Zemlja suva,
hladan vetar
vlaži oči
moja nadanja,
davno nestala
Dani, pusti
molitve
i ukus tuge
moja istina
voda duboka
Ja molim morsko dno:
“dođi spasi me,
daj mi život svoj”
Bele školjke
kamenje
i miris mora
moja sećanja
svetlost nemirna
Modra voda,
duša mi je žedna toga
pesak na moj dlan,
dubok miran san
Ja dotakla sam kraj
dođi spasi me,
život svoj mi daj
English Translation
Mermaid
The dry land,
cold wind
hydrated eyes
my hopes,
has since long ago disappeared
Days, let go
prayers
and the taste of sadness
my truth
of the deep water
I plead the seabed:
“come and save me,
give me my life”
White seashells
rocks
and the smell of the sea
my feelings
of the restless light
Blue water,
my soul is thirsty for that
sand on my palm,
a deep peaceful dream
I touched the end
come and save me,
give me my life
