My life, my intoxication,
The time has come to feel that I have had enough of you,
The days when I stumbled because of you,
Today is the time for that past to heal.
You've drunk enough, man,
Put an end to it, man!
You've ruined yourself enough, man,
Switch it off, man!
You've drunk enough, man,
Quit it, man!
Smash it to pieces, man,
Throw it away, man!
During painful times,
When there was no one to look after me,
You came by my side,
With your scent,
With your affection,
I fell deep inside.
I'm not angry... I have no anger towards you,
You did nothing wrong,
But I don't need you anymore.
What else can I say... I have no words.
When I was shivering with fever,
You were there as my medicine.
When I jumped around and partied,
Through all those times, you were everything to me.
In happiness and in sadness,
In good times and in bad,
You were always there.
Your job here is done... now just leave me alone!
You've drunk enough, man,
Put an end to it, man!
You've ruined yourself enough, man,
Switch it off, man!
You've drunk enough, man,
Quit it, man!
Smash it to pieces, man,
Throw it away, man!
Will you drink anymore? Chorus: No!
Male: Will you ruin your life? Chorus: No, I won't!
Male: Do we really need this?
Will you listen to what I say? Chorus: Yes, Master!
Will you drink anymore? Chorus: No!
Male: Will you ruin your life? Chorus: No, I won't!
Male: Do we really need this?
Will you listen to what I say?
Will you listen, will you listen to what I say? Chorus: Yes, Master!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Quit Pannuda from Master is an energetic anti-addiction anthem in which the protagonist addresses alcohol as a former friend and crutch. Reflecting on how liquor once offered solace during lonely, painful times, he acknowledges that it ultimately caused him to stumble, and he firmly decides that its time in his life has come to an end.
