Ivan Vazov - Starry night (translation by the composer)
Starry night. The world is dormant.
Mighty nature sleeps
and as though life has stopped
around the world and in the skies.
Yet, life continues
that mysterious life of nature-
is the mighty, boundless ocean dead,
if it does not move?
Something stirs
in the mute vastness,
the darkness reflects
and silence speaks;
it is as though life breathes:
mountains, forests, shadows,
and the stars sing gathered
high up in the skies.
