Unnecessary Long Life ~ Bespotrebno Dug Život Poem by Jankovic Zoran

I loved three women with a heart
and I have 64 years.
When I share my love
each belongs to 21 years.

I will not experience new love
because I would have to live 88 years.
So much was my dad when he died.

He said that I'm a good poet
but even for a poet to whom
The third love killed the heart
It's an unnecessary long life.

Bespotrebno dug život

Volio sam srcem tri žene
a imam danas 64 godina.
Kad podijelim ljubavi
svakoj pripada po 21 godinu.

Novu ljubav neću doživjeti
jer bih morao da živim 88 godina.
Toliko je imao moj otac kad je umro.

Govorio je da sam dobar pjesnik
ali čak i za pjesnika kome
je treća ljubav ubila srce
to je bespotrebno dug život.
