1. U centru grada
na vrućem asfaltu
uginula muha
On the hot asphalt
in the centre of the city
a dead fly
2. Poslije molitve
izgaziše maćuhice
pred svetištem
After prayers
they crushed pansies
in front of the sancutary
3. Sijevaj munjo
lakše ću naći
šumski put
Flash lightning
I’ll easier find
the forest way
4. Od dana su mi
ostala samo
stopala u snijegu
All that’s left
of the day -
my footprints in the snow
5. Tiho prolazi
mačka i tri
mala mačića
So quietly
the cat passes by -
with three kittens
6. Djevojčica je
s leptirom
dotrčala u kuću
A small girl
ran into the house
with a butterfly
7. Starica prosi
u oku joj katedrala
ruka drhti
Old woman begging
the cathedral in her eye
a trembling hand
8. Po dnu se Save
provlače krila sove.
Zagrebačka noć
The owl’s wings
drag over the Sava’s river bed.
Zagreb’s night
9. Nestankom snijega
dječak je pronašao svoju
izgubljenu loptu
Melted snow
a boy finding
his lost ball
10. List i vjetar
zajedno su napustili
jesensku šumu.
Leaf and the wind
have jointly left
the autumn forest.
11. Psi lutalice
mali crni
opet je zadnji!
Stray dogs
once again, the little black one
is the last!
12. na šumskom putu
psići su zaboravili
otiske capa
forest path
little puppies forgot
their pawprints
