Simple Man
Lynyrd Skynyrd Lyrics
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, ah yeah"
"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman, yeah, and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"
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"
Oh yes, I will
"Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart 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

Homem Simples - Tradução
Mamãe me disse quando eu era jovem
Sente aqui do meu lado, meu único filho
E ouça atentamente o que eu digo
E se você escutar, isso vai te ajudar em algum belo dia
Oh sim!
Oh, não tenha pressa, não viva rápido demais
Problemas virão, e eles passarão
Vá encontrar uma mulher, e encontrará amor
E não esqueça, filho, existe alguém lá em cima
E seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, seja algo que você ame e entenda
Querido, seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, você não fará isso por mim, filho
Se puder?
Esqueça seu desejo pelo ouro do homem rico
Tudo aquilo que você precisa está em sua alma
E você pode fazer isso, se tentar
Tudo que eu quero para você, meu filho
É que esteja satisfeito
E seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, seja algo que você ame e entenda
Querido, seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, você não fará isso por mim, filho
Se puder?
Menino, não se preocupe, você se encontrará
Siga seu coração e nada mais
E você pode fazer isso, se tentar
Tudo que eu quero para você, meu filho
É que esteja satisfeito
E seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, seja algo que você ame e entenda
Querido, seja um tipo simples de homem
Oh, você não fará isso por mim, filho
Se puder?
Querido, seja um homem, seja um homem simples
Oh, seja algo que você ame e entenda
Querido, seja um homem simples

My mom was terminally ill and she wrote me a letter to read after she passed, and she told me to listen to this whenever I was missing her or feeling lost. Rest in peace, Mom.
