Varna 1951

And here we leave as we came
good-bye brother sea
I take with me a little of your gravel
a little of your light blue salt
a little of your infinity
a little bit of your light
and of your unhappiness.
You were able to tell us many things
about your destiny as sea
here we are with a little more hope
here we are with a little more wisdom
and we leave as we came
goodbye brother sea

And here we leave as we came
goodbye brother sea.
