You can hear this song, Los Ultimos Días, by clicking here.

I have wanted to tell this story in song for many years. This is the story of how Goddess came to me in my dreams and instructed me in how to better love, respect, and to some extent understand women. She then gave me the job of teaching other men to do the same. I waited years until I was able to better relate to and honor women before taking up this, my mission, in earnest.

I wanted to write a Spanish song for this CD. I wrote the text first without music. Later, I dreamed this music. When I awoke, I sang and played it to my tape recorder. After working on the music for some days, I happened to try singing the lyrics of this song to my dream music and was delightfully surprised to find that the lyrics fit the music perfectly. This is one of many amazing coincidences that accompanied me as I made this CD.

Many thanks to my Spanish friends Marga and Carolina Aquilar Villasanta (Cartegena) and Rafael Canales Cardo (Albecete) and others for their help in formulating these ideas in Spanish and correcting my grammar.

And a special heartfelt thanks and salute to M. who, as my muse, is inspiring me to take up this mission again and live this truth now in my 72nd year.

Los Ultimos Días

En los últimos días de mi adolescencia cuando empezaba a amar
En mis sueños encontré una mujer poderosa. Esa “Diosa” me enseñó.
Ella me dijo ¿Sabes cual es tu problema?

Con vergüenza mis ojos se vuelven mirando al suelo.
Yo me pregunté si estaba preparado para escucharla.
Yo sabía que ella empezaría. Aunque estaba timido
Quería oir su mensaje y alzé mis ojos para recibir su aviso.
Ella me dijo ¿Sabes cual es tu problema?
Tu ves a las mujeres como objeto para gozar tu.
Tu ves a las mujeres como objeto para tu gozo.

Antes debes aprender, si quieres que yo te enseñe
Algo de mí con respeto a las mujeres. Tu primera lección es:
Cuando tu estés con una mujer
Hay dos personas aquí y no solo estás tu.
Hay dos personas presentes aquí y no tu solo.

Ella tenía razón, era un joven bufón, nada más.
Tenía algo que aprender para comprender y amar a las mujers con respeto.
Ahora miro en sus ojos y les pregunto ¿Cómo estás en verdad? Díme.
¿Qué es importante para ti en la vida? ¿Quién eres tu, mi amiga?
Y yo descubrí claramente por qué ellas me atraen.
Son personas con maravelosas cualidades.
Son personas con cualidades tan maravelosas.

Ahora cuando yo miro puedo ver esta verdad hermosa.
Aprecio y doy mucho regocijo a mi compañera.
Así hombre, si esta historia te ha tocado y deseas como yo gozar
El amor profundo y comprender esto es lo que puedes hacer:
Pues, no olvides cual es tu problema
Tu ves a las mujeres como objeto para tu gozo.
Y recuerda cuando estés con una mujer
Hay dos personas presentes aquí y no tu solo.

Así cuando encuentres una mujer atractiva
Sé masculino. No seas machista. Sé autentico, genuino y varoníl, sí.
Ella es una persona completa. Dale el respeto que te gustaría recibir.
Hazle preguntas. ¿Cómo te podrías comportar para hacerle más felice?
Sí, hoy.
Serás mas feliz. Hazlo así. Merece la pena.
La intimidád profunda, será tu recompensa.
Una profunda intimidád, será tu recompensa.

No simplemente me creas. Compruébalo por tí mismo también.
Vivirás mejór el amor y llegarás a la cumbre de tus deseos.
Gracias a la Diosa, por enseñarme estos pasos.
Practica eso y descubrelo por ti mismo.


English translation:

The Last Days

During the last days of adolescence when I was beginning to love women, I met a powerful woman in my dreams. This "Goddess" became my teacher.
She said, "Do you know what’s wrong with you?

Embarrassed, I looked down toward the ground.
I asked myself if was prepared to hear this.
I knew that she was about to begin. Although was afraid, I wanted to hear her message and I raised my eyes to hers to receive her advice.
She said, "Do you know what’s wrong with you?
Your look upon women as objects to enjoy.
Your look upon women as objects for your pleasure.

“You have much to learn. If you want me to teach you some of what I know about respecting women, your first lesson is:
When you are with a woman
There are two people here and not only you.
There are two people present here and not you alone.”

She was right. I was nothing more than a young buffoon.
I had much to learn before I could understand and love women respectfully.
Now I look in their eyes and ask, "How are you, really? Tell me. What is important for you in this life? Who are you, my friend?"
And I discovered clearly why these women attract me.
They are persons with wonderful qualities.
They are people with such marvellous qualities.

Now when I look, I am able to see this beautiful truth.
I appreciate and I give much joy to my companion.
So, mister, if this story has touched you and you desire as I to enjoy profound love and to understand (women) this is what you can do: Well, don't forget what your problem is.
You look upon women as objects for your pleasure.
And remember when you are with a woman
There are two people present and not you alone.

So, when you meet an attractive woman
Be masculine. Don't be macho. Be authentic, genuine and manly, yes.
She is a complete person.
Gives her the respect that you would like to receive.
Ask her questions (like) how could you behave to make to her happier? Yes, (do it) today.
You will be happier, too. Do it like this. It is worth it.
The depth of intimacy will be your reward.
A deep intimacy will be your reward.

Don't just believe me. Try it out for yourself, too.
You will really live your love and reach to the peak of your desires.
Thanks to Goddess, for teaching me these steps.
Put them into practice and make this discovery for yourself
