Žudnja
Yearning
Ako mene nekada sretneš,pokraj mene tiho prođi,pogled nemoj ti da smetneššapatom zvat ću te: dođi!
If one day we chance to meet,pass me quietly, my dear;do not let your gaze retreat:whispering, I'll call, "Come near!"
Ne mogu ti reći zbogom,ništa neka te ne čudi.Misleći na razlaz s tobom,očaj se u meni budi.
I can never say goodbye;do not wonder that it's so:when I think of parting, Ifeel despair within me grow.
Ja od tebe sad odlazims mnogo bola pa i šutnje:novom stazom sada gazim,sad ostaju ipak žudnje.
Now from you I go awaywith much pain, and silence too;on a new road I make my way,yet my yearning stays with you.
