Music and lyrics<\/a> by Plamen Sivov
\nEnglish translation by Preslav Ivanov<\/p>\n

***
\nI see, my God, Your feet are pure and clean;I bathe them in my tears \u2013 warm, yet in vain.
\nBut judge not, Lord, a woman\u2019s cry so keen;it helps me see Your death, Your holy pain.<\/p>\n

I have a vision of a wail and whip,
\na crown of thorns, as well as soldiers\u2019 cloaks,
\nand, Christ, I see Your bloody face and lips
\nwhich You are biting lest they try to talk.<\/p>\n

The senseless wrath will sway the endless crowd;
\nthe savage wind will surely knock You down;
\nand they will drag You, laughing all the while,
\ntowards the place
\nYou have been craving now.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll lift You up for You to be disgraced.
\nBeneath the cross will Mary lurch and cry;
\nshe will be looking for Your eyes but You
\nwill have upturned
\nyour gaze towards the heights.
\nShe will be looking for Your eyes<\/p>\n

And once again, they stand above the skies \u2013
\nthose cities, towns, and people\u2019s sins as well;
\nabove our heads the same eternal lightskeep rolling on their endless carousels.<\/p>\n

Through many winters, many summers too,I\u2019ve dipped my hand in time\u2019s inverted stream.
\nFrom You I\u2019ve learned what love can truly do \u2013 and light my pardoned burden now does seem.<\/p>\n

I weep. My tears drum hollow on the floor,
\nand echo every minute that has passed by.
\nYour very feet are ready to explore,
\nand all Your words, Your voice, are heard on high.
\nPerhaps bright days still wait ahead of me,
\nThe One I loved is leaving me behind.
\nI\u2019ll watch the dust where His steps used to be,
\nas shadow crawls across horizon\u2019s lines.
\nThe One I love is leaving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
