The Sky Above You

Translated from the Bulgarian · Небето над теб

Her slender neck directs
Her transparent eyes high upward
And they fasten on the sky
Explaining to no one
Whether they seek the marks of blood and life

And however much you search now for traces
Of Nobility and a strong Love
You will not see her eyes again
Turned toward you,
Because the slender neck
fastens her transparent eyes upon the sky

And you do not know how to fly
