Hoy te veo triste, qué problema hay
Today I see you sad, what's the problem?
Pienso que tendrás ganas de charlar
I think you might want to talk.
Yo te escucho sí
I'm here to listen, yes.
No tengo qué decir que en mí
I have nothing to say that in me,
Tienes un buen amigo
You have a good friend.
Piensa que no es nada momentáneo
Think that it's not just temporary.
Que mi ofrecimiento es espontáneo
That my offer is spontaneous.
Te acompañaré
I'll accompany you.
Si buscas una mano amiga
If you're looking for a helping hand,
Te puedo dar la mía
I can give you mine.
Así son los amigos, los buenos amigos
That's how friends are, the good friends
Sabes que esa chica no es la única
You know that girl isn't the only one
Que con mucha gente es estúpida
With so many people, she's just foolish
Cuántos como tú
How many like you
Sin dar la cara a la verdad
Without facing the truth
Se van a emborrachar
They will go get drunk
No pueden confiar
They can't trust
En un buen amigo
In a good friend
En un buen amigo
In a good friend
En nuestro mundo
In our world
Donde los viejos buenos valores pierden intensidad
Where the old good values lose their intensity
En donde todo tiene su precio
Where everything has its price
Donde una ayuda nadie nos va a dar
Where no one is going to give us a hand
Tú tenlo claro
You know it well
Basta un contacto, algo de afecto y un poco de humanidad
A simple contact, a bit of affection and a touch of humanity is enough
Y basta un gesto si los amores
And just a gesture if love
Son superiores a cada dificultad
Is greater than every difficulty
Acéptalo porque
Accept it because
Te lo digo con total sinceridad
I'm telling you with complete sincerity
Si a cualquiera das dinero a préstamo
If you lend money to anyone
Piensa que lo diste a los huérfanos
Think that you gave it to the orphans,
Y comprobarás lo amargo de la realidad,
And you'll check the bitterness of reality,
En mí no lo verás, confia en mí porque
In me, you won't see it, trust me because
Así son los amigos, los buenos amigos
That's how friends are, the good friends,
En nuestro mundo
In our world,
Donde los viejos buenos valores pierden intensidad,
Where the old good values lose their intensity,
En donde todo tiene su precio,
Where everything has its price,
Donde una ayuda nadie nos dará
Where help won’t be given to us by anyone,
Da seguridad
Gives security,
Saber que no estaremos solos nunca más, jamás
Knowing that we will never be alone again, never.
Cuando la tristeza y el desánimo
When sadness and discouragement
Me hagan parecer algo antipático,
Make me seem a bit unfriendly,
Sé que tú estarás,
I know that you will be there,
Yo sé que tú estarás aqui,
I know that you will be here,
Que tú me escucharás,
That you will listen to me,
Que tú me escucharás
That you will listen to me
Así son los amigos, los grandes amigos
That's how friends are, true friends
