tu que me ayudas cada dia a levantarme,
tu que me haces esta vida soportable,
sa qua vas a sufrir, sa que vas a sufrir
Mi amante amigo,
mi hombre, mi arlequin, mi fiel juguete,
de todos mis amores confidente,
cuando en tus brazos yo te cuente lo pasado
Mi amante amigo,
me he enamorado como nunca te habia dicho
y ya no puedo compartir nada contigo,
perdoname, perdoname
Mi amante amigo,
mi viejo profesor de tantas cosas
tan bellas, tan distintas, tan hermosas,
perdoname, perdoname, mi loco amor
Mi amante amigo
tu que me has hecho ser feliz a cada instante,
tu que adivinas mis deseos sin hablarte,
se que vas a sufrir, se que vas a sufrir
cuando en tus brazos yo te cuente lo pasado
Mi amante amigo,
me he enamorado como nunca te habaa dicho
y ya no puedo compartir nada contigo,
perdoname, perdoname
Mi amante amigo,
mi viejo profesor de tantas cosas
tan bellas, tan distintas, tan hermosas,
perdoname, perdoname
Mi amante amigo,
