I only ask to be treated with respect
That is something I will thank you for
Be clear, what you give, that you receive
Don't look for me or you will be surprised

Now they say I'm ungrateful
I just want to do things right
Since I was a kid, I had to be brave
And blessed be my God, I'm still at 100

Dear mother, I thank you for the advice
Thanks to that, I am a good man
Today the circus already has the tent full
I decide the show I will give them
In class, the teacher is the one who commands
Pay attention if you want to learn
Today it's about how I'm progressing
And you just see me

Greetings to the boy with the sandals
Just so he can dance, said the old man

Humility is not something I boast about
But I'm clear about what it means
For now, the same people surround me
Who gave me their hand to excel

Many speak without thinking about consequences
They criticize me because they no longer see me on foot
If they knew that before wearing shoes
Many times I pricked my feet

Dear mother, I thank you for the advice
Thanks to that, I am a good man
Today the circus already has the tent full
I decide the show I will give them
In class, the teacher is the one who commands
Pay attention if you want to learn
Today it's about how I'm progressing
And you just see me (cheer up!)
