Lynyrd Skynyrd: Simple Man

Tad uzklausi mani, mans dēls, un iegaumē manu runu, tad tavu dzīves gadu skaits kļūs jo liels.
Es vedīšu tevi pa gudrības ceļu, es izvedīšu tevi uz pareizās stigas, lai, kad tu iesi, tavs gājums tev nekļūtu nepatīkams, un, kad tu skriesi, lai tava kāja nekur neapdauzītos.
Turies cieši pie pamācības, neatkāpies no tās; glabā to, jo tā ir tava dzīvība.
Neej pa bezdievju tekām un neuzej uz ļaunu cilvēku ceļa!
Lai tas aizlokās projām no tevis, un neej pa to; vairies no tā un ej tam secen! (Sal.pam.4:10-15)

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.

And if you do this
It’ll help you some sunny day. Oh Yah!

Oh, take your time… Don’t live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
You’ll find a woman, yea yea, you’ll find love,
And don’t forget son.
There is someone up above.

And be a simple, kind of man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
Oh, won’t you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust, for the rich man’s gold
All that you need, is in your soul.
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for you my son.
Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple, kind of man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
Oh, won’t you do this for me son,
If you can?

Boy, don’t you worry… you’ll find yourself.
Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else.
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple, kind of man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
Oh, won’t you do this for me son,
If you can?

Baby be a simple, be a simple man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
