A)Amigo puede ser quien bien repara

En la musa o engendro que yo aporte

Amigo, sí, es también quien me soporte

Pero amigo mayor es quien me ampara

Pero amigo mayor es quien me ampara

A)No me cures, hermano, de delirio

De aullido, desmesura, o arrebato

Déjame arder en el amor ingrato

Let me burn in ungrateful love

O en la inefable luz de otro martirio

O en la inefable luz de otro martirio

B)Pero cuando haga daño, aunque inocente

But when I cause harm, even innocent

Corre hacia mi, blandiendo el pecho abierto

Come towards me, brandishing the open chest

Y descorre las nubes de mi mente

And unveil the clouds of my mind

Sé amigo manantial en mi desierto

Que yo sabré recompensar tu acierto

Con mayor amistad para la gente

Con mayor amistad...
