1. kožnata jakna
sva smočena od kiše
miris jeseni
a leather jacket
all drenched with rain
the scent of autumn
2. lonac žganaca
tri puta pregrijanih
na staroj peći
a pot of corn mush
three times reheated
on the old stove
3. u dubokom snu
lagano se pomiče
sjena na zidu
sound sleep
moving slowly
a shadow on the wall
4. ponad oltara
umjesto krova
sjaj zvjezdanog neba
above the altar
instead of a roof
a starlit sky shining
5. ledene ruže
pružile su po staklu
svoje latice
ice roses
have spread their petals
on the glass
6. zračna uzbuna.
zvuk sirene ugasio
uličnu lampu
air raid alarm.
the sound of the siren turned off
the street lamp
7. mlaka na putu
odraz grbave višnje
miris cvjetova
puddle on the path
reflection of humpy sour-cherry
the scent of blossoms
8. muha na staklu
sa druge strane kaplja
ledene kiše
fly on the window pane
on the other side a drop
of the ice-cold rain
9. pusta livada.
nježno spušta suton
prve krijesnice
a wild meadow.
twilight falling gently
first fireflies
10. vitice slaka
uz ogradu se penje
leptir kupusar
bindweed tendrils
up the fence climbs
a butterfly
