Arretez

Arretez

Stop

Rukh jaoo


Turn around

Look at me

Yes, that's enough


Arretez

Stop

Rukh jaoo


Sing to me

A song of immeasurable sadness

For I am sad without you

And this is my truth


Arretez

Stop 

Rukh jaoo


Walk towards me

So I may watch

The rhythm of your body as you move

Now stand

So I may gaze at you

The way a man looks at a woman

The way men look at me

Hunger in my eyes

For you

Only for you


Arretez

Stop 

Rukh jaoo


Come closer

So I may smell you

Taste you

Run my hands where my eyes have been



Arretez

Stop

Rukh jaoo


Turn around

Walk away

For I am happy without you

See me smile

There,

I don't need you

I don't love you

You are to me

Nothing


Walk away

So I may return to my mourning

of all that I don't miss 

when I don't think of you.
