Oko mene

Oko mene
Ko bi znao
Vetar lud se zavitlao
Zimskog sveta svetkovina
Tvoja duša, moja zima          
Ne mogu ti reći dalje
Smrt mi telegrame šalje

Around me

All around me
Who would know
Hurled crazy wind
Winter world feast
Your soul – my winter
Nothing more to add from myself
Telegram sender is death itself
