She was born and lived in the seaside town of Burgas.
Dubarova published poems in youth newspapers and magazines such as: Septemvriyche, Rodna Rech, and Mladezh (Youth). Her poetry touches on many eternal subjects like love, the sea, the rain and the youth. Albeit her young age the poems show the language and outlook of a much more mature person, and she certainly was a talent prematurely gone from life.
Some of her poems became songs, very popular in Bulgaria since the 1980s: Зимна ваканция (Winter holidays), Пролет (Spring), Доброта (Kindness), Лунапарк (Fun-fair), Нощ над града (Night over the city).
Dubarova committed suicide via sleeping pills overdose on December 4, 1979 at the age of 17. She left a note that says:
"Измамена (Deceived)
Младост (Youth)
Прошка (Forgiveness)
Сън (Sleep)
Спомен (Memory)
Зад стените на голямата къща (Behind the walls of the big house)
ТАЙНА (SECRET)".
Dubarova"s poems have a style of certain frivolity, full of pastel colours and romanticism.
