Family Idyll (For Neda And Vaha) ~ Porodična Idila Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Family idyll (For Neda and Vaha)

I ask, "What are you doing? "
Says:
"The master splits firewood, and I paint nails."
I'm laughing:
"Your contribution to the fight against violence."

I actually know to her is
not a matter for nails,
and it is not important to him
to split a firewood.

It's important for them
someone who knows who breathes
next to them.
It's just a matter of time
when they will admit it to themselves.

Porodična idila (Nedi i Vahi)

Pitam je: "Šta radite? "
Kaže:
"Majstor cijepa drva, a ja lakiram nokte."
Smijem se:
"Vaš doprinos borbi protiv nasilja."

Ustvari znam da njoj
nije stalno do noktiju,
a ni njemu do cijepanja drva.

Njima je važno da imaju pored sebe
nekog ko pored njih zna da diše.
Samo je pitanje vremena
kad će to sami sebi priznati.
