Docking bays - Pristaništa

Beograd, 29. maj 2020. godine
Docking bays

All docking bays where I waited for you
In dresses colored with hope
Listening to the accords of the harmonics
Are closing up our stories
In a room where I felt your presence
Scattered letters
Which you have sent me from every port
With the scent of the exotic oils
Were all testaments
All windows with views on
Overseas ships
Spread wings
Sails which have been tempting you
From the palm of the sailor’s hand
Have tied in a knot
A love yours and mine
So that they never for another
So that they never for another
Cast their anchors

                                                                                                      Prevod: Ivan Španjić


Pristaništa

Sva pristaništa na kojima sam te čekala
U haljinama obojenim u nadu
Slušajući akorde harmonike
Zatvaraju priču o nama
U sobi u kojoj sam te ćutala
Rasuta pisma
Koja si mi slao iz svake luke
S mirisom egzotičnih ulja
Bila su mi amanet
Svi prozori sa pogledom na
Prekookeanske brodove
Otvaraju krila
Jedrima koja su te zavodila
Iz potpalublja ruke mornara
Zavezale su u čvor
Tvoju i moju ljubav
Da za drugim nikad
Da za drugom nikad
Sidro ne bace
