Originally José Hernández wrote "The Gaucho Martin Fierro" in 1872. In this work a protest against a civilization whose practices lead to the gaucho Martín Fierro to rebellion and isolated from society rises.
In the second part, "The Return of Martin Fierro", written in 1879, in a more conciliatory tone the author seeks to convey a message of reconciliation returning his character to civilization and assessing integration into society, family, work, and respect for others. In this second part are the famous advice:

A parent who gives advice
More than father is a friend,
ANSI as such say
Living with precaution
Naides know which corner
It hides what is his enemy.
[...]
The brothers are united,
Because that is the first law.
Be true union
At any time sea-
Because if each fight
Devour those of ajuera.
[...]
Respect for the elderly,
The outwit is not hazaña-
If you walk among people strange
They must be very precavidos-
Well alike is taken
Who is accompanied with bad.
[...]
He who lives in obedience
Never has softwood luck
But his pride enlarges
The rigor that padece-
Obey obeys
And be good in charge.
[...]
Many things lost man
You know sometimes again hallar-
But I have taught
And it's good that recuerden-
If shame is lost
He never found again.
[...]
And I give you these tips
I have cost alquirirlos,
Because I want dirijirlos,
But misses my cencia-
To give prudence
Pa requiring follow.
