Stihovi
Plava zvezda
Iza šuma, iza gora, iza reka, iza mora,
žbunja, trava,
– opet noćas tebe čeka čudna neka zvezda plava,
zvezda prava.
Čak i ako ne veruješ, probaj toga da se setiš.
Kad zažmuriš i kad zaspiš, ti pokušaj da je čuješ,
da odletiš,
da je stigneš i uhvatiš i sačuvaš kad se vratiš.
Ali pazi:
ako nije sasvim plava, sasvim prava,
mora lepše da se spava, da se sanja do svitanja,
mora dalje da se luta,
– tristo puta, petsto puta,
mora druga da se nađe… treća… peta…
mora u snu da se zađe na kraj sveta
i još dalje iza kraja – do beskraja.
Mora biti takve zvezde.
Šta se čudiš?
Pazi samo da je negde ne ispustiš dok se budiš.
Pazi samo da se negde ne izgubi,
ne povredi.
Takva zvezda u životu mnogo znači, mnogo vredi.
Ja ti neću reći šta je ova zvezda plava,
zvezda sjajna.
Kad je nađeš – sam ćeš znati.
Sad je tajna. |
English Translation
The Blue Star
Beyond the forests, beyond the mountains, beyond the seas ,
behind the shrubs, grass,
– again for you tonight awaits a strange blue star
true star.
Even if you don’t believe it, try to remember it.
When you close your eyes and fall asleep, try to hear it,
try to fly away,
try to catch it and reach it and hold on to it when you come back.
But watch out:
if it’s not truly blue, truly true,
the sleep must be nicer, the dreaming must last till dawn,
the wandering must go on,
– three hundred times, five hundred times,
another one must be found… the third one… the fifth…
the end of the world must be reached in your sleep
and even further beyond the end – to infinity.
That star must be out there.
Why do you look so surprised?
Just be careful not to drop it when you start to wake up.
Just be careful it doesn’t get lost somewhere,
that it doesn’t get hurt.
Such a star in your life means a lot, it’s worth a lot.
I won’t tell you what this blue star is
what this shiny star is.
Once you find it – you will know it.
It’s a secret for now. |
