So that beefcake video that first brought bearish Bulgarian performer Azis to my attention seems to be making the rounds under the the name of "the Gay Bear Video". Although many have commented, "Who cares if you can't understand what he's saying?" y'all know I'm simply not wired that way. I managed to find the full text of the lyrics, but no translation into English or another language I know, so it looks like I'll be teaching myself some Bulgarian to crack this nut.

Chorus (with English glosses):
Но казвам ти стига,
but tell-1S-PRES you-NOM/DAT reach-3S.PRES
недей ме убива,
don't me-ACC kill-INF?
недей да ме палиш,
don't give?-IMP me-ACC burn.IMPERF-2S.PRES
ах, защо го правиш?
oh, why it-ACC do.IMPERF-2S.PRES

Free translation:
I tell you it's enough
Don't destroy me!
Don't set me aflame!
Oh, why do you do it?

Well, there's a half-hour gone.
Аз от твойта красота,
че полудявам.
Аз от твоята ръка,
почвам да треперя.
Аз в твоите очи,
почвам да се давя.
Аз в твоите коси,
искам да се давя.

Въздухът ми цял разбиваш,
направи се, че разбираш.
Ах, ако трябва излъжи ме -
колко ме обичаш.

Припев: (х2)
Но казвам ти стига,
недей ме убива,
недей да ме палиш,
ах, защо го правиш?

Аз не съм единствено само съм те имал,
аз не съм единсвено - вярвах, че живея.
Аз не съм единсвено - чувствах, че си в мене,
аз не съм единсвено - можех да се смея.

Въздухът ми цял рабиваш,
направи се, че разбираш.
Ако трябва излъжи ме -
колко ме обичаш.

Припев: (х2)
Но казвам ти стига,
недей ме убива,
недей да ме палиш,
ах, защо го правиш?

Припев: (х4)
Но казвам ти стига,
недей ме убива,
недей да ме палиш,
ах, защо го правиш?

How did this happen? How is it that your journal is not the first place I read about crossdressing Romani bear popsingers wailing in Bulgarian? Huh?

Because, truth be told? Azis annoys me. :: laugh ::

And you forgot one OTHER major step. Crossdressing Romani bear popsingers wailing in Bulgarian that APPEARED IN EUROVISION. :: nodnodnod ::

Pwned by Wikipedia!

He also performed alongside Mariana Popova in the Semi-Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Let Me Cry".

There is no infinitive in Bulgarian. For infinitive constuctions да + non-past conjugated verb is used.
I don't have a Bulgarian dictionary and I speak Macedonian which doesn't have the exact same word убива. The word does seem to have the root 'kill'. I'd say it's 3S present (imperfective) of 'kill'. If that helps.

Аз от твойта красота,
I-NOM from your-DEF beauty (I think this should be твоята not твойта)
че полудявам.
FUT go crazy-1S

my many spacebars didn't come through, so the morpheme trans isn't aligned. Sorry.

Still perfectly understandable. I can't believe I forgot about the no-infinitive thing. I mean, c'mon, Balkan Sprachbund, like duh!
