Singing and girls
Many drinks and many nights
Such were our times
Such were our lives.
Futile teenagers to whom everything was allowed
Kings of cheap junk, down-and-out princes
It's been said that your friends are your only riches. [order changed for better flow. And it rhymes...]
Stormy times come
Before they were expected [lit: before one could predict them]
Impossible loves,
Defeats, ironies.
When everything crashes down,
When even our dreams flee,
There is only an island, a haven, a party* left
It's been said that your friends are your only riches.
It's been said...
But when everything lights up
When everything, at last, smiles on us
Glory, party, symphony
Bravos, jewels, frenzy
When I am overwhelmed by impostors and accusations of amnesia**
Fame and fortune,
What do I know of them now?
My friends are my only riches.
That's it...***
Fame and fortune,
What do I know of them now?
My friends are my only riches.
My friends...
That's it...
