Александар Тарабунов – Нема Крај (Macedonian)
Ноќва, дишам пак,
нема зрак, не можам да знам.
Губам сјај, нема траг,
минута во круг, ти со друг,
кого лажеш пак?
Немам јас ниту дел од таа чудо бејбе.
Нема сјај, немој не ме гледај лудо веќе,
Сакам да погледнам со твојте очи
што ли гледаш кога врата ти ми затвараш?
Немам јас ниту дел од таа чудо бејбе.
Нема крај, патот кој го одиш лудо веќе.
Застани, гледаш ли,
немам глас ми земаш сила,
душа гори пак си одиш ти.
Се би можела да чуваш дел од мене,
спомени се моќни мириса на тебе.
Сонуваш, пак ти сонуваш.
Се би можела но бегаш пак од себе,
без мене, ќе се сетиш на овој крај!
Немам јас ниту дел од таа чудо бејбе.
Нема сјај, немој не ме гледај лудо веќе.
Сакам да погледнам со твојте очи
што ли гледаш кога врата ти ми затвараш?
Немам јас ниту дел од таа чудо бејбе.
Нема крај, патот кој го одиш лудо веќе.
Застани, гледаш ли,
немам глас ми земаш сила,
душа гори пак си одиш ти.
Aleksandar Tarabunov – No End (English Translation)
Tonight, as I breathe again,
there’s no air. I can’t comprehend.
Losing shine, leaving no trace,
а minute in a loop, You, with another,
who are you deceiving again?
I don’t hold a piece of that miracle, baby.
There’s no brightness, don’t gaze at me wildly anymore.
I wish to see through your eyes,
What is it that you observe, As you shut the door on me?
I don’t hold a piece of that miracle, baby.
There’s no ending, to the mad path you now tread.
Halt, do you notice?
Deprived of voice, you seize my strength,
soul ablaze, you depart once more.
You could have retained a part of me,
strong are the memories, your fragrance remains.
You’re dreaming, yes, you’re dreaming again.
You could have, yet you flee from yourself again,
absent my presence, You will recall this termination!
I don’t hold a piece of that miracle, baby.
There’s no brightness, don’t gaze at me wildly anymore.
I wish to see through your eyes,
What is it that you observe, As you shut the door on me?
I don’t hold a piece of that miracle, baby.
There’s no ending, to the mad path you now tread.
Halt, do you notice?
Deprived of voice, you seize my strength,
soul ablaze, you depart once more.
Unveiling the Emotion
The carefully crafted words of the song echo the protagonist’s internal struggle. “I don’t hold a piece of that miracle, baby, there’s no brightness, don’t gaze at me wildly anymore,” highlights the severance of a sacred connection, a bond perceived as miraculous and luminescent, now dimmed by separation and misunderstanding. The plea to halt, to notice the singer’s loss of voice and strength, underscores the profound impact of the departure, leaving a soul ablaze yet silenced.
The Musical Journey
The music, co-arranged by Tarabunov and Robert Bilbilov, mirrors the emotional ebb and flow embedded within the lyrics.

The synergistic blend of evocative lyrics and rich musical composition resonates, enabling listeners to embark on their introspective journeys, reflecting the universal themes of loss, love, and the enduring human spirit.
