Instant Love ~ Instant Ljubav Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Your love is like an instant lottery.
Naively you think every ticket
which you get out must have a gain.

You opened a ticket with my name,
gambling - slowly.
You looked at me
with an experienced view,
You paused for a moment
to make sure you got a win.

This time you made a mistake.
You should read the tiny letters
on the back of the ticket:

"When you want to get love,
You have to give love.
Your ticket was not won.
More luck in the next draw"

Instant ljubav

Tvoja ljubav je kao instant lutrija.
Naivno misliš da svaki listić
koji izvučeš mora imati dobitak.

Otvorila si tiket sa mojim imenom
kockarski polako
Gledala si me iskusnim pogledom,
zastala si za trenutak
sigurna da imaš dobitak.

Ovog puta si pogriješila.
Trebalo je da na poleđini
tiketa pročitaš sitna slova:

"Kad hoćete da dobijete ljubav,
vi ljubav morate i dati.
Vaš tiket nije dobitan.
Više sreće u idućem izvlačenju"
