Analysis of Song "My Friend"

Justina Sviatodukhova 1978 (Sumy region)



1. My Friend is very special,
He is the best for me,
He knows all my secrets
and likes to be with me.
He never lets me down
and keeps my spirits up...
I’m making Him a valentine
with love, in shape of heart!

Refrain:
I like my Friend  because I never feel alone,
He’s always here, with me, in happiness and sorrow.
I like my Friend – in winter you feel like in spring...
I like my Friend for being with me and sharing everything!

2. He is the best adviser,
He knows the way to help
and sun is shining brightly
when He supports my way.
I’m really very thankful,
we’ll never be apart
and everything is bright with You
when You are in my heart.

3. My life with You is senseful,
it’s full of love and care
and You are very helpful:
no one but You are there
for me to give the forces,
for me to help me fight.
My love to You will never end
we’ll always be as one!
