Kratki dani
Short Days
Kad mi nježni cjelov daješi šapućeš nježno, mili,pijanstvo mi glavom prođe,kao vino da smo pili.
When you give me tender kisses,whisper softly, "Darling mine,"then my head goes light and reelingas if we had drunk of wine.
Usne tvoje tople, meke,kao perje ptice rajske.U krilu se tvome topim,k'o jutarnje rose majske.
Your warm lips are soft as feathersof a bird of paradise;in your lap I melt awaylike the dew when May suns rise.
Blagi pogled oka tvogai obrazi nježni tvoji,kad ih ljubim, cvijete mili,prekratki su dani moji.
Gentle glances of your eyesand your cheeks so soft and fine:when I kiss them, darling flower,all too short these days of mine.
Vječito ćeš moja biti,to, voljena, moraš znati.U jesen ću pred oltaromzlatni prsten tebi dati.
You will be forever mine,this, beloved, you must know:at the altar, come the autumn,a gold ring I will bestow.
Zato miluj mene, draga,i poljupce daj mi sada,na grudima mojim snivaj,to je moja žarka nada.
So caress me, then, my darling,give me kisses, don't delay;on my breast lie down and dream:that's my burning hope today.
