Autumn

 

stari ambar / pun sena i mirisa / livade
old barn / filled with hay and / meadow's scent

jesenji sunčev zrak / u šolji čaja uskovitlan / srebrnom kašičicom
an autumn sunbeam / in a cup of tea - / stirred up with a silver spoon

jesen stiže… / pauk plete gušću / mrežu
autumn comes…/ spider is knitting / a dense web

pred buru / na svakom talasu / morski konjic rže
before the storm / sea horse is neighing / on each wave.

po usecima / zaostalo pramenje / magle
down the ravines / remained locks / of a fog

presušio jarak / kroz slomljene trstike / zviždi vetar
a dried ditch / wind is whistling through / broken reeds

groblje / bezvremene senke / večnom spokoj
the grave yard / timeless shadows / in the eternal peace

zmajevi i deca / pod oblacima jašu / na vetru
kites and children / ride on the wind / under the clouds

more / istrajno udara / o školje
the sea / steadily pounds / at the reef

krik orla / premostio strmine / klisure
eagle's cry / is spaning the steeps / of ravine

pala flauta / partituru na stalku / lista vetar
the flute has fallen / the wind is leafing the score / on the stand

utihnu topot / za konjanikom hajka / uvelog lišća
stamping is gone / behind a rider a hunt / of withered leaves

nevreme / jarboli se ustremljuju / na munje
a storm / the masts are attacking / the lightenings rays

prasak groma / razapete mreže / hvataju munje
claps of thunder / the stretched nets catch / lightening rays

vetar njiše / golo granje topola / i jato vrana
the wind swings / the poplar's leafless branches / and flock of crows

kroz oblake / crna krila gavrana / češljare nebom
through clouds / black wings of ravens / comb the sky

odraz barke / po površini mora / gužva mlak vetar
blip of barque / on tne surface of the sea / rumples the limp wind

o drveni dok / jutros tuku talasi / ode tišina leta
on wooden jetty / the waves beaten this morning / summer's silence goes
