Wake up in the morning and need to do work
You and I fight with each other
Am I stupid perhaps? It can work perfectly
I have to work late in the night again
You and I are always arguing
I don’t know how to stop, how to rest, how to wait
I can’t sleep at night
It’s not that I don’t want to sleep
Because I can’t sleep, I have a headache
It’s not that I want to go in depression,
but I hear your voice in middle of night
Vomiting whatever comes in your mouth
I don’t want to love you. I don’t want to quarrel with you
Now at a time like this
Please try and go (leave me)
I don’t want to talk.
I don’t want to dissuade (you from going)
I am afraid of the dangers of being associated with you
I see a man keep sleeping soundly on bed
Struggling with drunkenness
A moldy house. I go to work because I am afraid of poverty
Generation after generation, I don’t want it to be like this
Everytime you waste your time, our young people will be amazed
The faces at small houses cannot be at ease
because there is lot of distress and worry
Do not live with addiction
Do not listen to those who want to deceive you
Strive to become a better person
And live for a hundred years
