Poetry

by Tatjana Debeljacki

u svemiru                                            in the open space
dodirnu zvezde                                   touched the stars
 od pene                                              made of foam

 

 

 

snaga molitve                                     the power of prayer
 ozivljava namucene                           revives the tortured 
kroz saosecanje                                  through compassion

 

 

 

istocna kapija                                     the eastern gate
 za prolazni ciklus                              for the passing cycle 
razlicitosti                                          of diversity

 

 

 

zdravice                                             the toasts
 u visinu sija                                       in the heights it is shining
plavi safir                                           the blue sapphir

           

 

 

bujicu strasti                                       torrents of passion

bdiju ognjene oci                                fiery eyes are hovering

nadvi se suton                                     the dusk leans over                                        

 

jin i jang                                             the yin and yang
strastvene niti vecne                           passionate threads are eternal
dana i noci                                          of days and nights

 

cvetna haljina                                     floral patterned dress                         
nebo i more plave                              the sky and the sea of blue
strasti                                                 passion

 

cvece u cvetu                                     bloom in the bloom
cvet je cvetu cvece                            bloom is a bloom to the bloom
strast odise                                        passion is exuding

 

oblak prasine                                     the cloud of dust                                             
od milijardi godina                            billions of years old
strast pepela                                      the passion of ashes

 

u zoru se dan                                      at  dawn the day 
budi u sjaju bremena                          wakes up in the burden glow
razborita strast                                               the prudent passion

 

 

srecu se zima                                      the winter encounters
i prolece punoletne                             the spring adult passion 
krilate strasti                                      with wings

 

 

oplemenjena                                       refining
prolecna svanuca                                dawns in the spring
sapati strasti                                       whispers of passion

 

 

orao dolinom                                      in the valley the eagle 
staklena amajlija                                amulet made of glass                                   
strast opojna                                       intoxicating passion

 

zdralovi plesu                                                cranes are dancing
uzburkane strasti                                 ruffling passion                                    
jedrenjaci                                           the sailing ships
