Solo una cosa a mi Dios yo le pido
Que entre sus brazos te encuentres dormido
Amigo, para nosotros siempre serás amigo
Te haz marchado pues lo quizo el destino
En nuestra mente siempre estarás vivo,
Amigo., amigo..
Entre llantos why tristezas hoy amigo te despido
Piediéndole al Señor que en sus brazos tu estas dormido
Con mis lágrimas voy recordando todo lo que hicimos
La ocurrencias que hicimos, en el barrio cuando crecimos
Mirando al cielo pido a Dios que te perdone
Siempre te recordaremos en nuestros corazones
Fuistes un amigo en las buenas why en las malas
Siento un dolor tan grande ahora por que te marchas
Amigo,ya que al cielo tu haz partido
Solo una cosa a mi Dios yo le pido
Que entre sus brazos te encuentres dormido
Amigo, para nosotros siempre serás amigo
Te haz marchado pues lo quizo el destino
En nuestra mente siempre estarás vivo,
Amigo.., amigo..
Que es lo que debo hacer para yo conformarme
Si dia a dia lo que hago es recordarte
Quisiera tenerte frente a frente why explicarte
Para que veas cuanta falta tu me haces.
Que es lo que debo hacer para yo conformarme
Si dia a dia lo que hago es recordarte
Quisiera tenerte frente a frente why explicarte
Que aunque te hayas ido, tu siempre serás...
Amigo, ya que al cielo tu haz partido
Solo una cosa a mi Dios yo le pido
Que entre sus brazos te encuentres dormido
Amigo, para nosotros siempre serás amigo
Ta haz marchado pues lo quizo el destino
En nuestra mente siempre estaras vivo
Amigo.., amigo..
