Amiga Mía en inglés – Alejandro Sanz

My friend, I know, you only live for him
And he knows it too, but he doesn’t see you
Like I do. I’m begging my mouth to say
What it has confessed between drinks
That it’s with your skin that I dream of at night
And I go crazy with every button that
you unbutton, thinking about your hands
He hasn’t seen you shivering, waiting
for a word, any gesture, a hug.
He doesn’t see you how I see you, sighing
With your little eyes wide open
Listen to me,
Oh my friend, I know it and so does he.

My friend, I don’t know what to say
I don’t know what to do to see you happy
I wish I could send in the soul, in the freedom
What it is that he’s missing
Fill your pockets with wars won
With dreams and hopes renewed
I want to give you the gift of poetry
You think I’m just giving the news

My friend, maybe one day listening to my song
Suddenly, you’ll understand that I never wanted
To sing your story
Because it’s stirring
But I’m sorry, my friend
It’s not intelligence, not even wisdom
This is my way of saying things
It’s not that it’s my job, it’s my language

My friend, princess of a never-ending story
My friend, I only try to have you confide in me
My friend, I’ll see if one of these days
I finally learn to speak
Without having so many detours
That all of this story is important to me
Because you’re my friend

My friend, I know, you only live for him
And he knows it too, but he doesn’t see you
Like I do. I’m begging my mouth to say
What it has confessed between drinks
That it’s with your skin that I dream of at night…

My friend, I don’t know what to say
I don’t know what to do to see you happy
I wish I could send in the soul, in the freedom
What it is that he’s missing
Fill your pockets with wars won
With dreams and hopes renewed
I want to give you the gift of poetry
You think I’m just giving the news

My friend, princess of a never-ending story
My friend, I only try to have you confide in me
My friend, I’ll see if one of these days
I finally learn to speak
Without having so many detours
That all of this story is important to me
Because you’re my friend
