A word to you
You seem to know
Whatever mood
I'm going through
Feels as though
I've known you forever
Can look into my eyes and see
The way I feel
And how
The world is treating me
Maybe I have known you forever
Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre
I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre
We share memories
I won't forget
And we'll share more

There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye
I'm alive when we are together

Amigos para siempre
The song "Amigos Para Siempre" by Sarah Brightman is a touching tribute to a deep and enduring friendship. The lyrics express the close bond shared between two people who seem to understand each other instinctively without even needing to speak. They explore the idea that true friendship transcends time and distance, bringing a warmth and comfort that can never be extinguished. The title itself, "Amigos Para Siempre", translates as "Friends Forever", and this sentiment is repeated throughout the song.
The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer speaks of her friend's ability to read her emotions and understand her without any need for explanation. She also notes that the feeling of familiarity between them is so strong that it feels like they have known each other forever. As the singer goes on to describe the way she feels when she is with her friend, the song becomes a celebration of the enduring nature of true friendship. The chorus reinforces this message, emphasizing that their connection goes beyond simply spending time together during a particular season of life. Instead, they will remain friends for life, no matter what the future may hold.
The second verse describes the warm feeling that comes from remembering shared experiences with a close friend. Even when they are not physically together, the singer feels close to her friend because of the memories they have created together. The verse ends on a wistful note, however, as the singer acknowledges that there will eventually come a time when they must say goodbye. Nevertheless, the final repetition of the chorus underscores the idea that their friendship will endure despite any physical separation. The song ends with the title phrase repeated several times, driving home the message of the song that true friends are forever.
