guzva u gradu -
bucna gomila mladih
klice slobodi

mass in the city –
the noisy crowd of young people
claims to democracy

praznik slobode -
dete na ramenu oca
mase zastavicom

freedom celebration –
the child on the father's shoulders
waves little flag

.
uzbudjeni govornik --
snovi o slobodi i
demokratiji

excited speaker --
dreams of freedom
and democracy

.
jesenji vetar
nikog ne otera sa trga --
sanjaju slobodu

autumn wind
makes nobody leave the square --
dreams about freedom

.
drzim se cvrsto
svojih misli o slobodi --
smutna vremena

I keep firmly
to my thoughts of freedom --
gloomy times

.
bogosluzenje --
u crkvi palim svecu
i za slobodu

church service –
I light a candle
for freedom, too

.
na mitingu kisa --
oni bez kisobrana
placu za slobodom

rain on the meeting --
they without umbrellas
weeping for freedom

.
miholjsko leto --
da li ce nas grejati i
sunce slobode

Indian summer --
will the sun of freedom
warm us too

.
oktobarska fotka:
svi drugari na trgu
masu slobodi

october photo:
all my friends at the square
wave to freedom

.
umorni spavac --
misao o slobodi
trze ga iz sna

the tired sleeper --
a thought of freedom
wakes him up
