PODNE - NOON ---my favourite one

Nad ostrvom punim cempresa i bora,
Mlado, krupno sunce prži, puno plama;
I trepti nad šumom i nad obalama
Slan i modar miris proletnjega mora.
Ljubicaste gore, granitne, do svoda,
Zrcale se u dnu; mirno i bez pene,
Površina šušti i celiva stene;
Svod se svetli topal, staklen, iznad voda.
Prah suncani trepti nad ispranim peskom,
I srebrni galeb ponekad se vidi,
Svetluca nad vodom. I mirisu hridi
Mirisom od riba i modrijem vreskom.
Sve je tako tiho. I u mojoj duši
Produženo vidim ovo mirno more:
Šume oleandra, ljubicaste gore,
I bled obzor što se proteže i puši.
Nemo stoje u njoj srebrnaste, rodne
Obale i vrti; i svetli i pali
Mlado, krupno sunce; i ne šušte vali,-
Galeb jos svetluca. Mir. Svuda je podne.

transation PODNE-NOON

Above the island full of cypresses and pines,
Young,huge sun fries,full of flame;
and blinks above the forest and the coasts
Salty and dark blue smell of sea in the spring.
Purple hills,made of granite,all up to the arc of the sky,
Mirrored themself in the bottom of the sea,silently and without foam,
Surface is bubbling and kissing the rocks;
The sky is warm and sparkled,glassy,above the water.
Dust of sun is dancing above watered send,
and silver coloured seagull sometimes catch your eye,
it blinks over the water.And sea rocks smell
Smell on fish and dark blue heat.
Everything is quiet.And in my soul
I see this prolonged calm sea:
rose-bay forests,purple hills
and pale horizon,smokey and infinite.
Mute and silver stand in it,fertile
coasts and gardens;light and fallen
Young,huge sun,and no sound of waves,-
The seagull still shines.Peace.Noon is all around.

Oči



Beskonačne tvoje oči, mlada ženo,
Dve duge večeri u pustinji mora;
Dve sumorne bajke što uznemireno
Imaju šum slutnje u granama bora,

Dve mirne galije s crnim zastavama;
Dve žene u crnom, na molitvi neme;
Dve ponoćne reke kroz kraje od kama;
Dva glasnika bola koji kroz noć streme.

Oči moje žene, mračni triumf ploti,
Koje večnom tugom opijene behu,
Svoj su prostor našle u njenoj čistoti,
A svoj car nebeski u njenom grehu.

Od suza prosutih u velika bdenja,
Te beskrajne oči sijaju se s toga,
Dalekim i čudnim sjajem ushićenja,
Kao neke oči što videše Boga.

Čuvaju na svojoj beskonačnoj mreži
Sve tamne ekstaze snova koje sanja,
Oči nepregledne, na čijem dnu leži
Velika i mračna slabost očajanja.

Eyes

Your eternal eyes,young woman,
two long nights in the desert of sea;
two dark scared fairy tales that have
a hint of doubt in the branches of pines.

Two silent ships with black flags
two women in black,quiet on their prayers.
two midnight rivers through sharp landscape
two messengers of pain that hunt by night.

Eyes of my woman,dark triumph of body
that were drunk with eternal sadness
found their space in her purity
and their heavenly kingdom in her sin.

From tears shed in huge vigil
those endless eyes shine just for that
with distant and strange shine of anxiety
like some eyes that have seen God himself.

On their endless net,they keep
all dark ectasies of dreams they have,
Unclearly seen eyes,on wich bottom lies
dark and big weakness of despair.

Pesma ženi



Ti si moj trenutak i moj sen
i sjajna moja reč u šumu
moj korak i bludnja
i samo si lepota koliko si tajna
i samo istina koliko si žudnja.
Ostaj nedostižna, nema i daleka
jer je san o sreći više nego sreća.
Budi bespovratna, kao mladost.
Neka tvoja sen i eho budu sve što seća.
Srce ima povest u suzi što leva,
u velikom bolu ljubav svoju metu.
Istina je samo što duša prosneva.
Poljubac je susret najlepši na svetu.
Od mog priviđenja ti si cela tkana,
tvoj plašt sunčani od mog sna ispreden.
Ti beše misao moja očarana,
simbol svih taština, porazan i leden.
A ti ne postojiš, nit' si postojala.
Rođena u mojoj tišini i čami,
na Suncu mog srca ti si samo sjala
jer sve što ljubimo - stvorili smo sami.

A SONG TO A WOMAN

You are my moment and my shadow
and my glorious word in a silent sound.
my step and my wantonness
you are beautiful just as much as you are a secret
and truth as much as you are lust.
Stay unreachable,silent and distant
because the dream of happiness is more than happiness.
The history of heart is in the tear that falls
and soaks its love in vicious pain.
The only truth is in the dreams of your soul.
A kiss is the most wonderful encounter.
You are made of my visions
and your sunny gown of my dreams embroidered.
You were my enchanted thought,
a symbol of all vanities,prone to defeat and cold.
But you do not exist,and you never did.
Born in my silence and loneliness,
you shone on the sun of my heart,
because everything we kiss-we made it ourselves.

Sweets for my feet
Sugar for my heart...
What can I eat?
You can eat my shoes.
Is it high in calories?
Only if it's got chocolate.
So I won't eat...
my shoes.
