Flor de amigo

I was cornered in an abyss
Wrapped in grief, in abandonment and disenchantment,
When in a gesture of great companionship
You brought help and relief to my brokenness.
Since then I knew the charm
Of the great value of friendship,
And that is why this tango I sing it
For all true friends.
 
Brother...
It was so great what you have done,
I want to hold you to my chest
In a brotherly embrace.
Flower of a friend...
One of those that you don't miss
When the seagulls sing
Announcing the storm.
 
I know those friends who in life
They pat you and are treacherous souls,
Those who in the game hide the game from you
And throw you also the companion.
Who even if they have a full wallet
They see you dying and will not help you,
Those who have less soul than the wild beasts
Who even to the old woman, they are denying bread.
