Stop, Dearest, stop.
Stop messing around, stop.
Stop here or there, but now stop.
Right away stop.
Let me go to the top,
Not in the ground stuck,
But to reach the peak.
There’s a dream to pursue still.
I drew with my pencil
Over there beyond your will.
Stop, Dearest, stop.
Stop aborting my dream.
I’m no more among your team,
Cause of your carelessness I couldn’t bear
And deceits I couldn’t hear.
Stop, Dearest, stop.
Stop and let me leave
Where my soul can relax and glee,
Where my heart can raise and glow.
Stop and let me flee.
Watch me moving forward,
Flying like a bird,
Everywhere in the world.
Stop, Dearest, stop.
Remember the walks together we had.
Remember the laughs, the smiles.
Remember how the fish should be eaten
With a fork and a knife.
Stop, Darling, stop.
Stop dropping tears
And have mercy upon your poor eyes.
Stop, Dearest, stop.
Stop messing around, stop.
Stop here or there, but now stop.
Right away stop.
