選自 莎拉布萊曼/安德烈洛伊韋伯名作特選
~~Sarah Brightman/Andrew Lloyd Webber collection

就算你不聽音樂劇，想必也一定知道安德烈洛伊韋伯。如果您也注意流行音樂，那你一定對Sarah Brightman高亢的女聲感到好奇，是何等的歷練讓她的聲音如此完美。

 但如果將這兩位組合在一起，您將讚嘆天籟就是如此天成的完美。即使他倆的婚姻只維持了六年，但離婚以後仍然繼續合作，甚至洛伊韋伯應邀為巴塞隆納奧運會譜寫的主題曲「一生的朋友」(Amigos Para Siempre)也依然由她與卡瑞拉斯(Jose Carreras)擔任主唱，傳為一段佳話。

記得以前第一次聽的時候是聽費翔唱的。

覺得他的歌詞寫的很好，但永遠的朋友似乎有點可遇不可求............
 if you are lucky to have one, it's best to cherish him/her.

而對彼此互相的了解程度越深才能像歌詞所寫的這樣吧，心靈相通之類的感覺，可以達到如此境界的朋友，就可以算是英文所謂的 Bosom Friends了吧。

看過一個推理，認為朋友交往的模式: stranger -> friend -> couple，是因為朋友一定必須要先彼此了解，知道對方在想什麼，喜歡什麼，長久溝通和相處......最後才會有默契，心靈才能相通，這就是所謂的循序漸近法則吧....。

Amigos para siempre 是西班牙語，英文 = Friends for always，中文=永恆的友誼 (永遠的朋友)，好玩拼著讀，好像是這麼唸的: ㄚˇ ㄇㄧ GㄛS˙ - ㄅㄚˇ ㄌㄚ˙ - ㄙㄧㄝM ㄅㄌㄝˇ

     ~~我討厭紛爭，希望我們能是永遠的朋友~~

Sarah                                                        
I don't have to say
A word to you
You seem to know
Whatever mood
I'm going through
Feels as though
I've known you forever

José                                                        
You
Can look into my eyes and see
The way I feel
And how
The world is treating me
Maybe I have known you forever

Both                                                     
Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

Sarah                                              
We share memories
I won't forget
And we'll share more,
My friend,
We haven't started yet
Something happens
When we're together

José                                                
When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye
I'm alive when we are together

Both                                            
Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

José                                               
When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye

Both                                               
I'm alive when we are together
Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

Amigos para siempre
Means you'll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre
Amigos para siempre
