Translation of the song lyrics Amigo del Amigo - Voz de Mando

Amigo del Amigo (original)

Yo no abro la boca por abrirla
Y si me atrevo a cantar
Es porque el viejo lo merece
Es amigo y es de los que valen
La amistad cuando es sincera
Nunca genera intereses…
Quiero que también les quede claro
Que si le canto estos versos
No es porque lo haya pedido
Tampoco estoy para hacerles la barba
Usted sabe de lo que hablo
A mí me nació el corrido…
Los amigos son pa' presumirse
Es la frase que manejo
Y es que de verdad lo pienso…
Agradezco a dios que no ha faltado
Pa' comer y los consejos
Que recibí de mis viejos…
Vamos a atorarle pa' delante
Y aprovecho la ocasión
Para acordarme de un amigo…
Le mando un abrazo bien sincero
Y quiero que sepa que usted
Siempre va a contar conmigo
(Música)
Quiero alzar el vaso por mi compa
Porque la amistad es algo
Que se brinda y se celebra
El jinete está pidiendo puerta
Que se la habrán de una vez
Y que comience la fiesta…
Los amigos son pa' presumirse
Es la frase que manejo
Y es que de verdad lo pienso…
Agradezco a dios que no ha faltado
Pa' comer y los consejos
Que recibí de mis viejos…
Vamos a atorarle pa' delante
Y aprovecho la ocasión
Para acordarme de un amigo…
Le mando un abrazo bien sincero
Y quiero que sepa que usted
Siempre va a contar conmigo

(translation)

I do not open my mouth to open it
And if I dare to sing
It's because the old man deserves it
He is a friend and he is one of those who are worth
Friendship when it's sincere
It never earns interest...
I also want it to be clear
What if I sing these verses
It's not because I asked for it
I'm not here to make them beard
you know what i'm talking about
The corrido was born for me...
Friends are to show off
It is the phrase that I manage
And I really think so...
I thank God that it has not been lacking
Pa' to eat and advice
What I received from my old…
We are going to jam him forward
And I take the opportunity
To remember a friend...
I send you a very sincere hug
And I want you to know that you
You will always count on me
(Music)
I want to raise the glass for my compa
Because friendship is something
What is offered and celebrated
The rider is asking for a door
That they will have it once
And let the party begin...
Friends are to show off
It is the phrase that I manage
And I really think so...
I thank God that it has not been lacking
Pa' to eat and advice
What I received from my old…
We are going to jam him forward
And I take the opportunity
To remember a friend...
I send you a very sincere hug
And I want you to know that you
You will always count on me
