1. Na kotačima
djedovog bicikla
putuje blato
Mud travels
on the wheels of my
grandfather’s bike
2. Svjetlost mjeseca
spava na grani bora.
Budan je huk sove
Rays of moonlight
sleep on the pine bough.
The owl’s hoot is awake
3. Živim u gori
s tišinom kamena
i bukom tišine
I live in the mountain
with the silence of cliffs
and rumble of hush
4. Dječak u šumi
skuplja otpalo lišće.
Pod lišćem mina
A boy in the forest
gathers fallen leaves.
Under the leaves - a mine
5. Bažulek z zeljem,
klobasa z senfom,
pezdec vu megli.
Beans with saurkraut
sausage with mustard,
a fart in the mist.
An unmown sky
