Text

NA ME POGLED TVOJ OBRATI                NOW YOU CAST YOUR EYES UPON ME

Na me pogled tvoj obrati                Now you cast your eyes upon me
i ti vidi me na mire *                  And you look me sitting at wall
vidi vidi jednomkrati                   Do look, do look for one moment
koj' za tobom sved * umire.             One that's dying ever for you.

Da je tinta sinje more                  For the ink is bluish ocean
da je knjiga ravno polje                For the book is a great plain field
jos ti ne bi ispisala                   They still couldn't write you in full
sve me gorke nespokoje.                 All my bitter restlessnesses.

* mir = zid
* sved = vazda
