The Man Who Is Not Afraid of Anyone
Look at me carefully, staring at me in the eye:
am I intimidating you? Where's your trust in me?
Another friend more royal than me does not exist!
I fought for a free and free existence,
not to be admired and accept laurels
which are reserved for the strongest
and most worthy than I! Ah, I confess that
I do not seek the glory of the gods,
it won't make me happy: only true friendship;
look closer at me: hear how I breathe...
inhaling the scent of the lulling breeze
that caresses me and demands no censorship!
I am the man who is not afraid of anyone
and having walked miles from youth until today:
I've learned that life must be lived to be understood
and appreciated with a valiant attitude...
giving an example to those who lack courage
and are afraid to show it and be alienated...
as the most ruthless force beats constantly
in a resurgent soul that only a warrior has
in those most decisive and exasperating moments!
Do not roll out carpets when I return from a victory,
my humility will not accept it, but I would be stricken by the joy
of your honorable act: it will remain in my vivid memory...
while you will wonder why I am so humble and defend my virtue:
all that I am and will be was instilled in me to pursue
the valor and grit of a heroine and an angel who fell from Heaven;
she guided me with her wise heart bringing me close to God,
and warning me that my path would have been long and hard:
if I had the same persistent faith that she had,
and so I've become the man who is not afraid of anyone!
