PRAYER FOR BULGARIA
Teach me, God, till my last breath,
to watch the sky with love.
To sing the songs of birds and magic,
to suffer for the broken flower.
Teach me God and give me strength
To turn myself into a sea.
And anyone who dares touch my shore-
Let me embrace them with canvas of love.
Teach me God and give me faith,
To see the end of sorrows
And place one heart – to you devoted
At the feet of my Bulgaria.
***
What you have sown, you will reap.
What you have gathered, you will give.
And you will not wonder from the afterlife
whether you were a dream or a longing.
And you will not discover beyond the heavens
that the wind has a Bulgarian heart.
What we were supposed to accomplish,
the Lord God himself will reward.
