a long time ago
in the middle of the sand
i saw him,smiling at me
i came close to see

we talked together
by the sandy way
and i asked him gladly:
please be my friend for a day

we were strangers yesterday
will be strangers tomorrow
but today we're best friends
without doubts or sorrow

we slided downhills
climbing back and fighting fire
a glorious afternoon
we never got tired

the afternoon became night
the field ran out of light
the day was over
our friendship ended too

but in the mind of the naive
and in the heart of the clever
that glorious day
will live forever

We were just friends for a day
