Music: Ueno Koji (上野耕路)

“Shounen no Ichiban no Tomo” is a song released by GUERNICA and included on their second album Shinseiki e no Unga as track #5.

Not many will stand in trouble and in strife,
With counsel and affection ever sweet.
But there is one whose smile will ever on us beam,
Whose love is dearer far than any other;
And wherever we may turn
This lesson we will learn
A boy’s best friend is his mother.

Then cherish her with care
And smooth her silv’ry hair,
When gone you will never get another.
And wherever we may turn
This lesson we shall learn,
A boy’s best friend is his mother.
