Šta Sanjam I Šta Mi Se Događa ''

What I Dream and What Happens To Me”

Beyond the suburbs, far away, at the edge of the forests,

Which fearfully circle about the city,

On the steep and infertile field,

Without name or beauty,

Again I found you.

Imprisoned in a barely audible sound,

Which passes solitary through here,

It is you, sense and oblivion,

Of all the paths and dreams. 

Without dream. Without words. 

The stars themselves descend

Into the lap of a sleeping beggar girl.

That’s you calling to me again, in the sound,

And this miracle will never be declared,

But will always quietly grow in me,

Until it fills me completely

And carries me off

Like the strongest wings. 

(Translated by Pavle Ninković)
