Simple Man - Hombre Sencillo 1 (tango)
Intimate tango with Argentine interior folk influence, performed by a melancholic husky whisper aged male voice with 70 years old. The voice is fragile and trembling, with slow vibrato, whispered phrases, breathy sighs, subtle growls, portamento slides, emotional rubato, spoken-sung delivery, dramatic pauses, and occasional folk ornamentation. Bandoneón provides expressive chords, melodic fills, subtle rubato, and tango phrasing with folk touches. Violin plays lyrical lines, slow vibrato, slides, and melodic counterpoint. Piano adds soft chords, occasional melodic runs, and harmonic color. Contrabass is deep and warm, grounding rhythm and harmony. Acoustic guitar adds slow fingerstyle arpeggios and melodic support. Percussion minimal, optional soft hand drum. Tempo slow 2x4 tango, expressive dynamics, cinematic phrasing, natural reverb, long pauses, warm nostalgic ambience, immersive, fading gently to silence.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Mi vieja me habló cuando yo era pibe,
“Vení, sentate acá a mi lado, hijo querido,
escuchá despacio todo lo que voy a decirte,
si lo guardás en el alma, algún día te servirá.”
Chorus 1
Sé un hombre sencillo,
no más…
no más…
sé un hombre sencillo,
aunque duela…
aunque cueste…
Verse 2
No apurés la vida, no corras al viento,
los males vienen… y después se van,
andá, encontrá una mujer, vas a hallar cariño,
y no te olvidés, pibe, que no estás solo,
allá arriba… alguien mira…
Chorus 2
Sé un hombre sencillo,
mi viejo corazón, sé un hombre sencillo,
sé alguien que sepa querer
sin ruido… sin miedo…
Verse 3
Olvidate del brillo del tipo poderoso,
todo lo que precisás vive adentro tuyo,
si lo querés de verdad, pibe, vas a poder,
yo solo quiero verte, hijo,
en paz… en silencio…
Bridge
No te pierdas, che…
el camino aparece cuando aflojás la tristeza…
Chorus Final
Todo lo que deseamos para vos,
es verte en paz…
verte en paz…
aunque el mundo apriete…
aunque la noche sea larga…
Sé un hombre sencillo…
sencillo, nomás…
Outro
Mi hijo…
viví… en paz…
final breathy sighs, fade to silence
