Stop

No, Stop! don’t go!
See, It is raining
You Will get cold
It isn’t safe

O’ no, Stop! Don’t go, 
That’s a forest, 
Full of snakes, 
You will get hurt

No, no, don’t go
For quantum physics, 
Ah, it’s difficult, you see
Study arts or literature 
Beautiful like you

What! what are you wearing, 
Look at the thrones in your way, 
They will hold you back
You won’t move forward 
Wear something decent 

Oh, no, 
The moon is not full yet, 
It is still dark
Let’s get inside 
Or the wolves will hurt you 
Listen, they are howling 

No, no, Stop!
Leave it,
You can’t lift it
My fragile, little girl,
I’ll do it for you
For I love you
I must protect you
Hold my hand, let’s go…
                      (Paghunda)
