It's been ten years since
 my best friend died.
مضت عشر سنواتٍ منذُ وفاة
أعزّ صديقٍ لي
10 Jahre sind jetzt schon vergangen,
seit mein bester Freund gestorben ist.
Hace diez años que murió mi mejor amigo.
Hace diez años que murió mi mejor amigo.
Cela fait dix ans

Da quando lui, il mio migliore amico, è mancato
Faz dez anos que o meu
melhor amigo morreu.
Вот уже десять лет прошло
 со смерти моего лучшего друга.
