"" ("And This Shall Pass") is a poignant pop-folk duet by the late Denis Teofikov and Malkata , released in March 2020 during the onset of the global pandemic. Thematic Review

: The chemistry between Teofikov and Malkata—who also collaborated on the hit "Poludyavash"—is evident. Teofikov’s signature soulful delivery complements Malkata’s energy, creating a track that feels both melancholic and hopeful.

The song serves as a cultural time capsule of the early COVID-19 lockdown in Bulgaria. While many pop-folk tracks focus on club life, this release took a surprisingly grounded and motivational turn.

: The lyrics on Spotify specifically reference living under quarantine, the lack of bars and discos, and even the daily briefings by General Mutafchiyski. It captures a rare moment of national unity, mentioning the "9:00 PM applause" for medical workers.

: Following Denis Teofikov's tragic passing in 2021, the song’s title, "And This Shall Pass," has taken on a deeper, more bittersweet meaning for fans, often appearing in commemorative playlists alongside his other major hits like "Akula" and "Greshka Beshe". I tova shte otmine - Spotify
