Amico è [English translation]

And the friend is

a straightforward person like you

who doesn’t preach

and doesn’t judge you,

between him and you, divided

in two the same soul.

However he knows,

the friend knows

the bitter taste of the truth

but he knows how to hide it

and to defend you

a true friend is also a liar.

And the friend is

something that the more there is the better it is,

it’s a silence that can become music

to be sung in a chorus, I with you.

And a chorus is

a cry that the more there is the better it is,

oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

and my love is inside you love.

And the friend is

the most decisive one of the group

and will convince you to not surrender

even at the times

that you’re chasing the impossible.

Because he has,

the friend has

the knowledge of life that you’re lacking,

pushes you to run,

let’s you win

because a friend is and that’s that.

And the friend is

something that the more there is the better it is,

it’s a silence that can become music

to be sung in a chorus, I with you.

And a chorus is

a cry that the more there is the better it is,

oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

and my love is inside you love.

And the friend is

one who is very jealous of you,

for every craziness of yours,

he turns them into a disease

so much that, at times, you feel like

sending him away.

He, however, no,

the friend, no,

I won’t lose him for anything in this world,

we will quarrel, yes

and he knows why

and yet he is my best friend.

And the friend is

something that the more there is the better it is,

it’s a silence that can become music

to be sung in a chorus, I with you.

And a chorus is

a cry that the more there is the better it is,

oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

and my love is inside you love,

and my love is inside you love.
