Translated from the Bulgarian · Много важно

Big deal
whether I’m like that

Big deal —
the days drag on

Big deal
to have been the first

Big deal —
the widows weep

Big deal
if a war starts tomorrow

Big deal,
whether I’ll be in it

Big deal,
whether I’ll die there

Big deal —
last communion

Big deal —
my mother, love

Big deal —
flowers on the grave

It is a big deal
