Un amico è così [English translation]

It's easy to drift apart,

You know if like you he also has his troubles

But when you will need

It will be here a friend like that.

He will not ask nor "how" nor "why",

He will listen to you and protect you

And then he will smile to you calmly,

A friend is like that.

And remember till you'll live

If a friend is with you, you will not get lost

On wrong roads which are passed by someone

Who has a friend like that in his life.

He never needs words,

With only one look you'll understand

That after a while he will say you yes,

A friend is like that.

And remember till you'll want

You will always find him by your side

Close to you, never tired because

A friend is the best thing that ever exists.

It's like a great love, only a bit hidden

But it feels that there are

Hidden folds of a heart which gives itself

And doesn't ask why.

But remember till you'll live

If a friend is with you, never betray him,

You will only find out that

A friend is the best thing that ever exists.

And remember till you'll live

A friend is the truest thing you have

It's a companion of the biggest journey you do,

A friend is something what never dies.
