Bulgarian Poetry by Stefan Kozhuharov

lyrics

Ostavixhte
I vech ne se vidyaxhme
V'razdyala da zhiveem
tiran ni os'di.

I d’lgo, potaino,
goreshto kopnyaxhme
sosht edna pregr’dka
Bog da ni dari.

Ne byaxh do tebe
kr’sta da podigna,
ta m’kite
ti m’nichko da oblekcha

Stradaniya slomixha
dushata ti pechalna,
izd’xhnala zovyashta
prokudeni detsa.

Spi vechniya si s’n,
maichitse ednichka,
i znai, che v'tvoita oris
ti ne be samichka.




I left you,
And we never saw each other again.
To live in separation
a tyrant sentenced us forever.

And long, secretly, we longed
for God to grant us
with one more embrace.

I was not next to you to lift the cross
and alleviate your sufferings.

The sufferings crushed your sad soul,
expiring and calling your exiled children.

Sleep your eternal sleep my only mother,
and know that in your fate you are not alone.
