Time
... / Vreme ....
veliki oblak
polako guta mali -
vreme za ručak
one big cloud
bolts another little one -
lunch time
dašak lepote
-
trenutak koji mine
donosi tugu
a
breeze of beauty -
a moment that passing out
brings melancholy
opada lišće
nikog ne očekujem
šetam usamljen
falling
leaves,
I don't expect anyone -
walking alone
chute
des feuilles,
je n'attends personne -
marchant seule
(tr.
S. Tome)
kiša lagano
dobuje - dobuje i
zrelo kestenje
the
rain is drumming
slowly - slowly are drumming
the ripe chestnuts too
po sporom
hodu
prepoznaje se jesen
kiše dolaze
by
its slow dim steps
fall can be identified
rain time is coming
nadjoh jutros
svoj
štap za planinarenje
okićen listom
this
morning I found
my mountaineer hiking stick
enriched with some leaves
zjutraj
se čudim -
moja pohodna palica
je vzbrstela
(tr. M. Hudnik)
prolazi sprovod
tek pas se tromo vuče
za mrtvim klovnom
going
to his grave
just a dog trudges along
behind the dead clown
dugo miriše
komadić istorije -
kesten pred kućom
for
a long time smells
little peace of the history -
chestnut in the yard
visoko gore
raspevan ptičji hram
blistavo jutro
very
high up -
a temple full of larksong
dazzles my morning
(tr.
an'ya)
peče se hleb
u staroj trošnoj peći
pucketa prošlost
fresh
bread is baking
in an old and worn oven
the past is crackling
du
pain frais qui cuit
dans un vieux four usé
le passé crépite
(tr.
S. Tome)
koračam putem
-
sprovode me orasi
stablo po stablo
walking
down the path -
one tree after another
nuts are leading me
rodna kuća
-
sred ruševine
izrasla višnja
birth house -
from the ruin spring up
a cherry tree
jutarnji
mraz -
kroz pahulje bučno
promiče voz
morning
frost -
through snowflakes
passing noisy train
četrdeseta
-
moj rodjendan slave samo
sede u kosi
aged
forty now -
my birthday celebrate only
gray hairs
peron u magli
-
kroz kloparanje vozova
rominja kiša
station
in the mist -
through the noise of passing train
rain is drizzling
muk praznog
gnezda -
ostaci ptičjih jaja
ispod drveta
empty
nest stillness -
remains of bird eggs
under maple tree
dugačke noge
proteže na suncu -
komarac
his
long legs
spreads on the sun -
mosquito
