Najtužnija pesma

Najtužnija pesma

Znam za neizmerne i bolne samoće,

Kad sat mre nečujno, kao cvet što vene,

I kad srce prazno prestaje da hoće

Ni vence pobede ni ljubavi žene.

Znam za neprohodne samoće bez daha,

Kad konci sa svačim padnu pokidani,

I u kojim srce zastane od straha;

Kad svemu oko nas izgledamo strani.

Kad nas oči stvari ravnodušno motre,

I duša pred sobom prestravljena stane;

I sopstvena povest kad se cela potre;

I kad je od leda suza koja kane.

Ni seme u brazdi, ni stopa na putu,

I kako je teška sena koju vučem!

Kanda tuđe srce bije u mom kutu?

Sve svetle palate života pod ključem!...

Vaj, koliko puta umiremo? Ko bi

Znao za sve tmine pod suncem! I zna li

Iko sva bespuća u sutonu dobi?...

I kako smo često oči zatvarali...

The Saddest Song

I've known countless and painful solitudes

when the clock dies without a sound like a flower does

and when the heart stops to desire

crowns of victories and women love.

I've known breathless and unpermeable solitudes

where strings of life are torn apart

and where heart stops in fear.

When everything we know doesn't know us.

When eyes of the things look at us carelessly

and the soul stops in front of itself in fear

and the whole our history wanishes in seconds

and the tear is cold as ice.

Not a crop in the field nor a foot on the road

and the shadow i carry is much too heavy.

Is it my heart that beats in my corner?

all the locked bright palaces of life.

Alas,how many times we die? Who would know all the

shadows under the Sun.Does anyone knows 

all the dead ends in the night.

and how often we closed our eyes...
