Disclaimer : We don't own the song, just the cover.
For the first time ever, I'm working with awesome musicians! This song is from Gundam 00, originally by Stephanie. This was Chad Senga's idea, to do an online jam of the song's Japanese version which you can also view by clicking here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9PbUbGBkhg
I also think this is the only english version of this song. :P

Friends (English Version)
Lyrics : Judee Zee
Days keep on passing as we wear smiles
The memories that we shared
Forever will be my treasured moments
The scenes keep changing like the seasons
So fast just like the wind,
We went through it all.
I threw away all of the sorrows and pride
Because i know my friends are here by my side
I gotta say
Even if i pretend that i am strong,
I can't survive alone
I need somebody to hold onto my hand
Just like the promises that we have made
They all stay deep inside my heart,
Like a solid chain, that never breaks
Nights keep on drifting as you say hi
And after I say hello,
I had to avoid the sad goodbyes
The path keeps changing like a crossroad
Encountering this and that
I had to move on.
And so i realized and opened my eyes
I see a future with you here by my side
I gotta say
Even if you're so far away, I swear
I'll always think of you
I know one day that you and i will meet again
I know all of our dreams will soon come true
And from the bottom of my heart, i wanted you to know
We're friends forever
I cross my fingers as i walk the way
Towards the great unknown
You gave me courage and the strength to stand alone
We may lose everything but i don't care
As long as we can make a change
Whatever comes our way
We can both face
In a dream,
I can feel the waves
And i hear a song
A familiar melody
Some things fade
But some things remain
As i grow, they're deep inside my heart
A collection of precious memories
I gotta say
Even if i pretend that i am strong,
I can't survive alone.
I need somebody to hold onto my hand
Just like the promises that we have made
They all stay deep inside my heart,
Like a solid chain
As life goes on..
I'll never forget the moments we shared
Don't let it go
Because forever i will treasure
All the people i call my friends

I just found this on a whim searching for Gundam SFX, but holy crap! The lyrical translations were solid. It did break away from the beat some times (such as the line: I know all of our dreams will soon come true) while albeit strange it did give an original ring to it. Nice job!

Ore wa Gundam!!!! XD
Your English version was spot on, not to mention the lyrics. This definitely is a go signal for future projects! :D
