The Story Behind the Song
“You Remain Whole” tells of a boy who endured the early loss of his father and carried that guilt and sorrow for years. Meeting true love reminds him that he was not broken by the past. Today he is a loving parent himself, turning that old absence into warmth and care for others.
Lyrics
Преди да те срещна, знаех, че имаш тежка съдба. Други щяха да се откажат, като чуят историята.
През какво си преминал, какво си изпитал и дали изобщо си цял?
Питаш се дали съм цял...
Загубил си своя баща — твоят учител, покровител, изчезнал в нощта. Душата сама избира кога да напусне този свят. Знам, че боли, но няма обрат.
Живееш с тази вина и тъга години наред, търсил си смисъл в пепелта, а си носил светлина в ръка.
Когато те срещнах, видях една огромна усмивка, прикрила спомена от тежка загуба. Видях едно добро момче с чисто сърце и знаех, че си струва.
Дали си струва...
Живееш с тази вина и тъга години наред, търсил си смисъл в пепелта, а си носил светлина в ръка.
Няма да залича твоите белези, няма да излекувам душата ти, но ще бъда до теб, когато минаваш през всички спомени.
Ще ти покажа, че животът има и друга страна — по-светла, красива, без вина. Може би няма лек за тази рана, но е по-лесно, ако сме двама.
Искам да сме двама...
Живееш с тази вина и тъга години наред, търсил си смисъл в пепелта, а си носил светлина в ръка.
Загубил баща си в онази нощ, а днес си баща с толкова топла мощ. Умен, слънчев, силен и толкова открит. Даваш на другите всичко, което не си получавал.
Но аз те виждам. Истински те виждам. Не си счупен, скъпи мой. Остана цял. Животът е твой — към него направи своя завой.
Живееш с тази вина и тъга години наред, търсил си смисъл в пепелта, а си носил светлина в ръка.
Translation
Before I met you, I knew that you had a heavy fate. Others would have given up upon hearing the story.
What you went through, what you experienced, and whether you were whole at all.
You wonder if I am whole...
You lost your father — your teacher, protector, vanished into the night. The soul chooses on its own when to leave this world. I know it hurts, but there is no turning back.
You have lived with this guilt and sadness for years on end, you searched for meaning in the ashes, yet you carried light in your hand.
When I met you, I saw a huge smile hiding the memory of a heavy loss. I saw a good boy with a pure heart, and I knew it was worth it.
Whether it is worth it...
You have lived with this guilt and sadness for years on end, you searched for meaning in the ashes, yet you carried light in your hand.
I will not erase your scars, I will not heal your soul, but I will stand beside you as you walk through every memory.
I will show you that life has another side — brighter, beautiful, free of guilt. Maybe there is no cure for this wound, but it is easier if we are two.
I want us to be two...
You have lived with this guilt and sadness for years on end, you searched for meaning in the ashes, yet you carried light in your hand.
Having lost your father on that night, today you are a father with such warm power. Smart, bright, strong and so open. You give others everything you never received.
But I see you. I truly see you. You are not broken, my dear. You remained whole. Life is yours — make your turn toward it.
You have lived with this guilt and sadness for years on end, you searched for meaning in the ashes, yet you carried light in your hand.
