1. Grobna tišina
Nad minskim poljem leti
Bijeli leptir
Dead silence
Above the mine field flies
A white butterfly
2. U hladnoj sobi
Zaboravljen vojnik
Skida proteze
In a cold room
A forgotten soldier takes off
His mechanical limbs
3. Kočijaš
Uzdama
Razgoni maglu
A coachman
With the reins
Dispersing the haze
4. Zeleni škoji
Raspoređuju nakit
Nasilne pjene
Green islands
Arrange jewellery
Of violent foam
5. Podnevni predah
Sunce ispunja bunar
Zvonke tišine
Noon rest
The sun fills the well
With clear silence
6. Biserna suza
Bespomoćne osame:
Školjka na žalu
A pearly tear
Of helpless loneliness:
A shell on the beach
7. Sitna mušica
Na pastirovu frulu
Tiho sletila
A tiny gnat
On the shepherd’s flute
Settled silently
8. Tuča i vjetar
Preko obrezanog vinograda
Bježi magarac
The hail and wind
A jackass running through
A clipped vineyard
9. Otkrio oblak sunce
Razbježale se ribe
Pod barkom
The cloud uncovered the Sun
The fish under the boat
Dispersed
10. Prestala kiša
Podjetinjeli potok
Zapleće jezik
The rain has stopped
A vivid brook
Entangles the tongue
11. Pred putokazom
Na užarenoj cesti
Zastala zmija
In front of the sign-post
On a red hot street paused
A snake
12. Blajski drvored
Među starim deblima
Zapinje vjetar
Tree line in Blato
The wind stumbles among
Old tree trunks
