You found me by accident
in your most beautiful memories
but don't call me again.
You put me in a scrapbook comfortably
as a four-leaf clover
which meant something to you.
You shouldn't have said
that you didn't have time,
that life took you another way
and you didn't forget me.
Ephemerality it's always
a mark for the past.
If she was beautiful,
she would stay like that.
A living man is not an album
with expensive pictures.
A friend hung about a sheet of paper
over time it becomes
like a casual passerby
whom you are calling loudly
in vain in the bustle.
So don't call me again.
Stay in me a nice memory.

Lijepa uspomena
Pronašla si me slučajno
u tvojim, najljepšim uspomenama
ali nemoj mi se javljati.
Udobno si me smjestila u spomenar
kao djetelinu sa četiri lista
koja ti je nešto značila.
Nisi trebala da reći
da nisi imala vremena,
da te je život odveo drugim putem
i da me nisi zaboravila.
Nekad je uvijek oznaka za prošlost.
Ako je bila lijepa nekad ostane takva.
Živ čovjek nije album sa dragim slikama.
Prijatelj okačen o listu papira
vremenom postaje slučajni prolaznik
koga uzalud dozivaš u gradskoj vrevi.
Zato nemoj mi se javljati.
Ostani i ti moja, lijepa uspomena.
Well expressed thoughts and feelings. Very heartfelt with strong emotions. Thanks for sharing, Jankovic.
