The Lecture
Come here my son, get closer
What did you tell your sister last night?
I didn't understand much, but one word
To be frank, I didn't like it at all.
Lately, you've been very bold,
Going out partying with your buddies
And it seems to me, my son, that you've 'forgotten'
That here, in this house, I'm the one in charge.
So your sister's son is 'orphan'
Nice little word, right? How you've 'progressed'
Before, when you were a kid, I remember, you used to come crying
Looking for the skirt of the one you've 'insulted'.
It seems to me, my son, that you even forget
That mom died when you were born
And it was your sister who couldn't sleep
Thinking about your dad, the next day.
Here, in this house, there's no such thing as an orphan,
They're all my children, understood? And I can't stand
That a little piece of shit, like you, comes
To insult the queen I have in the ranch.
It's true she's single and has a son,
But if she's a mother now, it's because she wanted to,
Not like those others, that you've 'known'
Who take remedies to lose the child.
So I don't want to hear you ever again
Saying something mean or against the child,
God is our father, if there's a lack of affection,
And she is our mother... well... because I say so.
So now go to where your sister is,
Apologize to her and nothing happened here,
Tomorrow we're leaving with the troop, far away,
And we need a man, because I'm old.
