Ne žuriti I ne dozvoliti Požurivati se Kad naraste Narašće, Kad dođe Doćiće Svet Ima tokove svoje I vasiona Kucka Žuriti Je borba Borba protiv vetra! Nek te nosi I bacaka To je cela poenta.

Čisti kao sneg beli, Beli da ne mož’te biti belji! Mladi sneg će doći i nama ove zime! I zablistati od čistine! Pokriće svo sivilo ovog sveta! Dok sneg sija pod oštrim zimskim suncem, Senke će pokazati svoje pravo lice… Odbaciti senke prošlosti, Kao Petar Pan poletiti! Malo čarobnog praha i ljubavi drugarske, Da nam donese Nedođiju ko iz bajke naše, Balkanske. Ću, ću voz promene kreće!

Knedla u grlu Gorak ukus u ustima I saznanje Da nikad nećeš doći Slika bez lica Oči bez zenica Samo šuplje Bez ikoga I pogled u pod I pogled u nebo Nema poente Ni nema smisla Samo neko sivilo I nepoznata mučnina Vrtlog od svačega Tu ima… Samo tebe nema

There is a new little star on the sky tonight And it shines with a soul bright, Tomorrow… And all the days to come, Eternally… The nature, Can be tough to us… And the destiny Might seem unjust But there is a new star now, Eternally… Sleep now, Little star You’re in our hearts… This is not a goodbye But just a hug for you While you sleep on the sky, Eternally…

Boli me… Tvoj glas… Reže kao nož Kad se lepo naoštri… Nosim te ja Kao čarapice ko zna koje boje. Nosiš i ti… Njega ili nju? Nosiće i ona Nešto ili nekoga…. I tako pomeraju se, Pomeraju svi… Život nas vrti Kao ringišpil… Ne znam zašto Verovatno ne znaš ni ti! Možda jer te Nešto drugo boli, Pa sam ti ja tu Na rukohvatu. Kako zaustaviti, Kako sprečiti, Kolo nesreće Kad jedno neće… Ili ne ume, Ili ne može! Zbog toga teško je kriviti, Ali i teško je miriti… Možda pustiti?! Al čarapice plave ne daju! I ne prestaju!

I say, Let it fall into place You say, Let’s fight for it! You walk the line Straight with no fear, I avoid the truth, And wait for it… Here and there I find you in me But it is schwer To follow it… Such a force So fierce And strong Love you Tacili!

The little terracotta chair I don’t like to see put away! You have a place at the table Even when you’re not there… You’re so much more Than what meets the eye: The window to a whole new world for us through your little eyes… You bring all the little beauties To shine! A lady bug, Wassermelone, And swim googles You wear even there is No water around… Love you my little diver, My little sailor, Explorer, Of a new kind!

A simple truth That you taught me Early on… That I seemed to have forgot, But it’s so strong. The Balkans, No one wants to be… Holds a truth Passed on Through living. Moderation, And integration, Those words are not just, It’s our way of being For centuries past. I stand by it, As you also did, One finger missing But a heart of living steel. Miss you my deka Leko.

The Tree of Life You said — The tree holds the ground, The tree doesn’t allow For soil to slip down. The tree holds the earth, The tree is a place to be — The shade, The Lichtblick. Don’t cut it down You’ll lose that ground!

The chosen one, Turn around, This is not a Hollywood movie Of how you’ve become… Gaze piercing ahead, There is a lot to be said, Rushing and pushing yourself, You need to slow down! And contain the fire instead. Mamma Mia! This is a speed boat Like nothing before Tweak your engine And drink some gasoline Kiss Kansas bye-bye now.

Those eyes… Those tiny fingers… Your little smile. You look at me as if I’m the child. You fill my heart with love And endless rhyme… How can something as new, Be so profound? You are my wonder Older than time! Love you my girl, My heart, My big little everything!

Or a moth? Beatle or scarab alike? Who cares really? It’s the inside That is flying around, Looking for a flower To land on. Not the other way around! Projecting what’s inside We see what we want to see… The real world doesn’t exist It’s just a picture on the wall. Of a cave Of a shadow Or a hummingbird…

Saying bye now To a boy in colors, Sad to see someone like you go, A loss for this world in sameness… A legendary spirit Flowing through canvases, Always bright And cheeky! Saying bye now To a boy in colors No matter what The flamingo sun will come.

Kad vatra plane, ni čizmom je ugasiti nećete. Gaziti je možete— dok u plamenu sami ne izgorite. Jer plamen nije običan plamen. Ovo je plamen dostojanstva i znanja, i gori već dugo u nama. Što ga više gušite, to snažnije nadire. U ćošak smo stigli— i nema dalje, osim vama pod čizme. Gorećete sada, nema vam spasa. Zmaj znanja guta— bez čekanja.

