Ishtar Alabina sing at South West Festival, Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. This is a new festival for the city of Blagoevgrad and lasts two days - from June 25 to June 26, 2022. An hour away from Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, Blagoevgrad welcomes Ishtar with open arms, despite the rain that rains for more than two hours. Ishtar sang on the first day of the Festival. She sang the song "Я кажи ми облаче ле бяло" ("Little White Cloud"). Tell me, cloud white" is a poem by Ran Bosilek (Bulgarian author of children's books), which gained wider popularity under the name "Cloud white". The song is also known as a kind of anthem of the Bulgarians in exile. The writer wrote the poem in 1916 out of nostalgia for his homeland while a law student in Brussels.
Текст: "Я кажи ми облаче ле бяло"
"Я кажи ми облаче ле бяло
от где идеш, де си ми летяло?
Не видя ли бащини ми двори
и не чу ли майка да говори?
Що ли прави мойто чедо мило,
с чужди хора, чужди хляб делило?
Ти кажи ѝ, облаче ле бяло,
че жив и здрав тук си ме видяло.
И носи ѝ от мен много здраве.
Много мина, мъничко остана,
наближава в село да се върна,
да се върна майка да прегърна"
Lyrics: "Little White Cloud"
"Tell me, please, little white cloud,
Where you come from, where have you flown?2
Didn't you see my father’s house1
And didn't you hear my mother talking:
- What’s doing my dear child,
Sharing stranger’s bread with strangers?
Tell her, little white cloud,
That you’ve seen me here alive and in good health.
And send her greetings from me,
Too much time passed, little more left.
It comes time to come back to my village;
To come back and embrace my mother.
It comes time to come back to my village;
To come back and embrace my mother.
To come back and embrace my mother."
