Jesenji motiv
Jesenji motiv
Jesen u Zagreb posve tiho došeta
u papučama bez peta.
Tek okom trepneš, a već su njeni puti
zasuti lišćem što žuti.
Ćilim se rujni pred njom podatno pruža
satkan od uvelih ruža.
I tko je sretne, namah tražiti stane
mahnito minule dane.
I ja ih tako u lišću tražim i ištem
pred žutim sveučilištem.
Pado sam i ja tu, da bješe milota,
na ispitima života.
Pa ipak zviždim đačku ariju lijepu
s rukom u praznome džepu.
Jer negdje u suncu, teška, još neobrana
i moja se svija grana.
Autumn Motif
Autumn Motif
Autumn arrives very quietly in Zagreb
wearing heelless slippers.
In the blink of an eye its paths
with yellow leaves are covered.
Before it a red carpet is spread
made of withered roses.
And whoever meets it, at once
looks for the past days frantically.
I also look for them in the leaves
and ask around yellow university.
Where I was falling
at life exams splendidly.
Though I still whistle students' pretty melody
with my hand in a pocket that's empty
As somewhere in the sun, with fruits, heavy my branch keeps bending.
(translated by Božica Cvjetković)
