The Story Behind the Song
“What Did They Take From You” is a song about a child growing up surrounded by fear, violence, family struggles and hardship, who nevertheless chooses a different path. About turning pain into strength and choosing not to pass evil on to others. Love was not taken away — it remains.
Lyrics
Труден живот... алкохол, страх и насилие, истинско безсилие... безсилие. Заобиколени от жестокост, скандали, семейни драми и парични проблеми... Истинско безсилие... безсилие.
А ти си още малко дете... без утеха, и имаш братя с мечти... Къде са вашите безгрижни дни... защо ви ги отнеха... защо ви ги отнеха? Истинско безсилие... безсилие.
Можеше да тръгнеш по лош път, много като теб вече го приеха. Защо ви го отнеха... защо ви го отнеха? Но не... не, не, не... ТИ избра друга посока.
Ти стана добър човек, не мразиш и не нараняваш. С живота се справяш и злото забравяш.
Твоята болка стана твоя сила, твоята усмивка е истинска магия. Животът можеше да те направи жестока, но ти избра друга посока. Можеше да носиш гняв в сърцето, можеше да мразиш този свят... но ти избра да даваш обич... Въпреки че много ти отнеха... много ти отнеха...
Ти стана добър човек, не мразиш и не нараняваш. С живота се справяш и злото забравяш. И вместо да предаваш болката нататък, ти я превърна в... любов. Раздаваш се за другите... без остатък.
От безсилието... към силата. От болката... към любовта. От онова малко дете... до човека, който си днес. Ти стана добър човек, не мразиш и не нараняваш. С живота се справяш и злото забравяш. И това... е твоята победа. Любовта... не ти я отнеха.
Не... не ти я отнеха... Не... не ти я отнеха...
Translation
A difficult life... alcohol, fear and violence, true helplessness... helplessness. Surrounded by cruelty, endless fights, family drama and financial problems... True helplessness... helplessness.
And you're still just a little child... with no comfort, and you have brothers with dreams... Where are your carefree days... why did they take them away from you... why did they take them away? True helplessness... helplessness.
You could have taken the wrong road, many like you have already gone that way. Why did they take them away from you... why did they take them away? But no... no, no, no... YOU chose a different path.
You became a good person, you don't hate and you don't hurt. You face life head-on and leave the evil behind.
Your pain became your strength, your smile is a true kind of magic. Life could have made you cruel, but you chose a different path. You could have carried anger in your heart, you could have hated this world... but you chose to give love... Even though they took so much from you... they took so much from you...
You became a good person, you don't hate and you don't hurt. You face life head-on and leave the evil behind. And instead of passing the pain along, you turned it into... love. You give yourself to others... completely.
From helplessness... to strength. From pain... to love. From that little child... to the person you are today. You became a good person, you don't hate and you don't hurt. You face life head-on and leave the evil behind. And that... is your victory. The love... they could never take from you.
No... they could never take it from you... No... they could never take it from you...
