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
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.

Hi, Erik,
Below is my attempt at translation -- I hope you enjoy it.
Verse 1: Head out in that direction where there's no road, no path way
This world keeps running, but we'll take it easy
Sitting by the surf, onto the sand, guitar in hand
The bar is next to the sea, and the sea -- next to the bar
Chorus: Time keeps flying further and further
We follow along, though we take it easy
Bushy-haired, pirates-like
Singing, as we wait for the dawn
Time keeps flying further and further
We follow along, though we take it easy
The bonfire glows, the Moon winks
And for the moment that's enough for me.
Verse 2: Morning with no alarm clocks is like heaven with no clouds
Somebody's halted the Earth, and your thighs feel so warm
Looking upon the surf, onto the sand, guitar in hand
The bar is next to the sea, and the sea -- next to the bar
Chorus: . . .
[Spoken]
Loftier, Higher, Much more, Many more
Richer, Bigger, Better, Newer
Greater, More attractive, A bit more-so
Fatter, Wider, Prepacked, Ready-made
More beloved, More active, More necessary
More ahead, More hurried, More Immediate, More alive
Greater, More attractive, More brand-new
By all means, a bit more-so, Prepacked, Ready-made
Loftier, Higher, More, Much more, Richer
Richer, Bigger, Better, Newer...
Take a look around, take a listen, ask around, quiet down
Do a dance, wait a bit, enjoy the moment
Slow it down, slow it down...
Chorus: . . . [ same, except for one word ]
[ The line "Singing, as we wait for the dawn" is changed to "Drinking, as we wait for the dawn". ]
I don't pretend to be a professional translator; perhaps someone can do a better job. However, I'm sure that this is a lot better than any electronic translation.
Also, the natural rhythm and melody of the language is lost in translation, but that's just unfortunate.
I hope you like this. Cheers!
P.S.:
Bulgaria -- the beach and the people -- will be happy to have you come back one day!

Перфектна песен
@Konnik92
Когато я чух за първи път, останах с впечатлението, че е някаква стара песен (някъде между 80-те и 90-те). Невероятна песен с ритъм и енергичност.
@tauryfree
Няма стари песни има само хубави превърнали се във хитове и ....останалите.