Okice tvoje Sreću zrače, Kao male pače Na sve strane razigrane… Vidim te Kako polako rastes, I ne znam šta bi više Da usporim ili ubrzam Tvoga lica razvoj. Ne mogu Da ne žudim, Da vidim kud ćeš ići, I gde ćeš sve stići. Pritom sve tako brzo leti, I plaši me dal ću moći da se setim Svih tih trenutka malih, I tvojih okica zlatnih…. Nek leti, i nek stane, Vražije vreme, Oke tvoje beskrajne i večne, Svetle u najdražem kutku Mog’ srca ludog.

Ponekad sednem i pustim da propadnem kroz kauč do srca sveta, ne bih li osetio duh vremena. Kao vatra u ognjištu i vreme igra, i plamti — ponekad lagano, ponekad naglo, ali u srži konstantno. Igramo i mi uz vatru, nekad veselo, nekad tužno… A na kraju sve se svodi na to: Uhvati ritam i pleši, pleši, pleši, kako znaš i umeš.

You seek to be What you seek in others You are good at it Just not for you! Can it be That you need to turn it around And point it towards yourself And be both the kind and the brave What you need And what you are Are one, And the same!

You thought I am the one You thought I’ll be big But I am not Like a plant That just sprouted I feel lost Where to go What to become I just know I’m eager to grow Give me fertile soil And sun To do so Let the journey begin A journey with no road But a path to find and leave expectations behind I shall do my best Encouraged but not judged That is the smile That I keep In my mind And my eye!

Everything you say to me Is not the point Not the alcohol Not the smoke It’s the energy You direct towards me The energy that feels Like a stab in the guts I truly don’t know Where this is coming from I just know It hurts me and Cuts me deep I need to go And leave this behind As it feels Like I’m at the end of Love of mine

Ateista u duši, Al pred slikama današnjice I to se ruši… Bože, Ko god, Šta god bio, bila, bilo. Nadam se Da si dete, Radoznalo, I iskreno u duši. Nadam se Da si žena, Milosrdna, I jaka. Nadam se Da si i muško, Zaštitnik, I blag. Ko god da si, A nadam se Od svega po malo. Pogledaj nas I okreni ogledalo svima Da nadju tebe u sebi I drugima.

Three T-shirts Two pair of swim shorts And a pair of sneakers And you’re good to go. You might swim You might hike But mostly You’re sitting in one of those cheap plastic chairs With your but Sticking to it From sea or sweat Who cares… When your swim shorts Become even your pyjama And your skin crusty Like a suckling pig You know you’re there For the warm, starry nights That become your second day, No need to sleep You’ll have your winter rest. But now, You’ve arrived to stay For the summer In Orahovac.

Sitting here On your side of the couch Life seems different, Warmer, Closer. But also Tighter, And less comfortable… This is not about You putting a stake in the ground This is not about You defining your limits It’s about alignment About connection And direction We both are heading It feels out of place Like we are going fast But not the same way Like we used to. Me for my side I’m too much in my thoughts And it’s tiring Hence the lack of support For my justification I started this out of love To both of you But now it’s becoming an obsession I like it A lot I have to say It has become my thing And this is where the problem lies In my tendency to lose myself My feet are off the ground Yet this feels so precious It feels so precious Cause I never burned for anything Like I burn for this It’s my thing I feel Nothing though is as precious As you And Alba So let’s find a way to integrate Align And connect To feel each other And to find back Love you

The threat of darkness Is upon us, The threat of losing Ourselves Lean into it And you might find That darkness Was once light We just forgot To hug it Embrace it As it is ours It is mine too! The softness Will brings us closer The patience will Let us unite Slow down And reach out There is a hidden path In the darkness That will lead us To inner light…

I’m afraid That I might fail, Fail you and Fail her… There is so much inside That seeks to break out, I don’t even know Where to start. I feel the tension In the heart And I feel the turmoil In the soul. Why is it That it feels like Either or, And not both… I want to integrate I want to be whole But something inside Says no!

Korak po korak, Koračam mirno. Dubok uzdah I mesta za predah. Osetiti druge. Osetiti sebe. Ne žuriti! Jer u žurbi, Osećaj se gubi I smisao sa njim. Ne preterivati, Ne glumiti, Ne gurati, I ne biti guran. To je cilj! I jednog lepog dan Ćemo stići Ja i ti. A i ako ne Ne mari Jer živeti život Jednačina nije. Jer život je priča, Priča bez beskraja!

