5000 Miles Away ~ 5000 Milja Daleko Poem by Jankovic Zoran

I never had a real picture about you.
Just for a moment a long time ago
I thought we loved each other.
He was short-lived,
but I felt pain for a long time.

Later You were my habit
like a decent man every day
welcomes the neighborhood.
 
Now that you are gone forever,
I understand that you,
who live 5000 miles away from me,
are so far away from my soul.

5000 milja daleko

Nikad nisam imao realnu sliku o tebi.
Samo za trenutak nekad davno
pomislio sam da se volimo.
On je kratko trajao a bolio je dugo.

Kasnije si mi bila navika
kao kad pristojan čovjek
svaki dan pozdravlja komšiluk.

Sad kad te zauvijek nema shvatam da ti
koja živiš 5000 milja daleko od mene
odavno si u mojoj duši toliko daleko.
