The Story Behind the Song
“Beyond the Smile” tells the story of someone who brightens every gathering with humor and good spirits but hides tenderness and quiet loneliness behind their smile. Always ready to support others, they long for someone to truly understand them — beyond masks, roles, and pretenses.
Lyrics
Ти влизаш в стаята и всичко притихва, смехът ти никога, никога не стихва. С чаша горещо кафе или пък с вино в ръка, събираш ни в кръг с усмивка и лека шега! Нямат значение място и час – ти пак си звездата и пееш сред нас!
Душа, душа... душата на компанията – какво клише, каква потребност, а всъщност точно тя крие най-дълбоката душевност. Но зад смехът, зад светлината ти пазиш нежна тишина. И чакаш някой да види отвъд усмивката. Отвъд усмивката — сърцето ти, душата ти!
Потапяш се в мисли някъде далеч, в нощта, където думите не стигат за света. Ти опора си за всеки, но тайничко се молиш някой да те види... без роли, без излишни етикети. Да отвориш вратата към твоя собствен свят, където си истинска, без грим, без маски и сюжети.
Душа, душа... душата на компанията – какво клише, каква потребност, а всъщност точно тя крие най-дълбоката душевност. Но зад смехът, зад светлината ти пазиш нежна тишина. И чакаш някой да види отвъд усмивката. Отвъд усмивката — сърцето ти, душата ти!
Защото ти си повече от блясък и мечти – най-истинската душа, с най-топлите очи! И днес виждаме теб, отвъд усмивката — където се крият едно голямо сърце и душата на дете.
Translation
You walk into the room and everything falls silent, your laughter never, ever fades away. With a cup of hot coffee or perhaps a glass of wine in your hand, you gather us around with a smile and a little joke! Place and time don't matter — you are still the star, singing among us!
Soul, soul... the life and soul of the party — what a cliché, what a need, yet in truth, that very soul hides the deepest inner depth. But behind the laughter, behind the light, you keep a tender silence. And you wait for someone to see beyond the smile. Beyond the smile — your heart, your soul!
You drift away into your thoughts somewhere far away, into the night, where words fall short of expressing the world. You are a source of strength for everyone, but secretly you pray that someone will see you... without roles, without unnecessary labels. That you can open the door to your own world, where you are truly yourself, without makeup, without masks, without pretending.
Soul, soul... the life and soul of the party — what a cliché, what a need, yet in truth, that very soul hides the deepest inner depth. But behind the laughter, behind the light, you keep a tender silence. And you wait for someone to see beyond the smile. Beyond the smile — your heart, your soul!
Because you are more than sparkle and dreams — the truest soul, with the warmest eyes! And today we see you, beyond the smile — where a great big heart and the soul of a child... are hidden.
Lyrics — Ivanka Palavrova
