Un amico è così [English translation]

It's easy to distance yourself you know

And just like you, he also has his problems

BUt when you have the need, he will be there

A friend is like that.

He'll never ask you how or ask you why

He listens to you and will fight for you

And slowly you will start to smile

A friend is like that

And remember for as long as you live

That you've got a friend you will never loose

In wrong streets crossed by whoever

Doesn't have a friend like that in their life.

He never needs any words

With one look alone he understands you

After a No he will tell you yes

A friend is like that.

And remember for as long as you'd like

To have him by your side, you'll find him there

Next to you and never too tired because

A friend is the most beautiful thing that there is.

And like a great love, only a bit reformed

But you feel that he's there

Hidden between the folds of a heart that gives itself

And doesn't ask you why

But remember for as long as you live

Never to betray a friend

Only this way you will discover

A friend is the most beautiful thing that there is

And remember for as long as you live

A friend is the most real thing you will ever have

He's the greatest companion you'll have on your journey

A friend is the thing that will never die.
