Ok, I'll try. The Bulgarian text has to be read literally, like transcription. I'll put an accent with a capital letter.

KOlko mrAchna, maglIva, zlA Utrin
kOlko shtAstie v mEne pribrAh
razpilEni ot dnEshnoto Utre
kOlko spOmeni stOorih na prAh

KOlko smiAh e vav bOlka prevArnat
Kak topI se dobrOto v maglA
umorEno pri men shte se vArne
vsIchko hUbavo, zIvo edvA

KOlko mnOgo neshtA premalchAhme
kOlko pAti govOrih bez glAs
kOlko strAh pomezdU si sabrAhme
alA vse tAi be prAzno sred nas

I otnOvo bez glAs shte se pItam
kOlko mAlko ni triAbvashe. Pak
da zivEia bez teb shte opItam
No ne znAia vse Oshte kak. Kak?

English:

What a dark, foggy, evil morning
So much happyness hidden in me
Scattered by today's tommorow
So much memories burned to ashes

All the laugh, turned into pain
And the good melts in the fog
everything nice will come back to me
tired, barely alive

All the things we kept silence about
all the times I silently spoked
all the fear we gathered between us
but it was still empty here

And I'm asking myself again, voiceless
did we really need that much?
I'll try again to live without you
But I still don't know how. How?

I don't think it's ok... And in BG it sounds more... Meaningful.
