Spring

 

po oblucima / u svakoj kapi vode / skakuće mesec
upon round pebbles / in every drop of water / the moon hops

tek vidljiva senka / na vlat trave sleteo / vilin konjic
pale shadow / dragonfly landed / on a grass' blade

jutarnja rosa / pod tabanima / biseri proleća
morning's dew / under the feet / pearls of spring

žute jasike / skrenule sa puta / bliže potoku
yellow ash-wood / are straying from the road / closer to the brook

škripe vratnice / prole}ni vetar prolazi / bez kucanja
the gate's creacking / spring wind is passing by / without knocking

u ružin gaj / vetar udenuo / ptičiji cvrkut
into the rose grove / the wind has threaded / a bird's chirp

proleće / na banderi G-dur / vrabaca
spring / on the pole G-major / of sparrows

zatvoreni prozori / na svakom se ogleda / pun mesec
closed windows / on each full moon / looks at oneself

pauk utkao / u mrežu jutarnju rosu / sunce je suši
a spider is weauving / morning dew in a web / the sun's drying it

seoski vašar / ringišpil pun dece vrti / - novi krug
country fair / ferris wheel full of children / turns a new circle

mačka na krovu / češe svoj stomak - / pun mesec
on the roof / cat scraches her tummy - / full moon

macori / zavijajuci iz siprazja / najavise prolece
tomcats /  meowing from the bush / announced the spring
