about

Original title: Капка По Капка (Bulgarian)

A warm, melancholic and jazzy tune in 5/8 time-signature.

The melody was created one summer in the Balkans, a few years ago. Mariana, a former singer in the band, once saw a poem in Bulgarian written by her friend Nadezhda Mileva, and beautifully married the melody line with the poem.

The theme is the rain and the stories its drops tell. “The tiredness slowly falls asleep in the reflection of the raindrop.”

lyrics

КАПКА ПО КАПКА

Капка по капка, дъждът ми говори.
В него се вслушвам, на него се моля.
Капка по капка, да се разтворя
В дъжда се надявам, аз във пороя.

Капка по капка, дъждът ми говори,
По стъклото се стича, а умора
В отражение от капката тихо заспива,
насън всеки път успокоено жива.
2.
Дъждът далечен, във бурята странно
Заявява принадлежност моя,
Преди и съм била или след като съм,
Дъждът ще ме милва, заключен в гръм.


(transliteration)
Kapka po kapka, dæždæt mi govori.
V nego se vslušvam, na nego se molya
Kapka po kapka, da se raztvorya
V dæžda se nadyavam, az væv poroya

Kapka po kapka, dæždæt mi govori,
Po stækloto se stiča, a umora
V otraženie ot kapkata tiho zaspiva,
Nasæn vseki pæt uspokoeno živa.

Dæždæt e dalečen, væv buryata stranno
Zayavyava prinadležnost moya,
Predi i sæm bila ili sled kato sæm,
Dæždæt ŝe me milva, zaklûčen v græm.
