Tu sei il mio amico carissimo [English translation]

Because the competitiveness which is inside us

would not become selfishness or divide ever

every moment we defend our loyalty

I'm sure - I believe - and it will be this way

Many dangers and many jealousies

anger, impatience, small obsessions

I'll tell you to go to hell and same you will do

but then we will be even more friends

a little higher, a cut above

You are my dearest friend

never betray me

no money, no women, no politics

will ever divide us

you are my dear friend

never betray me ...

Unabated opponent fans now

maybe enemies for one evening and then

sure that when an emergency will come

each of us will give his help

The obstacles are fruitful insanities

and discussions without ever lying

I'll tell you to go to hell

and same you will do

but then we will be even more friends

a little higher, a cut above

You are my dearest friend

never betray me

no money, no women, no politics

will ever divide us

you are my dear friend

never betray me ...
