"Amico" is a song by Julio Iglesias that tells the story of a man who has an affair with his friend's lover. The song's lyrics convey the narrator's feelings of guilt and shame for betraying his friend. The affair begins when the narrator accompanies his friend's lover back to her house and spends the night with her. From then on, he is unable to sleep, consumed by the guilt of what he has done. The song's chorus is about the power of love and its ability to bring people together, regardless of the consequences. The narrator acknowledges the pain he has caused his friend, but he also knows that he cannot resist the pull of love. The relationship with the woman is portrayed as a battle between the two men, with the woman holding their hearts on a balance scale, waiting to see who will be the one to let go. In the end, the narrator is torn between wanting to do the right thing and his overwhelming desire for the woman. He knows he has hurt his friend, but he is unable to stay away from her. Despite the betrayal and the guilt he feels, the power of love is too strong for him to resist. The song's melancholic melody adds to its emotional impact, making it a true classic in Julio Iglesias's vast repertoire.
