Exploration of Emotions

Александар Тарабунов – Безвременска (Macedonian)
Знае ли тој за ноќи без број, патеки долги?
Сама знаеш и ти кој е твојот сон и твој филм.
Тој, случаен спој,
звезда во мрак, птица по пат,
сонце на праг.
Забораваш ли ти на таа светлина,
светлина низ тело што ни продира?
Лажи ме, но не се лажи сама.
Надеж губи утрото што доаѓа,
ти си моја сила што не проаѓа.
Остани, слушаш ли?
Во празен час, безвременска,
танцувај ти во боди
и прави се што ми годи.
Под овој бран, тонам пак.
Ти доаѓаш и си одиш,
слепо верувам, верувам,
не верувам.
Забораваш ли ти на таа светлина,
светлина низ тело што ни продира?
Лажи ме, но не се лажи сама.
Надеж губи утрото што доаѓа,
ти си моја сила што не проаѓа.
Остани, оди си.
Во празен час, безвременска,
танцувај ти во боди
и прави се што ми годи.
Под овој бран, тонам пак.
Ти доаѓаш и си одиш,
слепо верувам, верувам,
не верувам.
Aleksandar Tarabunov – Timeless (English Translation)
Does he know about the countless nights,
the long roads?
You alone know what is your dream and your fiction.
Him, a random connection,
a star in the darkness,
a bird on the way, sun on the threshold.
Did you forget about that light,
the light through the body that pierces us?
Lie to me,
but don’t lie to yourself.
Hope loses the coming morning,
you are my strength that doesn’t fade.
Stay, hear me out!
In this empty hour, timeless,
you dance in a bodysuit and do what pleases me.
Under this wave, I sink again.
You come and you go,
I blindly believe, I believe, I don’t believe.
Do you forget about that light,
the light through the body that pierces us?
Lie to me,
but don’t lie to yourself.
Hope loses the coming morning,
you are my strength that doesn’t fade.
Stay, or go away.
In this empty hour, timeless,
you dance in a bodysuit and do what pleases me.
Under this wave, I sink again.
You come and you go,
I blindly believe, I believe, I don’t believe.
