Planine - Montains - A Poem by Zlatko Tomicic - JCS 21

A Poem by Zlatko Tomicic

PLANINE
MOUNTAINS
Ponosno i mirno
planine stoje.
Ljubovce oblaka,
uspinju se
do hladnih visina.

Kako ste lijepe,
planine moje!

Proud and peaceful
Mountains stand
Clouds' lovers
Rising
Into cold heights

How beautiful you are
My mountains!

Ne poznajem
sreću vašu,
ni sunce vaše
što, izdaleka,
pada u moju
tamnu nizinu.

Ne znam od čega ste
mirne
i spokojne tako.
Uvijek sam žudio
vašu blizinu.

I know not
Your happiness
Nor your sun
Which, from afar,
Reaches into my
Dark lowliness

I know not what makes you
Peaceful
And so still.
Always I yearned for
Your nearness.

PRPIĆ
