Ако бях се родила река,
If I was born a river
щях да бъда аз майка на всички
I would have been a mother to everyone
много нежна и много добра –
Very tender and very kind
на дървета, на хора, на птици.
To trees, to people, to birds
Ако бях се, ако бях се родила река… (×2)
If I was, if I was born a river... (x2)
Но родих се аз просто жена –
But I was born just a woman -
благодарна, безкрайно човечна.
Grateful, endlessly humane
„Ти сестра си на тая река“ –
You're this river's sister
ми прошепна накрая сърцето.
My heart whispered to me in the end
Ако бях се родила река…
If I was born a river...
Ако бях се родила река,
If I was born a river
щях безсмъртна да бъда навеки,
I would have been immortal forevermore
за да моля небе и земя
So I could ask heaven and earth
свойта прошка да дават на всеки.
To give their forgiveness to everyone
Ако бях се, ако бях се родила река… (×2)
If I was, if I was born a river... (x2)
Но родих се аз просто жена –
But I was born just a woman -
благодарна, безкрайно човечна.
Grateful, endlessly humane
„Ти сестра си на тая река“ –
You're this river's sister
ми прошепна накрая сърцето.
My heart whispered to me in the end
Ако бях се родила река…
If I was born a river...
