Obicham Te - Обичам те

Azis, a prominent Bulgarian pop-folk singer, delves deep into the emotional turmoil of love and loss in his song 'Obicham Te - Обичам те'. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover grappling with the departure of their beloved. The opening lines set the stage for this emotional journey, describing the day the beloved decided to leave, turning the world upside down for just one day. This decision, though painful, is acknowledged as a right everyone has—to choose their path and seek happiness.

The chorus, with its repeated declaration of 'Obicham te' (I love you), underscores the depth of the singer's feelings. The desire for the beloved's touch and the pain of their absence are palpable. The phrase 'Obicham te do bolka' (I love you to the point of pain) encapsulates the intensity of this love, highlighting the agony of separation. The singer's admission that they cannot live without their beloved further emphasizes the profound impact of this loss.

In the latter part of the song, the singer reflects on the futility of trying to hold onto someone who has chosen to leave. The metaphor of a 'golden cage' suggests that even if the singer wanted to keep their beloved close, it would be impossible because they have wings—they are meant to be free. This acceptance of the beloved's freedom, despite the pain it causes, adds a layer of maturity and selflessness to the song's narrative. Azis masterfully combines heartfelt lyrics with a poignant melody, creating a powerful anthem of love, loss, and acceptance.
