My
Friend * (Alejandro Sanz) My friend, I know you only live for him That he knows it too, but he can't see Like I do, how you beg my mouth to say That he's confessed to me over drinks That it's your skin he dreams with at night And that he goes crazy with each button You undo, thinking of his hands He hasn't seen you trembling, waiting For a word, a gesture, an embrace He can't see you sighing like I do With your eyes wide open Hearing me name you Oh, my friend! know it and so does he My friend, I don't know what to say Nor what to do to make you happy If only I had power over the soul or over freedom Which is what he needs To fill your pockets with wars that have been won With dreams and renewed hope I want to give you a poem You think I'm telling you the news My friend, if only one day hearing my song You suddenly understand that what I never wanted Was to tell your story Because it could turn out moving But I'm sorry, my friend It's not intelligence, nor is it wisdom This is my way of telling things It's not my job, it's my language My friend, princess of an infinite tale My friend, I only want you to count on me My friend, let's see if one of these days I at last learn to talk Without having to beat about the bush Because I worry about all this story Because you are my friend My friend, I know you only live for him That he knows it too, but he can't see Like I do, how you beg my mouth to say That he's confessed to me over drinks That it's your skin he dreams with at night... My friend, I don't know what to say Nor what to do to make you happy If only I had power over the soul or over freedom Which is what he needs To fill your pockets with wars that have been won With dreams and renewed hope I want to give you a poem You think I'm telling you the news My friend, princess of an infinite tale My friend, I only want you to count on me My friend, let's see if one of these days I at last learn to talk Without having to beat about the bush Because I worry about all this story Because you are my friend |
