Lyrics
Mama told me when I was young
– Giingnan ko ni Mama sa batan-on pa ko
“Come sit beside me, my only son
– “Lingkod sa akong tapad, akong bugtong anak
And listen closely to what I say
– Pamati pag ayo sa akong isulti
And if you do this it’ll help you
– Kon himuon mo ini makabulig ini sa imo
Some sunny day”
– Sunny day”
Oh, yeah
– Si oui
Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast
– Take your time, ayaw pagdali-dali og lakaw
Troubles will come and they will pass
– Ang mga problema moabut ug sila moagi
You’ll find a woman, yeah, and you’ll find love
– Ikaw makakaplag sa usa ka babaye, oo, ug kamo makakaplag sa gugma
And don’t forget son there is someone up above
– Ayaw kalimti ang imong anak adunay usa ka tawo sa ibabaw
And be a simple kind of man
– Be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
– Ikaw lang ang mamahalin and understanding
Baby, be a simple kind of man
– Baby, be a kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me son, if you can?
– Dili mo ba kini buhaton kanako, anak ko?
Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
– Indi pagkalimti ang imo kailigbon sa manggaranon nga tawo
All that you need is in your soul
– Ang tanan nga imong gikinahanglan mao ang sa imong kalag
And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
– Ug mahimo nimo kini, oh bata, kung gisulayan nimo
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
– Ang tanan nga akong gusto alang kaninyo, ang akong anak nga lalake, nga matagbaw
And be a simple kind of man
– Be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
– Ikaw lang ang mamahalin and understanding
Baby, be a simple kind of man
– Baby, be a kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me son, if you can?
– Dili mo ba kini buhaton kanako, anak ko?
Oh, yes, I will
– Yes, i ‘ ll sa
Boy, don’t you worry, you’ll find yourself
– Ayaw kabalaka, makit-an nimo ang imong kaugalingon
Follow your heart and nothing else
– Ang imong kasingkasing ug wala nay lain pa
And you can do this, oh, baby, if you try
– Ug mahimo nimo kini, oh bata, kung gisulayan nimo
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
– Ang tanan nga akong gusto alang kaninyo, ang akong anak nga lalake, nga matagbaw
And be a simple kind of man
– Be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
– Ikaw lang ang mamahalin and understanding
Baby, be a simple kind of man
– Baby, be a kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me son, if you can?
– Dili mo ba kini buhaton kanako, anak ko?
Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
– Sa bata, nga usa ka yano nga, mahimo nga usa ka yano nga tawo
Oh, be something you love and understand
– Ikaw lang ang mamahalin and understanding
Baby, be a simple kind of man
– Baby, be a kind of man
