Maksimović, Desanka: Warning (Opomena in English)

Portre of Maksimović, Desanka

Opomena (Serbian)

Čuj, reći ću ti svoju tajnu:
ne ostavljaj me nikad samu
kad neko svira.

Mogu mi se učiniti
duboke i meke
oči neke
sasvim obične.

Može mi se učiniti
da tonem u zvuke,
pa ću ruke
svakom pružiti.

Može mi se učiniti
lepo i slatko
voleti kratko
za jedan dan.

Ili mogu kom reći u tome
času čudesno sjajnu,
predragu mi tajnu
koliko te volim.

O, ne ostavljaj me nikad samu
kad neko svira.
Učiniće mi se: negde u šumi
ponovo sve moje suze teku
kroz samonikle neke česme.

Učiniće mi se: crn leptir jedan
po teškoj vodi krilom šara
što nekad neko reći mi ne sme.

Učiniće mi se: negde kroz tamu
neko peva i gorkim cvetom
krvavog srca u ranu dira.
O, ne ostavljaj me nikad samu,
nikad samu,
kad neko svira.

Warning (English)

Listen, I'll tell you my secret: 
Never leave me alone 
when music plays. 

It could seem to me 
that some eyes gray 
are so deep and soft, 
the eyes that are actually plain. 

It could seem to me 
that I dive into the sound 
and I could give my hands 
to anyone around. 

It could seem to me 
so easy, so gay 
to love someone 
for only one day. 

Or, I could tell someone 
my dearest, 
magically growing secret 
how much I love you. 

Oh, never leave me alone 
when music plays. 
It could seem to me that again, 
somewhere in a forest, 
my tears flow through a new well. 

It could seem to me that a black butterfly 
makes patterns on heavy water-- 
those that no one feels free to tell. 

It could seem to me that somewhere in the dark zone 
someone sings and with a bitter flower 
touches my heart where the incurable wound stays. 
Oh, never leave me alone, 
never alone, 
when music plays.
