Amador, Amador
Did you hear my call?
It’s Fernando,
I’ve something to say
I know it’s hard to listen
when your life is young
though not clear of clutter
and dismay.
“Do what you want”
is what I’m saying
but only if you are free
and this only applies
to the honourable guys
like you and me
But what if your life
becomes oppressed
will you rebel and crave
what you can’t have or see?
Just a flip of the coin
can change a life
so please try to listen
to me.
To become a man is to withstand
the outer influences of human life
Don’t ask or obey anyone else
Learn to judge what is right, by yourself.
The quest of freedom
to do what you want
is a very serious matter
as there are consequences
from all that you do
and others you care for, who matter.
A good life is what we all want
and a good life is worth the work
So don’t pay attention to
pessimists or fanatics
but respect human life and it’s worth.
Speak and listen to other people
and keep your conscience sweet
and know that you will always sleep
in comfort, and seek
what you will of friendships
with a pure and open heart
and know that human beings
can also be labelled “thief”
with a reason for their path.
Experience fully the joy
and the pleasures of love
and accept the consequences
of your own adult choices
and life’s harsher lessons
of pain and death.
Don’t waste your short time
in guilt or harmful conflict
grow strong and understand
the world and its ways
and live a good life, each day.
Amador, Amador
Did you hear my call?
Fernando, you father
I love you, I wish I could give you more.
