Miroslav Antic - Nepovratna pesma

The Nonreturnable Song

Once you step into the world
don’t ever look back.
Don’t mess around.
Don’t change your mind.
I am also running with no return.
I will never go back.
What does old sun mean,
old paths,
old doorsill?
That is what can make you grieve.
That is what you can give your heart to.
But if you ever go back
- you must know:
that is where you stop.
And stay.

…

It’s as dangerous as a snake,
as dangerous as a bullet,
when inside me forever buds
and tickles me, my new beginning.
And I wanna rush into the world.
I keep my heart still.
And close my eyes.
But once I set off - I wont stop,
because I only know to rush.
I don’t know where.
I don’t know why.
I don’t know what’s hidden there.
I only know that I can’t
here, where - the moment I stretch my leg -
someone ties me,
bridles me
puts horse-shoes on me.

It’s as dangerous as lightning.
As dangerous as a bullet
when my beginning forever snoozes inside me
and tortures me.
That’s why I elope.
Run.
Search.
Create dawn when it’s night.
Let life learn from me
to speak softly and to flow.
I am such kind of miracle
that can’t do anything little,
so, when I start - I start crazy,
impatiently,
curiously…
I don’t know what awaits for me there
in the far away fogs,
but even if i turn to gold,
or I pay a high, bitter price for all of it
I will always go forward.

I will never go back.
