Vagner's Adagio ~ Vagnerov Adađo Poem by Jankovic Zoran

Vagner's Adagio

I remember the time when you were like Adagio.
Flaunting, timid and full of imagination,
supple and naive as a woman in love.
You felt the need to belong to someone.

Suddenly, your unstable nature opened
terrible spirit of the most toxic bottle.
You became a loaf, untouchable,
full of rough cuts in tones
as if you are constantly
listening to Wagner's music.

While you were only looking at your picture
in the blurred mirror of reality,
I wrote you farewell letters:

"When you realize that Wagner's music
can never be Adagio,
You will know why I had to leave."

Vagnerov Adađo

Sjećam se vremena kad si bila kao Adađo.
Plašljiva, lepršava i puna mašte,
podatna i naivna kao zaljubljena žena.
Osjećala si potrebu da nekom pripadaš.

Tvoja nestalna narav je otvorila
strašni duh iz najotrovnije boce.
Postala si ohola, nedodirljiva,
puna grubih rezova u tonovima
kao da stalno slušaš Vagnerovu muziku.

Dok si gledala samo u svoju sliku
u zamagljenom ogledalu stvarnosti,
napisao sam ti oproštajna slova:

"Kad shvatiš da Vagnerova muzika
nikad ne može biti Adađo,
znaćeš zašto sam morao otići."
