Amigos para siempre
I've always loved this song, just that never did get the chance to find the lyrics because I never knew the title. And now that I've found it, here's the link to the actual site. Beautiful song. And please remember to read the endnote.
Sarah Brightman & José Carreras - Amigos para siempre
(Friends for life)
Sarah
I don't have to say
A word to you
You seem to know
Whatever mood
I'm going through
Feels as though
I've known you forever
José
You
Can look into my eyes and see
The way I feel
And how
The world is treating me
Maybe I have known you forever
both
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
Sarah
We share memories
I won't forget
And we'll share more,
My friend,
We haven't started yet
Something happens
When we're together
José
When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye
I'm alive when we are together
both
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
José
When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye
both
I'm alive when we are together
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
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
Amigos para siempre

Eh, nice song yes... but if you think about the it, they're saying 'Just Friends'... but what they're feeling... well maybe it's just me, but I usually associate those "Looking into my eyes and see how I feel/ Feeling you near me even when apart" thingy... with someone I love, ie my other half... Not a friend.

actually, I thought of that too... in the lyrics they sounded more than just friends... but to them, maybe it's possible that a guy and gal can share some intimacy and moments without being lovers...
but somehow, I think it's possible... to just share a friendship... that sometimes it's being mistaken as love

Hweelll... been there, done that.
I did (do?) have this really great close, best friend like that back in college... But still, not to the point of feeling him near me... or wondering why we had to say goodbye lo...
I'm not saying it's not possible... I mean, I'm all for friends whom I love, share moments and intimacy... but to the point like in the song? I think there's where the line between platonic and falling in love starts to blur.

well.... we're Asians after all. maybe the song was only meant for the West... hahaha
so who was that guy? still in contact with you?

I dunno about that East/West thing. Maybe you might have a point there, though I thought friendship and love wasn't a cultural thing.
Lol... it's an on-off thing... Since college, I would call him like once a year, talk for maybe 10 to 15 minutes and then that'd be it...
But recently I started seeing him more often online so yea... still in touch :)

maybe the words might be exaggerate a little, but I still think it's possible... just rare... or maybe our culture just couldn't accept such a thing.
