cara
Why didn't she cry, I kept silent the phrase I was going to sayPorque no llorara,me calle la frase que le hiba a decir.
A friend of mine, whom I once took to the altarUn amigo mìo,a la que yo un dìa lleve hasta el altar

Of a chill, poisoning meDe un escàlofrio,quienes me envenenan
With dirty lies, with my own wifeDe sucias mentiras,con mi propia esposa
And a friend of mine.Y un amigo mìo.
