Daleko

Ima jedan vetar koji kosu ne rastura I grane ne povija, Nego, samo tako, dođe odnekuda I u nama jednu misao pokrene I zašumi, meko: Da postoji nešto od nas sasvim daleko.

Far Away

There is a wind that doesn’t tousle hair

And doesn’t bend branches,

But simply comes from somewhere

And stirs a thought inside of us

And softly swishes like a whisper:

That something far from us exists.

(Source: Serbian-Canadian Association of Poets and Writers)

Far Away

There is a wind that won't mess your hair

Or bend any trees:

It will arrive once, with ease,

Stir one thought in the air,

And softly say:

There is something far, far away.

(translated by Adrian Satja Kurdija)

Far Away

There is a wind that

Doesn’t tousle hair

And doesn’t bend branches,

But, just like that, comes

From somewhere

And stirs a thought

Inside of us

And murmurs, softly:

That something exists

Quite far away from us.

(translated by Gavrilo Došen)

Weit weg

Es gibt einen Wind, der dein Haar nicht zerzaust

Und der keine Bäume biegt

Er kommt einfach so, von nirgendwo

Und bringt einen Gedanken in der Luft zum erklingen

Und flüstert sanft:

Dass etwas existiert, weit, weit weg.

(Ins Deutsche übertragen von Ricarda Vidal)
