Tired Memories (For Jela) ~ Umorne Uspomene (Jeli) Poem by Jankovic Zoran

It seems to me, sometimes,
that you are there and say:

"Hey, am I here?
Don't fall asleep."

I open my eyes
and I say to the empty room:

"I'm here, darling, I'm not sleeping.
I'm just resting my tired memories."

Umorne uspomene (Jeli)

Učini mi se, ponekad,
da si tu i da kažeš:

"Hej, ja sam tu?
Nemoj da zaspiš."

Ja otvorim oči
i kažem praznoj sobi:

"Tu sam, mila, ne spavam.
Ja samo odmaram
moje, umorne uspomene."
