Spoj na kraju ulice
A Date at the End of the Street
Prođoh ulicom našomu prvi sumrak, jučer.Vidjeh te, na trenutak,na prozoru tvoje kuće.
Yesterday, at early dusk,I walked along our street.For a moment I saw youat the window of your house.
Rekla si, dragana, doćimeni, da ljubim ti lice.Ja sretan pođoh tada,do kraja naše ulice.
You said you would come to me,so I'd kiss your face, my sweet;happy, then, I made my wayto the far end of our street.
Čekam, a studen me bije.Magla se spušta plava.Na nebu zvijezde se palei grad polako već spava.
I am waiting; cold bites hard.Blue, the mist comes settling down.In the sky the stars are kindling,slowly, sleep has claimed the town.
Već ponoćna kuca ura,bol mi je stegla srce.Ti nisi došla, draga,na spoj, na kraju ulice.
Midnight's striking on the clock,pain has seized upon my heart.You did not come, my darling,to our date at the end of the street.
