Mama told me when I was young Mama told me when I was young Mamá me dijo cuando yo era joven Come sit beside me, my only son Come sit beside me, my only son Ven y siéntate a mi lado, mi único hijo And listen closely to what I say. And listen closely to what I say. Y escuchar atentamente lo que digo. And if you do this And if you do this Y si lo hace It will help you some sunny day. It will help you some sunny day. Le ayudará un día soleado. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Take your time... Don't live too fast, Tómese su tiempo ... No vivas demasiado rápido, Troubles will come and they will pass. Troubles will come and they will pass. Los problemas vendrán y pasarán. Go find a woman and you'll find love, Go find a woman and you'll find love, Ve a buscar a una mujer y encontraras amor, And don't forget son, And don't forget son, Y no te olvides hijo, There is someone up above. There is someone up above. Hay alguien allá arriba. (Chorus) (Chorus) (Estribillo) And be a simple kind of man. And be a simple kind of man. Y ser un simple hombre bondadoso. Be something you love and understand. Be something you love and understand. Sé algo que ames y comprendas. Be a simple kind of man. Be a simple kind of man. Sea una clase simple de hombre. Won't you do this for me son, Won't you do this for me son, No vas a hacer esto por mi hijo, If you can? If you can? Si usted puede? Forget your lust for the rich man's gold Forget your lust for the rich man's gold Olvídese de su lujuria por el oro del rico All that you need is in your soul, All that you need is in your soul, Todo lo que necesitas está en tu alma, And you can do this if you try. And you can do this if you try. Y usted puede hacer esto si lo intentas. All that I want for you my son, All that I want for you my son, Todo lo que quieres para ti, mi hijo, Is to be satisfied. Is to be satisfied. Es que estés satisfecho. (Chorus) (Chorus) (Estribillo) Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. Chico, no te preocupes ... se encontrará. Follow you heart and nothing else. Follow you heart and nothing else. Sigue tu corazón y nada más. And you can do this if you try. And you can do this if you try. Y usted puede hacer esto si lo intentas. All I want for you my son, All I want for you my son, Todo lo que quiero para ti, mi hijo, Is to be satisfied. Is to be satisfied. Es que estés satisfecho. (Chorus) (Chorus) (Estribillo)
