Khan Krum village

On the way to Veliki Preslav

step aside for a moment.

You will see a cozy village with its fresh and breathy aroma.

 

It bears a name loud and great

of the Bulgarian khan-ruler Krum.

To his wars he resembled,

of rigor and faithfulness he gave way.

 

And look in the dark - the window lights up.

Enter the community center "Consciousness".

And in memory of the enlightened ones

you bow down to them in silent reverence!

 

Be proud of your village, you people.

And know, it is a cradle of love.

Look up clear into the expanse

meet with joy every new sunrise!
