Amigo mío
My friend
Cómo has caído tan de golpe, deprimido
How you've fallen so suddenly, feeling down
Ella no vale
She isn't worth
Ni la mitad de lo que tú les has ofrecido
Even half of what you've offered them
Amigo mío
My friend
Yo te comprendo no he venido a censurarte
I understand you, I haven't come to judge you
Debe ser mucho
It must be a lot
Lo que la amas para que quieras matarte
How much you love her to want to end it all
Pero te entiendo
But I understand you
Claro que entiendo
Of course I understand
Es muy difícil, sintiendo celos
It's very difficult, feeling jealous
Dominarse
To control yourself
Amigo mío
My friend
Quiero ayudarte
I want to help you
La vida es bella
Life is beautiful
Luchá por ella
Fight for it
No desmayes
Don't give up
Amigo mío
My friend
Si ella se ha ido
If she has gone
Con más motivos
With more reasons
Piensa en tí mismo
Think of yourself
Aún no es tarde
It's not too late
Amigo mío
My friend
Llena tu mente de alegría y optimismo
Fill your mind with joy and optimism
Piensa en las cosas, en las cosas buenas
Think of the things, the good things
Que jamás has conocido
That you've never known
Amigo mío
My friend
Yo te comprendo no he venido a censurarte
I understand you, I haven't come to judge you
Debe ser mucho
It must be a lot
Lo que la amas para que quieras matarte
How much you love her to want to end it all
Pero te entiendo
But I understand you
Claro que entiendo
Of course I understand
Es muy difícil, sintiendo celos
It's very difficult, feeling jealous
Dominarse
To control yourself
Amigo mío
My friend
Quiero ayudarte
I want to help you
La vida es bella
Life is beautiful
Luchá por ella
Fight for it
No desmayes
Don't give up
Amigo mío
My friend
Si ella se ha ido
If she has gone
Con más motivos
With more reasons
Piensa en tí mismo
Think of yourself
Aún no es tarde
It's not too late
Amigo, amigo, amigo, cuenta conmigo como antes
Friend, friend, friend, count on me like before
Amigo, amigo, amigo, mejor es olvidarla
Friend, friend, friend, it's better to forget her
Amigo, amigo, amigo, cuenta conmigo como antes
Friend, friend, friend, count on me like before