Zgazih upravo Jedan mali cvetak. Koga je sve krasio mogo’ Izbrizah nogom… Princ Ili princeza, Šlic Ili lepeza… Pocivaj mirno Cveticu mali Samo ti nosiš Istinu u glavi. Pitanja česta Šta donosi cesta Odvajanja se brišu Dok koracamo kroz kišu!

Vidim te U svoj snazi. Vidim te Dok decu paziš… Nije lako, A ne shvata svako, Da je posao naš, Da ljubav osete baš! Vidim te Da ti fale. Vidim te Da nema tolko šale… Porodica je jedna, A porodica druga Nema tog duha, Već udarničkog bubnja. Vidim te Nije lako. Vidim te Da borbu boriš… Velike su sile, A retke su vile Kao ti, kao ja, U borbi do beskraja. Vidim te I vidim sebe Vidim nas I vidim druge. Teško je pomiriti tuge, A u srcu reci se gube. Nosim te tu, Ko zagrlja one noći, Kad si rekla “Polako — sve će doći Na mesto svoje.” Moje i tvoje. Tvoje mešano meso

I choose to hug you I choose to be My whole self And I want you to see I’m more than The eye bears Imperfect In my perfect ways I want you to know That I carry the weight Of you And me But it is fine I just want you To see Me

Kad svi nemamo ništa Imamo sve Imamo jedni druge I uho, I vreme za brige tudje Materijalna nemaština Duh plodi Jer kad zajedno nemamo Sve se svodi Na stvari ustvari bitne A ne samo stvari, stvari, stvari Kad je manje više Zašto i dalje čekamo gorke kiše Da naucimo To sto već znamo Da zlato nije ono sjajno Već srce žarko Darovano drugom kad nimalo nije lako.

White for hope, white for peace! This mess needs to stop!!! We need to unite, And not fight! The bigger foe, Is not the other, It the inner ghost, That always wants more… Fight the greed, Fight the hate, Join the caring, Join the loving, Let’s show the humanity, Some humanity, And this blue marble of ours, Some loving colours!!! Peace.

Kad utihne rani život Utihne i budućnost Budućnost nade Budućnost nedorecenih stvari Kad utihne rani život Utihne i prošlost Prošlost svih zagrljaja I toplih stvari Kad utihne rani život Utihnemo svi Svi mi, Kao deo ljudskosti.

Svice zora Cvrkuce nesto Boli me glava Rime nema Jer sam odavno Zaspati trebo Muti se vid Muti i glava Strpljenje gubi I bas mi se spava

Let’s take a step back And look into the eye The eye of hope That we carry by To be in love Is to love the truth The truth of being blind And getting by Getting by As a human condition Let us lie to me and you And a whole lot of I The truth is I love the mirror That you hold While I polish the error That you avoid And that is perfectly fine. Cause there is no time To be perfectly in love But to learn to love imperfectly And love the imperfection That is I.

Come to peace My dearest one Come to peace There is no one Alike you And you know it’s true My dearest one You bring love and care Wherever you are You bring pride and dare Wherever you stride You use and share Whatever you find You look into the hearts And you have seen mine This should be enough To know why We are bound Forever In this little universe Of mine. Come to peace My dearest one You are loved beyond And back

What you see Is what you get Doesn’t apply here Nor does it stand ground Here nor there Nor anywhere The eye sees What the eye wants to see The brain thinks What the brain used to think An image A play A word That is just a ray A ray of truth That is hidden to the eye Than the eye sees What it wants to see A mirage Of the way things were Not the way they truly are

What is it? And what is it for? Chosen, Or blood one. If people you care most about, Are people who hurt you, Why bother? If they don’t see you as you are, If they don’t treat you, the way you treat them, Why bother? Where do you go, When stars begin to fade? Where do you go, When you feel lonely? I wanna let go, I wanna forget, But I can’t… Then again who says I’m right? Why not live the way others do? Because this is the price, The actual price I pay, For being different And loving my way.

Znam da pokusavas da me zastitis Znam da pokusavas da me upozoris Da li znam Znam da si volela deku više od svega Znam da on nije znao tebe da voli Da li znam Znam da voliš kad je neko nedostupan Znam da voliš kad je neko daleko Da li znam Znam da tebe volim Znam da tebe volim To stvarno znam

Kako je moguće, Voleti te, Toliko. Kad ni noć, Ni umor, Nemaju šta reći. I kad telo kuka, Al srce lupa, Alba, Alba. Nisam verovao, Nisam ni slutio to, Da za tebe sve bih dao. I kad mogu, I kad ne mogu, Izbora nemam. Samo da mi budeš sretna. Jer ljubav za tebe, Mera nema.

