Scrisoarea lui Ilie Năstase pentru toți românii

Buna, dragii mei!
Ma apasa de ceva timp limitele impuse de tara mea, Romania.
Eu sunt un om simplu, care a avut cel mai mare noroc in viata – sa fie “liber” mental. Sa-si traisaca viata cu bune si rele, sa beneficieze de pe urma harului divin al talentului in tenis, sa beneficiez ede bucuria de a lega relatii foarte apropiate cu oameni de pe tot globul, oameni care au excelat in ceea ce au facut…actori, cantareti, sportivi, politicieni, oameni de afaceri.
Cu toti am pastrat relatii foarte apropiate, pentru ca am fost si am ramas UN OM NORMAL.
Mult mai tarziu in viata mi-am dat seama ca mi-am facut tara mandra si poprul fericit, la un moment dat, dand speranta ca ceva poate merge mai bine, ca lumea n-are granite, cand totul era sub control comunist.
Si de a ma bucura de ceea ce doar Constitutia Americana prevede – dreptul la fericire.
De aceea, in primul rand, va rog sa va cereti dreptul de a fi normali, de a va bucura de viata.
Nu traiti viata altora.
Niciodata a politicienilor. Fara exceptie, de la cap la coada.
M-am casatorit de cateva ori, am copii, nepoti, ma casatoresc din nou acum, la 73 de ani.
Sunt un om liber. Inca o data spun acest lucru, ca sa va intre bine in cap, trebuie sa stiti ce vreti de la viata voastra. Fiti liberi si bucurati-va de fiecare zi a vietii voastre.
M-a rugat un prieten foarte apropiat, Gabi,  sa accept, la apusul vietii, sa mai fac un efort sa scot Romania din “noaptea fara luna” in care se afunda acum.
Daca ultimii mei ani din viata pot fi oferiti salvarii tarii mele, sunt gata s-o fac.
Daca voi credeti ca pot fi soldatul vostru, daca voi intelegeti ca nimic material nu are sens pentru mine in fata acestei sanse, va astept langa mine.
Mai am inca puterea ca prin prietenii mei din toata lumea, sa schimb Romania in bine.
N-as risca niciodata ca din erou pentru voi, sa devin un looser.
Cu drag, oriunde sunteti in lume, va iubesc dragii mei compatrioti!
Ilie Nastase

Greetings, my beloved!
I have been bothered for some time about the imposed limits in my country, Romania. I am a simple man, who had the greatest luck in life, to be mentally free. To live his life with good and with bad, to benefit from God’s blessing of great talent in tennis, from the happiness that comes from bringing together close relationships with people from around the world, people who have excelled in what they have done. Actors, athletes, politicians, businesspeople.
With all I have kept a close relationship, because I was and remain a normal man.
Much later in life I realised that I made my country proud and my people happy, giving them hope that things can improve, that the world doesn’t have imposing borders that it once did when everything was under communist control.
I enjoy what the American Constitution provides – the right to happiness. Because of this, first of all, I ask you all to ask for your right to be normal, to take happiness from life. Don’t live other peoples lives.  Not a politician’s. Without exceptions, from beginning to end.
I have been married a few times, I have children, nieces and nephews, and I will soon be married again at the age of 73 years.
I am a free man. Again I will say this, so you understand, you have to know what you want from your life. Be free and enjoy every day of your lives.
A close friend of mine, Gabi, asked me to accept, in the twilight of my life, to make yet another effort to take Romania out of the “moonless night” in which it finds itself now. If you believe that in the last years of my life I can be your soldier, if you understand that nothing material drives me forward in this opportunity, I await you by my side.
I have yet the strength like my friends from the around the world, to change Romania for the better.
With love, anywhere you may be in the world, I love you, my beloved compatriots!
Ilie Nastase
