CORO: No se puede ser amigo de cualquiera,
no te apures para demostrar tu afecto,
la amistad es solamente duradera
cuando en ella lo primero es el respeto.

CORO: Cuando se pierde un amigo,
qué tristeza, qué dolor queda en el alma.

Cuando se pierde un amigo,
qué tristeza, qué dolor queda en el alma.

DÚO: Son gratos los recuerdos
que me dejó un viejo amigo.
El siempre me decía
que el mundo está lleno de ingratos.

envidiosos solapados
calculadores certeros,
y de malintencionados,
por eso él me aconsejaba.
CORO: Cuando tengas un buen amigo, cuídalo.
