"Amigos Para Siempre (Friends for Life)", also called "Amics per sempre" in Catalan, is a song recorded by British soprano Sarah Brightman and Spanish tenor José Carreras, with music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics written by Don Black.
A choir performed the song in English, Spanish, and Catalan during the opening ceremony of the Games while an Olympic flag was unfolded over the athletes who occupied the entire stadium field.
A remixed version of the original, with less vocal reverb and modified balancing, was included on the compilation album Andrew Lloyd Webber: Now & Forever (2001).
Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as a "Spanish-pop ballad" and noted its "stately performances" by Carreras and Brightman, and the "dramatic orchestral arrangement".
"Amigos Para Siempre" was the favourite song of Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the International Olympic Committee from 1980 to 2001, and was played at his funeral in Barcelona in April 2010.
In 2020, La Poem covered the song on their first mini-album Scene#1 and performed it at the opening of the 35th Golden Disc Awards.
