1. Ne mogu kriti
otkinuo sam sunce
s tom mimozom
I cannot hide
I broke off the sun
with that mimosa
2. U mirisu mora
stare kamene kuće
rđasto crne
In the sea fragrance
old stone houses
rusty black
3. Selo u ravnici
do beskraja izrasla
jedna ulica
Village of the plains
the only street
growing endlesly
4. Vrti se žito
na listu slikara
krik sunca
The grain turns round
on the painter’s canvas
a scream of the sun
5. Pronosi jesen
između mene i nje
miris kestena
Between her and me
the Autumn carrying
the sweet smell of chestnuts
6. Mjesec i oblak
između golih grana
šapuće jesen
The Moon and the cloud
among bare branches
whispering Autumm
