Čakaj me [English translation]

My five minutes is today,

Without a tie and shoelaces.

And if you take my traces too,

I’ll be like a dancer without a partner.

My five minutes is today,

The guards are singing to their rifles.

When the sun lights up dawn to morning,

They will return songs to it.

I think only such thoughts

Which, of course, I shouldn’t dare.

And when I return I’ll be still

The one who begs you at the station:

Wait for me...

Today it seems to me

As if I can just stand on my toes

And the stars are there.

I’ll bring full pockets of them,

Does luck believe a knight?

Then I’ll be just a hero

For eternal hours we’re together,

A doormat, a shadow of your dog.

Then I’ll be a coat hanger, a potty,

Coffee in bed, a lover for both of us.

(translated by Gavrilo Došen)
