STE STROIM ZAVOD

ot Nikola Vaptsarov

Ste stroim zavod,
Ogromen zavod
Sas iaki

Betonni steni!

Masze I szeni,
Narod,
Ste stroim zavod
Za szivota!

Detsata ni mrat
V otrovnata smrad,
Bez slantze,
V zadushni koptori.
Masze I szeni,
Narod,
Ni krachka nazad!
Ste stroim zavod
Za szivota!


Detzata ni mrat
V zadushnata smrad
Sas szadni za slantze ochi.
A nie?- Bezdushno
Previvame vrat
I malchime
Pozorno malchim!

Prekarahme mreszi,
I v tiah ukrotena teche-
Da, nashata krav
Preminava
V provodnite mreszi
I dviszi szivota.

A toi ni pomita,
Vleche
I nie go gledame
S tapa, naivna nebresznost.
Sas nokti dalbahme skalite
V granita touneli probihme.
Opasahme s relsi zemiata
V nedrata I vsichko otkrihme.
Anteni zamreszvat nebeto,
Kadeto v maglite zabiti
Sa nebostargachi,
A oste v prostora
Stomaneni garvani grachat!

Drugari,
Da badem na iasno-
Ne udriam kleimo na progresa
I znam prekrasno,
Che ne progresa e, koito ni dushi.
I nie ne ste go rushim.-

Ste sroim zavod,
Ogromen zavod,
Sas iaki
Betonni steni
Masze I szeni,
Narod,
Ste stroim zavod za szivota!

WE SHALL BUILD A WORKS

by Nikola Vaptsarov

We shall build a works
An enormous works
With strong, concrete walls!

Men and women,
Peoples
We shall build a works
For life!

Our children are dying
In the poisonous stink
Without sun
In strangled hovers.
The world is a dungeon.
Men and women,
Peoples,
No step back!
We shall build a works
For life!

Our children are dying
In the choking stink
With earning for sun eyes
And we? - Breathlessly
Bend our necks,
And keep silent
Disgracefully silent!

We passed nets
And in them timidly runs our-
Yes, our blood
Passes
The conducting nets
And makes our life go.
And it sweeps us away,
Draws us away

And we watch it
With dull, naive carelessness
With nails scooped we the rocks.
In the granite tunnels we probed.
We girded the earth with railroads
In its bosom
We found everything

Antennas are netting the sky where
In mist
Skyscrapers are probed
And much higher in the zephyr
Steel ravens are croaking!

Comrades,
Let’s put it clear-
I don’t stop the progress
I know it quite well,
Not the progress is what is us strangling
And we shall not ruin it down-
We shall build a works
An enormous works
With strong concrete walls!
Men and women,
Peoples
We shall build a works for life!
