Regina Elis
Elis Por Ela
Cancao Da América
A friend is something to keep
Under lock and key
Inside the heart
Thus she spoke the song that I heard in America
But whoever sang it cried
When he saw his friend leave
But whoever remained in his thoughts flew away
With his song that the other remembered
And whoever flew in thought was left
With the memory that the other sang
A friend is something to keep
On the left side of the chest
Even if time and distance
Say no
Even if you forget the song
And what matters is listening
The voice that comes from the heart
For whatever comes
Come the whatever comes
Any day, friend, I'll meet you again
Any day, friend, we'll meet
