1. Na livadi
nadskakuju se
dječak i skakavac.
On a meadow
a boy and a grasshopper
compete in jumping.
2. Kratak dogovor:
skitnica i strašilo
trampe šešire.
Mutual understanding:
a tramp and scarecrow
exchange the hats.
3. Uzdižući vrat,
s kraja na kraj cvjetnjaka
gazi pijetao.
Its neck outstreched,
- up and down the flower-bed -
struts the rooster.
4. Kolona guskica!
Vjetar povremeno svakoj
odgrne suknjicu.
Arow of gooslings.
The wind lifs the skirt
of each one in turn.
5. Ponad makova
u modrom nebu leprša
i pjeva ševa.
Over the poppies
in the blue sky flutters
and sings the skylark.
6. Stari spomenik
vratio se u vinograd
strašilo s osmijehom.
Old monument
- returned to the vineyard -
scarecrow with a grin.
7. Tržnica zorom
šapće o novim cijenama,
a grad još spava.
Green market at dawn
whispering about new prices
yet the town is still asleep.
8. Jato vrabaca
elegantno proletjelo kroz
jato vrabaca.
A flock of sparrows
flying through another
flock of sparrows.
9. Procvale usne
djevojci koja nosi
pregršt trešanja.
Blossomed lips
of the girl carrying
a bunch of cherries.
10. Oslonila se
o nekoliko štapova
seoska krčma.
It’s leaning
on a few sticks
the village pub.
11. Škrto ljeto.
A što možemo, ima
barem leptira.
Miserly Summer.
We have
butteflies, after all.
12. Ratna vremena:
zadarski most sam samcat
ide u grad.
Time of War:
The Zadar Bridge alone
going to the town.
13. Ratno proljeće.
Djevojka i puška
legle u cvijeće.
Spring in wartime.
a girl and the rifle
laid in the grass.
14. Jesen u gradu.
Javorov list bježi iz
smetlarskih kolica.
Autumn in the town.
Maple’s leaf runs away
for the scavenger’s cart.
15. Smokva petrovka
pet šest metara od mora
cio svoj život.
Early fig tree
- five, six meters by the sea
all its life.
16. Iz dana u dan
gušter na pragu mog doma
slobodniji je.
Day after day
a lizard on my home’s threshold
is frier.
17. Drugu u travi
kroz jesenju noć sela
cvrkut cipela.
Autumn night in village -
– my friend’s shoes
chirp in the grass.