Kažeš odluči sam, Kažeš budi jak! A kad kažem — Tako ću! Pitaš šta ti je!? Kako se nositi Sa savetom prenetim? Pogotovu kada — Savet sebi daješ! A to i ne priznaješ!? Ogledalce, Ogledalce… Okreni ga k’ sebi! Ja svoje guram, I radujem svemu. Nek me djavo tera, Jer nemam više tremu!!!

Dva leptira Nekad dva putnika Jedan još uvek putuje Drugi mirno mudruje Pak na neki način Putevi slični – Dok jedan mudrost traži U drugima Drugi putuje po mislima.

Kad bolujes ti, Bolujemo svi! Jer vezu nas leta I buhtle vrele. Jer vezu nas torte I slavlja česta. Kad strahujes ti, Strahujemo svi! Ali ne vredi strahovati, Jer sve će to proći, I vreme će doći, Kad ćemo opet zajedno slaviti. Jaka si ti! Uz tebe smo svi!!! Ljubac Janko

Još jedna paklena noć Ne znam sto Ne znam kud Od užasa se bar u stvarnosti može pobeći Ali kud se skloniti kad su u samoj glavi!? Kako se boriti Ili pak pustiti Ili pisati Pisati o strahu koji nije strah Već stid Muškosti Ne znam kako vi Ali mene nasilje plaši Ponajviše kako na njega odreagovati A snovi prate To sto nam tiho ne da spokoja Igra skeletona I bejzbol palica I muškarac Bez svoje muškosti.

I’m a prisoner In a cell Constructed Of love. Love for you My dear friends Love for you My dearest family. Love of the picture You created Of myself. But the change Comes creepingly, Creaking With silent steps. We still move forward With love Spinning away. One step forward, Two back… It never stops The dance of love. Until death do us part Your or mine.

Hej da na nam je svima Tvoja radost u ocima, Prema novim mestima I ljudima! Možda još puziš, Možda te ni metar nema, Ni godinu punu, A srce već veće od svega! Albi draga, Nema većeg vraga, Krades mi srce Svakoga dana!

Pun mesec Spavaju svi Osecaj plahti Ne da mi sni! Mašina u pozadini, Misli u prolazu, Mir, I mahovi prošlosti Svetlost ekrana Na njemu si ti Sanjaš li? Ili mi se čini? Osećam buku, I dreku daleku, I nadam se Da te neće probuditi. Spavaj mi Albi I lepo mi sni, Da se jednoga dana Sve to ostvari.

Jaganjci našeg vremena Biće zaklani na altaru Prošlosti. Vi ne vidite Kuda ovo vodi, I struje voda podzemnih. Vreme će pokazati svoje Dok nas bude, Jer bol nas vodi. Bol za vas, Bol za sve sto nas okružuje, Bol božiji. Lepota će istrajati, I pobediti, U jeku vedre večnosti.

Hej! Moja mala Albice Imas te divne okice Ko vasione dve; I te male rukice I zagrljaj veći od me’ Cupkas ti, Cupkam i ja, Cupkaju blese dve, Al dok cupkamo, Zaboravim bas sve. Šta bih dao samo, Da nikad ne stane Ovaj nas ples blesavi. I da gledam taj smeh Sve dok me ne bude.

Dva oka kao vile, Vire iz dubine, Pogled koji blaži, Gube se daljine. Dete AVNOJA, Dete neispevanih pesnika. Devojcurak razvoja, Devojcurak Senjaka. Nosiš u sebi smrk Proteklih bitka. Boris ih i ti, Borimo i mi. Zivotna komika, Bez drama i igara, Nosiš teret prošlosti, I naše budućnosti. Nije lako biti fin, Ali ti, Kako nekada, Tako i sada Živiš primer Blagosti. Voli te tvoj Jacika

To live the life with full lungs Means to breathe the cold air of change To follow the flow of the song, The song of the road — Step by step You march forward, Silently Always looking for moments of serendipity, The little window of improbability. Always looking for opportunities, Where others shed the possibilities. Superpositioning seemingly opposites, You create a path, Silently

Kad udari dno Tišina koja lomi, Brodolom Kapije smrti Kapije spokoja Kisa sipi Kaplje mi niz prozor Suza u oku Skriveni pogled u prozor Pogled tvoj Reci koje prodiru kroz oklop Duh I spirito santo Amen Tih zvuk ruže Dok miruje uz tebe Dovidjenja Laura Laka ti zemlja
