Traducción de la letra de la canción You Never Were My Friend - Thelma Houston

You Never Were My Friend (original)

When I needed someone to hold me
Your arms were open wide
And there was nothing that you wouldn’t do
To keep me satisfied
But when it came to conversation
You turned the other way
We were so close, when the light went out
But we were strangers every day
Oh, you never did give all of you
And what you gave was just pretend
Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend
Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend
No, no no, baby…
It’s so disappointing
When I look at you and see
All the things I thought you were
Are things you’ll never be
So once again, illusion
Slowly fades my view
While I leave behind another dream
And that’s always so hard to do
Oh, you never did give all of you
And what you gave was just pretend
Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend
Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend
You ain’t never tried to be my friend, no…
Yeah…
And you never did give all of you
And what you gave was just pretend
Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend
Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend
(Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend)
You ain’t never tried to be my friend
(Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend)
Oo-wee, baby, I know it!
(Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend)
Mm, baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend
Baby it’s true, you were my lover
But you never were my friend
Baby it’s true, you were my lover…

(traducción)

Cuando necesitaba que alguien me abrazara
Tus brazos estaban abiertos de par en par
Y no había nada que no harías
Para mantenerme satisfecho
Pero cuando se trataba de una conversación
Te volviste hacia el otro lado
Estábamos tan cerca, cuando la luz se apagó
Pero éramos extraños todos los días
Oh, nunca diste todo de ti
Y lo que diste fue solo fingir
Cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo
Cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo
No, no, no, cariño...
es tan decepcionante
Cuando te miro y veo
Todas las cosas que pensé que eras
Son cosas que nunca serás
Así que una vez más, ilusión
Lentamente se desvanece mi vista
Mientras dejo atrás otro sueño
Y eso siempre es tan difícil de hacer
Oh, nunca diste todo de ti
Y lo que diste fue solo fingir
Cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo
Cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo
Nunca has intentado ser mi amigo, no...
Sí…
Y nunca diste todo de ti
Y lo que diste fue solo fingir
Cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo
Cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo
(Bebé es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo)
Nunca has intentado ser mi amigo
(Bebé es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo)
Oo-wee, bebé, ¡lo sé!
(Bebé es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo)
Mm, cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo
Cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante
Pero nunca fuiste mi amigo
Cariño, es verdad, eras mi amante...
