Translated from the Bulgarian · Приближи се до мен

Come closer to me
and touch me.
Where am I?
Right here.
Behind the cello.
In the shadow.
I can’t be seen.
That’s why I’m calling you
behind the cello
I’m playing.
And this singer sprawled out
there in the foreground —
just step over her.
Come closer to me
and touch me.
