Lambe Alabakovski – Na Cekor od Bregot ( Lyrics Translation )
Exploring the Depths of the Song
The song navigates through a journey of a message in a bottle, floating amidst the boundless sea, filled with stardust and patience, riding wave after wave. The narrator embarks on a quest towards the love he seeks, on the brink of the shore – the metaphorical threshold to the object of his affection. It’s a tale of love’s tentative approach, navigating the uncertain waters of emotion and expectation.
Ламбе Алабаковски – На Чекор од Брегот (Macedonian)
Се приближувам кон тебе
Како искрена љубовна порака,
Во шише од стакло која плови низ морето.
Полно со ѕвездена прашина,
Трпеливо бран по бран,
Со задлабочен поглед,
Сум на чекор од брегот,
На твоето тело,
Не го враќај тоа шише,
Во вода
Без да знаеш
Каква порака крие,
Далеку сме ние!
Само вистина не дели,
На ништо друго не се надевам!
Проѕирни се чуствата,
Длабоко скриени.
Темни мисли отстрани за миг, од себе!
Бранови и стаклен сјај,
Натаму погледни, и чекај ме до крај !!!
Сум на чекор од брегот,
На твоето тело,
Не го враќај тоа шише,
Во вода
Без да знаеш
Каква порака крие,
Далеку сме ние!
Само вистина не дели,
На ништо друго не се надевам!
Lambe Alabakovski – A Step from the Shore (English Translation)
Approaching you
Like a sincere love message,
In a glass bottle floating through the sea.
Filled with stardust,
Patiently wave by wave,
With a profound gaze,
I’m a step from the shore,
Of your body,
Do not return that bottle,
Into the water
Without knowing
What message it hides,
Far are we!
Only truth does not divide,
I hope for nothing else!
Transparent are the feelings,
Deeply hidden.
Remove dark thoughts for a moment, from yourself!
Waves and glass shine,
Look further, and wait for me till the end!!!
I’m a step from the shore,
Of your body,
Do not return that bottle,
Into the water
Without knowing
What message it hides,
Far are we!
Only truth does not divide,
I hope for nothing else!
The Message in the Bottle
The image of a message in a bottle symbolizes a heartfelt and earnest plea, a connection sent out into the world with hope and vulnerability. The narrator urges the receiver not to return the bottle to the water without unveiling the hidden love note within. Despite the distance (“we are far”), the truth remains the binding force, the unwavering anchor amidst the expanse of the ocean, keeping the hope of union alive.
Overcoming the Darkness
With transparent emotions and deeply buried feelings, the lyrics encourage the brushing aside of dark thoughts. Amidst the waves and the glassy shine, the narrative beckons to look beyond, to wait till the end. It’s a call to persevere, to let love’s light pierce through the veil of doubt and fear, embracing the warmth of hope and unity.
A Confluence of Artistry
The music video, orchestrated by Zoran Zonde Stojanovski, breathes life into this poetic tale, with the starring roles of Dora Kitanovič and Ilija Karadakoski, showcasing the tangible embodiment of the longing and hope expressed in the song. The exquisite guitar by Aleksandar Taušanov and the melodious trumpet by Senad Usein beautifully complement the rich tapestry of emotions, further enhancing the sensory experience of the narrative.
In Conclusion
“На чекор од брегот” stands as a poignant testament to the enduring human quest for love and connection. It speaks to the heart’s resilient capacity to hope and yearn, despite the expanse that may separate us from what we seek. The poetic lyricism intertwined with the soulful musical composition, crowned with a compelling visual representation, makes it a compelling exploration of human vulnerability, longing, and the indomitable spirit of love.
