1. Šćućuren cvrčak.
Zaglušna kiša bubnja
po listu bokvice.
A crouched cricket.
Deafening rain drums
over the beech’s leaf.
2. Miriše lipa.
Na klupi gradskog parka
dvije grlice.
Fragrance of linden.
On the bench in the city park
two turtle-doves.
3. Svake večeri
cvijet se ruže skriva
u vlastitu sjenu.
Every evening
the rose flower hides
in its own shadow.
4. Kraj suhozida
na užarenom kamenu
spečeni brabonjci.
Near a dry stone wall
on a hot stone
baked droppings.
5. U praznoj žari
čuvam sjenu mrtvaca.
I vjetar s mora.
In an empty urn
I keep the shadow of a dead man
and the wind from the sea.
6. Oblaci jure.
Žuna žustro u banderu
otkucava kišu.
Rushing clouds.
By knocking into the post the woodpecker
announces the rain.
7. Galeb kreči.
Vjetar s trambuline
skače u more.
Shriek of the seagull.
From the trampoline the wind
jumps into the sea.
