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。
