И когато мина вечерта

И когато мина вечерта

Всичко мина

Всичко мина

IF I COULD
(Music, lyrics and performed by: Emil Dimitrov)
If I could, my sweet mother, choose between ugly and beautiful
woman,
I would then choose, my sweet mother, the faithful woman. (2)
If I could, my sweet mother, choose between the new and the
former friend,
I would then choose, my sweet mother, my enemy alone. (2)
If I could, my sweet mother, choose between glory and sad money,
I would then choose, my sweet mother, my granny’s songs. (2)
Do thou fly, on and on, my faithful horses,amidst the night, amid lie, amid cold, amid fear,always upwards, and up, always upwards, and up,my faithful horses…
If I could, my sweet mother, choose between you and the golden
gates,
I would then choose, my sweet mother, thine tears. (2)
If I could, my sweet mother, choose between my own and someone
else’s star,
I would then choose, my sweet mother, light for everyone. (2)
Do thou fly, on and on, my faithful horse,always on the road, without water, and without bread,so you and I may reach up to, so you and I may reach up to,the eternal fire!
If I could, my sweet mother, choose between sacrifice and dolce vita,
I would then choose, my sweet mother, dying with a song… (4)
