In The Middle Of The River ~ Na Sredini Rijeke Poem by Jankovic Zoran

When you want to cross the river
never rest in the middle of the water.
Here is the soul of every watercourses.
If the river attracts you with feelings
you will, maybe, turn off the engine
and she will, maybe, steal your oars.
For sure, the river will be your guide
and you become her slave forever.

Na sredini rijeke

Kad želiš da pređeš preko rijeke
nikad se ne odmaraj na sredini vode.
Tu je duša svakog vodenog toka.
Ako te rijeka privuče osjećanjima,
ugasićeš motor a ona će ukrasti tvoja vesla.
Rijeka će biti tvoj vodič a ti njen rob.
