Original lyrics
Los dos amigos
Amigo #1:
Un amigo puede darnos mucho, sin que ellos
esperen algo tuyo a cambio, pero nosotros
podemos darle mucho más de lo que ellos
nos entrega, sin esperar nada a cambio.
Amigo #2:
Un «amigo» puede dañarnos mucho, esperan
que tú le des más, y si piensas en pedirles
algún favor se ofenden y te miran mal,
le das tu mano y te arrancan el brazo.
De estos dos amigos puede decirse que:
Una verdadera amistad se forja con convivencia,
cultura, educación y una sana conversación.
Es un hermano que está contigo en toda situación,
aquel que recuerda las cosas sin sentir rencor.
Una «amistad» que se forman por conveniencia,
con mucha hipocresía y una amarga indiferencia
sólo buscan de ti como si fueras un simple favor,
y al mínimo golpe te atacan con gran persecución.
Entonces:
¿De cuál de los dos escoge ser usted?
Proverbios 18:24
“Hay amigos que llevan a la ruina, y hay amigos más fieles que un hermano.”1
Translation
Two Friends
Friend #1:
A friend can give us great things,
Without expecting any reward from you,
But, we can give you more things that they offers us,
Without expecting anything in return.
Friend #2:
A "friend" can hurt us, they expect
You give them more, and if you think of asking
Any help, they get offended and look at you bad,
Give somebody an inch and they'll take a mile.
Of these two friends can be said that:
"A true friendship is forged with conviviality,
Culture, education and a healthy conversation.
Is a big brother who is with you in every situation,
The One who remembers things without feeling resentment1.
A "friendship" who is form for convenience,
With much hypocrisy and a bitter indifference,
They search for benefits when they need a favor,
And if you make a mistake, they criticize you."
So:
Which of these two friends decides to be you?
Proverbs 18:24
"A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."2
