He's A Friend
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really mean to be different. There's just so much I want to know. I wonder if the little girl who wrote to me feels the same way?
Sebastian:
Ariel, why the long face? *gasp* You've been thinking about humans again, haven't you? Cheer up, girl! Listen to your old friend, Sebastian. At the ball tonight when the music starts to play, you'll forget all your troubles.
Ariel:
*sigh* I'll try, Sebastian.
Sebastian:
You do that!
Ariel:
How can this little fellow be so wise
Living under the sea?
How can he know about the great big world
And make it so plain to me?
I must admit, he's a funny sight
But he's the one who makes everything right
He's a friend
Someone to love and trust 'til the end (he's a friend)
Sebastian:
Aww girl, I'll always be there for you!
Ariel:
He's a friend
What an upper crustacean (he's a friend)
Sebastian:
Ah! I like that! But if your father knew you were dreaming about the surface again, you know who'd be in trouble? Me, that's who!
Ariel:
When I'm sinkin' in a sea of doubt
About to throw it all away
Here he comes, and pulls me out
He always knows just what to say
I must admit his point of view
Is kind of hard, but he always comes through
He's a friend
Someone to love and trust 'til the end (he's a friend)
Sebastian:
That's me, girl!
Ariel:
He's a friend
What an upper crustacean (he's a friend)
Sebastian:
Listen Ariel, your father gets mad at you 'cause he loves you so much. He's afraid you're gonna get hurt out there in that big ocean. You see the human world, is a mess. I know, I travelled all over the place!
Ariel:
He's been around for a long long time
And travelled so far away
So now he knows just how to live each day
He's a friend
Someone to love and trust 'til the end (he's a friend)
Sebastian:
You got that right!
Ariel:
He's a friend
What an upper crustacean (he's a friend)
He's a friend
Sebastian:
Upper crustacean! I like that! Oh, c'mon now, Ariel, it's time for the mermaid's ball. Oh, you gonna have the best time you ever had in your whole life, girl! Now, let me see a smile lighting up that pretty face of yours. That's it!
In this song from The Little Mermaid, Ariel is feeling down because she is longing to explore the world above the sea. Sebastian, her crab friend, tries to cheer her up by reminding her of the upcoming mermaid ball. Ariel wonders how Sebastian, a creature living under the sea, knows so much about the world above. She admits that he’s a funny sight, but he always knows just what to say to make things better. Sebastian reassures Ariel that he will always be there for her, and that he understands why her father is so overprotective. The song ends with Ariel feeling uplifted, looking forward to the ball and grateful for her wonderful friend.
The song highlights several themes that are present throughout The Little Mermaid, including friendship, curiosity, and the pull of the unknown.

Você tem um amigo em mim!
Você tem um amigo em mim!
Quando a estrada em frente parece difícil
E você está a milhas e milhas da sua cama boa e quentinha
Lembre-se do que seu velho camarada disse
Garoto, você tem um amigo em mim!
Sim, você tem um amigo em mim!
Você tem um amigo em mim!
Você tem um amigo em mim!
Você tem problemas, eu também
Não há nada que eu não faria por você
Se continuarmos juntos, podemos atravessar tudo
Porque você tem um amigo em mim!
Sim, você tem um amigo em mim!
Agora, outras pessoa podem
Ser um pouco mais espertos do que eu
Maiores e mais fortes também, talvez
Mas nenhum deles nunca vai te amar do mesmo jeito que eu
Só eu e você, garoto!
E com o passar dos anos
Nossa amizade nunca vai morrer
Você vai ver, é o nosso destino
Você tem um amigo em mim!
Você tem um amigo em mim!
Sim, você tem um amigo em mim!

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, and I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too, maybe
But none of them will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you, boy
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see, it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

I'm sad to see Woody and Buzz go, but I'm glad that I got to grow up with them; this was my favorite childhood movie.
Buzz: to infinity...
Woody: and beyond.
So long, partner.
