Unnecessary Lies ~ Bespotrebna Laž Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Unnecessary lies

You used to know that you were crying.
You would just say, "I'm crying."
I would make you laugh with my, stupid jokes.

You used to know you used to laugh.
I knew your Smily by the way you acted.
I would say that you are the Most Beautiful.

When you became the Most Beautiful,
To the usual question, you said arrogant:
"You do not need to know that"
I knew the answer and I didn't
tell you that I know your name.
Your name is Unnecessary Lying.

Much earlier my love died.
Unanswered questions were only
painful duration without any sense.
I felt freedom when I left you forever.

Bespotrebna laž

Nekad si znala da plačeš.
Samo bi rekla: "Plačem."
Ja bih te zasmijavao
mojim, glupim šalama.

Nekad si znala da se smiješ.
Poznao sam tvoj Smily po
načinu kako si se ponašala.
Ja bih bi rekao da si Najljepša.

Kad si postala Najljepša
na obično pitanje rekla si oholo:
"Ti ne treba to da znaš"
Znao sam odgovor i nisam ti rekao
da znam kako se zoveš.
Tvoje ime je Bespotrebna Laž.

Mnogo ranije je umrla moja ljubav.
Pitanja bez odgovora su bila samo
mučno trajanje bez smisla.
Osjetio sam slobodu
kad sam te ostavio zauvijek.
