2. proljetna kiša

poskakuje poklopac

zakipjelog graha

the lid is hopping

over boiling beans

koje nema

extending a hand

the beggar hides the other

he hasn’t got

dječaci igraju

mali nogomet

the boys are playing

a little football

5. u svitanje

mjesec i moja večera

sasvim ohlađeni

at daybreak

nebo je prepuno

božićnih igračaka

a serene sky is flooded

with Christmas toys!

inhaling below a linden

the wind’s shadow

tri ljeta od očeve smrti

miriše škija

Christmas morning;

three years from my dad’s death

the smell of his tobacco ...

voda za pranje vimena

isparava u staji

chilly November:

water for washing the udder

steaming in the cowshed

12. ledeni mjesec

vruć božićni poljubac

nakon ponoćke

hot Christmas kiss

after midnight mass

13. svojim paperjem

vrbine mace miluju

prašnjave kacige

with their fluffs

willow catkins caressing

dusty helmets ...

14. nastupa zima;

očevim češljem gladim

svoju kosu

winter setting in;

with my dad’s comb

I stroke my hair

15. jesenski suton

sova je ulovila huk

neke druge

- autumn sunset -

an owl caught a hoot

... of some other one ...

pa makar svijet propadne

žuti jaglac

... early spring -

even if the world has gone to hell

a yellow primrose

kako pristaju muhare

uz bijele breze

in the grove

it’s wonderful to see fly agarics

... by white birches

u lokvici

a blind man’s stick

listening to water

in the puddle

od danas počinje

moja starost

from this day on

... my old age begins ...

u suhom rozeu

a gang of bikers jerks into

blossoming cherries

koja će me poljubit

on the birthday cake, two flies

... agree to kiss me ...

a potom grmljavina

napuni prazne čaše

lightning on the terrace

afterwards the thunder fills

... our empty glasses ...

24. božićni snijeg

e, kad je nešto bijelo

bijelo je!

this whiteness

in white!

kako je teško

voljeti muhe

the flies

snijeg se pretvara

u cvijeće

into flowers

na pletenoj stolici

sjedi molitvenik

krava pije

svoje rogove

a cow is drinking

her horns

the scent of firs

from chillness

sestra je osmijehom

proširila nebo

my sister widens the sky

with her laughter
