Stefan Valdobrev Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Бяга света, но ние ще я караме полека
Сядаме пред вълните, И на пясъка – с китара
Бара е до морето, И морето е до бара
Времето лети все по-далеко
Ние го следим, но по-полека
Чорлави глави – като пирати
Пеем и чакаме зората
Времето лети все по-далеко
Ние го следим, но по-полека
Огъня гори, луната мига
И засега това ми стига
Утрото без аларма е като небе без облак
Някой е спрял земята, А бедрата ти са топли
Гледаме към вълните, И на пясъка – с китара
Бара е до морето, И морето е до бара
По-високо, По-нагоре, Повече по много
По-богато, По-голямо, По-добре по-ново
По-велико, По-красиво, Малко по-такова
По-дебело, По-широко, Опаковано, Готово
По-любимо, По-активно, По-необходимо
По-напред, По-набързо, По-веднага, По-живо
По-велико, По-красиво, По-чисто ново
Непременно квот’-такова, Опаковано, Готово
По-високо, По-нагоре, Повече по много, По-богато
По-голямо, По-добре по-ново
Поогледай се, Послушай, Поразпитай, Помълчи
Потанцувай си, Почакай, Наслади се на момента
The song "По-полека" by Stefan Valdobrev is about taking things slow and enjoying the present moment. The opening lines, "Тръгвам натам, където няма път или пътека, Бяга света, но ние ще я караме полека" translate to "I'm going there, where there's no road or path, The world is running, but we'll take it slow." The singer is saying that he's going off the beaten path and not rushing through life as most people do. He's going to enjoy every moment and take his time to enjoy the beauty around him.
The chorus reinforces this message, with the lines "Времето лети все по-далеко, Ние го следим, но по-полека" which means "Time flies further and further, we follow it, but slowly." The singer is urging us to slow down and appreciate each moment, rather than rushing through life and missing out on the things that matter.
Throughout the song, the singer uses various images to describe the beauty of the moment, such as sitting by the waves on the beach with a guitar and enjoying the sunrise. He's also saying that the best things in life are the simplest, and that we don't need to constantly chase after bigger and better things to be happy.
Overall, "По-полека" is a reminder to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and enjoy the simple things in life.
