Sirds uz trotuāra was translated in 1998. It is not the first time Čaks’ work has been translated into Bulgarian, according to the Latvian Literature Centre. The translation was supported by the literature center and the State Culture Capital Foundation (Valsts kultūrkapitāla fonds). The Bulgarian translation by Aksinia Mihailova includes selections from Sirds uz trotuāra, Es un šis laiks, Apašs frakā, Mana paradīze and Iedomu spoguļi.

Čaks, born Aleksandrs Čadarainis, is remembered in part for pushing Latvian poetry in new directions. Čaks’ collection of poems Iedomu spoguļi has been published by the Sofia-based Foundation for Bulgarian Literature, reports the Latvian Literature Centre. The work of poet and prosaist Aleksandrs Čaks (1901-1950) is now reaching a wider audience in Bulgaria, thanks to a new anthology focused on Latvian writers.
