Amon-Ra
Ti kao Amon-Ra, glavno božanstvo starih Egipćana
i simbola stvaralačke snage i rađanja,
kao Amor, bog ljubavi i šale kod starih Rimljana i kao Eros,
misliš ljubav sve pobeđuje i da je ljubav jača od svega
i sve ti je razonoda i igra.
Kao veoma zabavan, zanimljiv i prijatan
sa lepim manirima i odnosom sa celim svetom
na prijateljski način govoriš, a ja ti verujem,
kao u ljubavi, ljubavnica, bez suvišnih reči.
Kao stanovnik žarkog pojasa,
koji svoju senku u jedno godišnje doba
baca prema severu a drugo prema jugu,
u sredini svega, verujem tebi.
Ti si prodro u sve tajne
ringišpila, komedije, vesele muzike i ritma
u svemu što označava radost u svetu.
Sada samo na zabavu misliš.
Tako da mi je lako da te pratim
i verujem ti iznad svega.
Igramo se,
vreme samo čeka nas,
minuti su u pitanju.
Amon-Ra
You like Amon-Ra, the main deity of the ancient Egyptians
and the symbol of creative power and birth,
like Amor, a god of love and jokes of the ancient Romans and as Eros,
you think love wins everything and that love is stronger than anything
and all your entertainment and play.
As very fun, interesting and enjoyable
with nice manners and with a relationship to the whole world
in a friendly manner you speak, but I believe you,
as a mistress in love, without superfluous words.
As a resident of a bright zone,
which one shadow into one season
throws to the north and the other to the south,
in the middle of everything, I trust you.
You’ve penetrated into all the secrets
of carousel, comedy, cheerful music and rhythm
in everything that signifies the joy in the world.
Now, you think just of the party.
So it’s easy for me to follow you
and I trust you above everything.
We are playing,
time just waiting for us,
minutes are in question.
Reka
Ti koji si stanovnik pored reke
veruješ u slike malih bogova ljubavi
u staroj rimskoj umetnosti
i renesanse kao i novog doba.
U ljupku krilatu dečicu zabavljenu
raznim poslovima
vidiš ih i govoriš kao Sokrat:
“Znam da ništa ne znam!“.
Kažeš da je svet imanje bez gospodara
i da se ne zna ko je njen tvorac?
Ti kao slobodni mislilac, ni dobar ni rđav,
ravnodušan, ali ne i nemoćan.
Vidiš tu divnu decu u odsjaju reke
koja za tebe teče u beskraj i uživaš.
Imaš sigurno utočište i dovoljno vazduha
za preživljavanje svega
u zraku koji može da izazove
hemijske promene a ti možeš da ih izračunaš
samo ako želiš.
Ti živiš u svom odsjaju lika
i ja ti verujem
da svet može biti lepo mesto
ako se zagledamo u sebe.
Onda je sve jasno.
A River
You who live near the river
You believe in images of little gods of love
in ancient Roman art
and Renaissance as well as a new era.
In a lovely little winged child entertained with
various jobs
you see them and speak like Socrates:
“I know I do not know anything!”
You say that the world is a property without a master
and that it is not known who its creator is?
You as a free thinker, neither good nor bad,
indifferent, but not powerless.
You see those beautiful children in the glare of the river
which flows for you into infinity and you enjoy.
You have a safe haven and enough air
to survive everything
in the air that can cause it
chemical changes and you can calculate them
only if you want.
You live in your own reflection of an image
and I believe you
that the world can be a nice place
if we look at ourselves.
Then everything is clear.
Budi samo moj
Ljubomora u meni temeljni zid.
Sa njom sam konjanik u teškom oklopu u Francuskoj.
Ljubomora u meni dečija igrališta.
Ja, kao pihtijast, voćni sok ukuvan sa šećerom, osećam se dosadno.
U mladosti i stešnjenosti ja sam onaj zaklet profesionalni igrač.
Postajem živahan francuski ples, igram.
Muzika.
Nož za brijanje mi je ispod grla.
Ljubomora kao vodoskok iz mene iskače visoko.
Nikad nisam bila rodjena pod Jupiterom, srećnom planetom.
Moja planeta je Venera.
Pajac je moj posao.
U životu igračke pored svega osećam uživanje.
Idem kroz vreme koje i ne postoji
mereći kolcem za odmeravanje tačke, smera, pravca svoju svrhu postojanja.
Kasnim na sve poslepodnevne sedeljke i zabave.
Nemam istančan osećaj
za utvrdjene dane primanja u nedelji,
kada se nekad moglo doći u posetu i bez poziva.
Upadam, isteruju me iz celog sveta.
Ja letim, ja jedino umem da letim sa svojom ljubomorom,
da letim i kolcem
odmeravam svoje otkucaje srca
zato što te volim.
Just be mine
Jealousy in me is the base wall.
With it I am a horseman in a heavy armor in France.
Jealousy in me children’s playgrounds.
I, as a jellied, fruit juice boiled with sugar, I feel bored.
In my youth and squeezing space,
I am the professional sworn-dancer.
I’m becoming a lively French dance, I’m dancing.
Music.
The shaving knife is under my throat.
Jealousy, like a fountain from me, popping up high.
I was never born under Jupiter, a happy planet.
My planet is Venus.
To be a clown is my job.
In my life оf toys, I feel pleasure in everything.
I’m going through the time that does not exist
Measuring my purpose of existence with a stake
for point and direction measurement.
I’m late for all the afternoon seats and parties.
I have no aesthetic feeling
for fixed days of receiving on Sundays,
when it was possible to come in without a call.
I get in, they get me out of the whole world.
I fly, I can only fly with my jealousy,
to fly with my stake
and measure my heartbeat
because I love you.
