Sve boje sveta

Čudan je ovaj svet u meni
kad se od lišća zazeleni
ili poplavi kao svila
od dečije kose i ptičjih krila.

Čudan je ovaj svet u meni
kad sve požuti i porumeni.

Van mene dosta boja živi.
Van mene katkad svet i posivi,
ili se smrači i naoblači.

Dobro je zato što postoje
i ove moje lepše boje.
I neki osmeh sunčan i plah.
I vetar nečujan kao dah.
Pa sve kad trne
i sve kad svene,
kad tmurno izgleda svet oko mene,
u meni živi sto vatrometa
nekakvog šarenijeg i lepšeg sveta.

Ponekad želim da podelim
moje rumeno sa gradom celim,
i moje belo sa žutom travom,
i moje žuto sa noći plavom,
i moje plavo sa rekom snenom…

Jedino čuvam ono zeleno
za neke oči što nisu moje,
al’ iz njih rastu,
odavno rastu
sve druge oči i druge boje.

All Colours Of The World

Strange is this world inside me
when leaves turn it green
or it gets blond like silk
from children’s hair and birds’ wings.

Strange is this world inside me
when everything turns yellow and becomes rosy.

Beside me, many colours live.
Beside me, the world even turns gray sometimes,
or it gets dark and gloomy.

It’s good because there are also
these nicer colours of mine.
As well as some smiles, sunny and shy.
And the wind as inaudible as breath.
So that, when everything numbs,
and when everything withers,
when the world around me looks somber,
a thousand fireworks of some more colourful
and more beautiful world live inside of me.

I sometimes wish to share
my rosiness with the entire city,
and my white with the yellow grass,
and my yellow with the blue night,
and my blue with the dreamy river…

The only thing I keep is the green
for some eyes that aren’t mine,
but all other eyes and other colours
grow out of them,
have been growing since long time ago.
