9. Dear Friend
English translation

No bisami nada, keda ketu, un ratu mas
Ti’ un multitut di palabra, ku mi no por tene atras
Ma ’na mi un momentu, mi kurashi no ta kla
Mi ta yen di miedu, i bo n’ sa, bo no sa, bo no sa, bo n’ sa

Nos ta amigu, fo’i na chikitu
Tur kos ku a pasa den mi bida, abo sa
Ma mi ti’ un sekreto
Ku ainda mi n’ kontabu
Un sintimentu nobo ku tin mi brua

Ya pa basta tempu p’ami kos no ta meskos
Ti’un kambio grandi ku a krea, un distansha entre nos dos
No, no yega serka si bo ke mi kontinuá
Mi no ke perdebu ma bo n’ sa, bo n’ sa, bo no sa, bo no sa, bo n’ sa

Nos ta amigu, fo’i na chikitu
Tur kos ku a pasa den mi bida, abo sa
Ma mi tin un sekreto
Ku ainda mi n’ kontabu
Un sintimentu nobo ku tin mi brua

Mi ke konfesábu
Mi ke pa bo sa
Ku mi ta stimabu
Dushi, no rabia

Fo’i na chikitu, bo ta mi amigu
Henter e historia di mi bida, abo sa
I mi n’ ke gañabu
Mi ta stimabu
T’un sintimentu nobo ku tin mi brua
I mi ke pa bo sa
Mi ke pa bo sa

No bisami nada, keda ketu shhh… djis un ratu mas


Don’t say anything, keep quiet, just a bit longer
There is an avalanche of words that I can’t keep to myself anymore
But give me just one moment, my courage is not in place
I am so scared, and you don’t know…

We’ve been friends since our childhood
You know everything that’s happened in my life
But I have a secret
That I haven’t shared with you yet
A new emotion that has me confused

For some time now, things are not the same
A big change created some distance between us
No, don’t come close if you want me to go on
I don’t want to lose you but you don’t know…

We’ve been friends since our childhood
You know everything that’s happened in my life
But I have a secret
That I haven’t shared with you yet
A new emotion that has me confused

I want to confess
I want you to know
That I love you
Dear friend, don’t be mad

Since our childhood, you’ve been my friend
You know the story of my life
And I don’t want to lie to you
But I love you
A it’s new emotion that has me confused
And I want you to know
I want you to know

Don’t say anything, shhh keep quiet… just a tiny bit longer
