Mon ami de toujours [English translation]

You,

my friend always.

You smiled at me

and welcomed me

into your home.

You,

my friend always.

You protected me,

raised me.

But

to live by your side,

my love has grown

with me

day by day

like a tree

in the garden—

slowly.

You,

my friend always.

Forget the child

that I have been

for you.

You

my friend, my love,

open your eyes,

look at me.

Nothing

can not make me change

even if it is necessary to cry out

that I love you—

that I love you—

that I love you—

my friend,

my love forever.
