Дай мне ответ ( English translation ) – Astemir Apanasov

(Verse 1)
Time to find another path.
Why do I always fight with myself?
It’s long past time to forget the purity of people
Who believe lies and pray only to them.

(Verse 2)
It’s not blood that boils in my dried-up veins,
And I am no longer able to forgive you.
Don’t be sad – you will never be alone!

(Bridge)
Having extinguished my sorrow,
I feel a little pity for you.
The surf makes noise because of you,
The sun shines only through you.

(Verse 3)
I wanted to protect you
And warn you from all troubles,
But now it doesn’t matter anymore –
We are not destined to be together.

(Chorus)
Give me an answer: will it be or not?
Will your light shine in the sky again,
Without fearing to lose everything,
Come back again.

Give me an answer: will it be or not?
Will your light shine in the sky again,
Without fearing to lose everything,
Come back again.

Lyrics Meaning

This song explores the emotional aftermath of a profound betrayal or disillusionment, mapping a journey from internal conflict towards a painful, resolute letting go.

Core Themes & Emotional Arc:

• The Inner Conflict & Decision: The song opens with a moment of clarity—”Time to find another path”—that immediately clashes with a history of internal struggle (“Why do I always fight with myself?”). This sets the stage for a narrative about overcoming self-doubt to make a final break.

• Disillusionment and Lost Faith: The bitterness is directed outward at the “purity of people / Who believe lies.” This suggests the narrator feels betrayed by someone’s naive faith in falsehoods, possibly the very lies that broke their relationship. Their “dried-up veins” symbolize emotional exhaustion; what boils within is no longer passionate love, but anger, resentment, or pain.

• The End of Forgiveness & Shift in Role: The declaration “I am no longer able to forgive you” is the emotional point of no return. The narrator transitions from a protector (“I wanted to protect you”) to a detached observer who feels only “a little pity.” This pity signifies the end of shared emotional stakes—they are now looking at the other person from a distance.

• Nature as a Reflection of Loss: The poignant line “The sun shines only through you” reveals the depth of the past connection. The other person was once their entire world, the lens through which everything was beautiful. The “surf making noise because of you” further paints the natural world as an echo chamber for this lost love, now just empty sound.

• The Paradox of the Chorus: Despite the verses stating clear finality (“We are not destined to be together”), the chorus pleads for an answer and a return. This contradiction is the song’s heart: the mind has accepted the end, but the heart still holds a fading ember of hope. The plea for the other’s light to shine “without fearing to lose everything” is a wish for their freedom and happiness, even if it’s separate from the narrator.

Overall Significance:
The song captures the complex, non-linear process of moving on. It’s about the intellectual resolution to leave, clashing with deep-seated emotional hooks. The narrator is walking a new path but still glancing back, not with a desire to return, but to finally understand and close a chapter where someone once was their entire source of light. It’s a lament for the protector they once were and the destined-togetherness that never was.
