If I Ware (Joburg)~ Da Sam (Joburg) Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Imagine we can write about this city:
A town without river
but with 10 million people.
If I ware an adventurer
and You lead me to Kalahari.
If I ware bonvivan
so You take me on Melville.
If I ware jacaranda
so that you would eagerly expect me.
I would be an adventurer,
bonvivan, jakaranda.
Well, I'd be all you like,
and you would be my African Muse
who died of dreams which
she just dreamed of.

Da sam (Joburg)

Zamisli da pišemo o tom mjestu:
Grad bez rijeke
ali sa 10 miliona stanovnika.
Da sam avanturista
odveo bih te u Kalahari.
Da sam bonvivan
odveo bih te u Melvil.
Da sam džakaranda
pa da me eljno očekuješ.
Bio bih avanturista,
bonivan, džakaranda.
Dakle, bio bih sve što poželiš,
a ti bi bila moja afrička Muza
koja je umrla od snova
koje je samo sanjala.
