Lišće treperi....
Pepeljast oblak na nebu
nigdje ne stiže.

The leaves fluttering ..
The ashy cloud in the sky
arriving nowhere.

Razoren grad.
Vjetar zavija ne znajući
kuda bi krenuo.

A demolished town.
The wind howls not knowing
where to go.

I ovaj se dan
nasmijao do suza
u žuboru potoka.

Even this day
laughs to the point of tears
in the murmur of the brook.

Seoska staza
tri leptira lete
u tišinu.

A village path
three butterflies flying
into silence.

Sjene plešu po
sjenama. Vjetar je
stao na zidu.

Shadows dance upon
the shadows. The wind ceased
on the wall.

Biti do pojasa
u vodi: ni čovjek
niti - riba.

To be waist-deep
in water: neither man
nor - fish.

Sred prazna grada
gladne žrtve rata
hrane golubove.

In the deserted town
hungry war victims
feed the pigeons.

Uništen prostor -
vjetar se zaustavio
pod divljim kestenom.

Destroyed area -
the wind has stopped
under the horse chestnut.
