nil-e

Ti i ja

tako malo znam o tebi
talasi su doneli neke reči
tudje pa tvoje milo moje
sad ne znam ko si ti
mislila sam da te znam
mreža ne drži vodu a pesma reči
svila mojih koraka između Johanezburga i Praga
zaplešće se za deltu našeg srca
u Egiptu ćemo se sresti
poznaćeš me po glasu zelenih očiju
dok budeš gazio Nil prema meni

(16.3.2003.)



John Rogers Herbert (1810-1890)


You and me

I know so little about you
waves have brought some words
somebody else's then yours, my love
now I don't know who you are
I thought I knew you
net doesn't hold the water and the song words
silk of my steps between Johannesburg and Prague
it'll be tangled for the delta of our hearts
in Egypt we will meet
you will know me by the voice of green eyes
while you tread Nile towards me
