Stop worrying about my problems, the family is in need, oh!

Stop falling into depression, the family needs you, oh!

Let’s keep going, we must be patient.

Stop crying, you need to rest.

Let’s keep going, we must be patient.

If I upset you, it’s because I love you.

If I’m giving you advice, it’s because I love you.

I have many things to do, but I love you.

I have a lot to do, but I love you.

Don’t forget that your family also loves you.

Don’t forget that your family also loves you.

Gina, I’m searching for you.

Stop, keep going.
