Two lovely eyes. The spirit of a child
in two lovely eyes; — music — rays
They don't want anything and they don't vow…
My soul is praying,
child,
my soul is praying!
The passions and the woes
will cast tomorrow over them
the veil of sin and shame.
The veil of sin and shame —
won't cast tomorrow over them
the passions and the woes..
My soul is praying,
child,
my soul is praying…
They don't want anything and they don't vow! —
Two lovely eyes. Music, rays
in two lovely eyes. The spirit of a child…
A translated poem by the Bulgarian symbolist poet and revolutionary Peyo Yavorov, the so called "singer of the soulful abysses".
This is actually a love poem and the child is his beloved one Mina, a 16-year-old girl. Peyo Yavorov wrote it when he was 28.
