[ČAMAC SE ISPUNIO]
ČAMAC SE ISPUNIO, obala je
opustjela, veslali smo satima,
odlazili smo i dolazili,
bijaše to jalov posao,
kazaljke nam se nisu
primicale, ipak,
doplovili smo
u srce nove zemlje,
u njem je već netko
bio;
čamac pun krvi,
njihao se.

[THE BOAT WAS PACKED FULL...]
THE BOAT WAS PACKED FULL,
the coast deserted, soon to be lost from sight.
We were rowing for hours,
we were departing and arriving.
It was a useless job,
it seemed that time stood still.
Yet, we sailed into
the heart of a new land.
And someone has
already been there:
a boat brimming with blood,
bobbing in the dead calm of the sea.
