Be a friend. You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.
作为一个朋友，你不需要金钱财产；
只要你有着性情上的温暖阳光；
只要你有于乐于助人愿望。
要以各种方式与人融洽相处；
只是需要你伸出体贴温柔的臂膀。
对于那些寡朋少友的人们，
仅仅需要你有赠与和借出的愿望。
这种愿望会使你成为某些人的知心友朋。
Be a friend. You don't need glory.
Friendship is a simple story.
Pass by trifling errors blindly,
Gaze on honest effort kindly,
Cheer the youth who's bravely trying,
Pity him who's sadly sighing;
Just a little labor spend
On the duties of a friend.
作为一个朋友，你不需要荣誉和赞扬。
友谊只是一个简单朴实的过程，
放过因轻率所犯下的微小差错。
亲切地注意切切实实所尽的力量。
愉快地欢迎年轻人勇敢的尝试，
同情怜悯某些人哀伤的悲叹。
为了尽朋友应该负起的责任，
苦口婆心把工夫花在他们身上。
Be a friend. The pay is bigger
(Though not written by a figure)
Than is earned by people clever
In what's merely self-endeavor.
You'll have friends instead of neighbors
For the profits of your labors;
You'll be richer in the end
Than a prince, if you're a friend.
作为一个朋友，赋给要多于他们从
更聪明人那里所取得的补偿。
在那只有自我奋斗的地方，
有了朋友就可以替代左邻右坊。
由于你所花功夫所获得的好处，
最终你将成为更富有的人在这世界上。
比得过当上王子，假如作为一个朋友你称得上。
