Solo una cosa a mi Dios yo le pido
Que entre sus brazos te encuentres dormido
Amigo, para nosotros siempre serás amigo
Te has marchado pues lo quiso el destino
En nuestra mente siempre estarás vivo
Amigo, amigo
Entre llantos y tristezas hoy amigo te despido
Pidiéndole al Señor que en sus brazos tú estés dormido
Con mis lágrimas voy recordando todo lo que hicimo'
La ocurrencias que hicimo', en el barrio cuando crecimo'
Mirando al cielo pido a Dios que te perdone
Siempre te recordaremos en nuestros corazone'
Fuiste un amigo en las buena' y en las mala'
Siento un dolor tan grande ahora por que te marcha'
Amigo, ya que al cielo tu has partido
Solo una cosa a mi Dios yo le pido
Que entre sus brazos te encuentres dormido
Amigo, para nosotros siempre serás amigo
Te has marchado pues lo quiso el destino
En nuestra mente siempre estarás vivo
Amigo, amigo
¿Que es lo que debo hacer para yo conformarme
Si día a día lo que hago es recordarte?
Quisiera tenerte frente a frente y explicarte
Para que veas cuanta falta tú me haces
¿Que es lo que debo hacer para yo conformarme
Si día a día lo que hago es recordarte?
Quisiera tenerte frente a frente y explicarte
Que aunque te hayas ido, tú siempre serás
Amigo, ya que al cielo tu has partido
Solo una cosa a mi Dios yo le pido
Que entre sus brazos te encuentres dormido
Amigo, para nosotros siempre serás amigo
Te has marchado pues lo quiso el destino
En nuestra mente siempre estarás vivo
