memphis

kad bi samo znao kako
srce tvoje ponovo da nadjem
ovaj strah da sakrijem
iza ogledala oltara

vratih se u memphis
da mi nova krila das
ljubavlju isklesana
medovinom zalivena

dok tako stojim pored
prasnjavoga puta
ni sam ne znam kud me vodi
kud mi srce luta

Tus Palabras

tus palabras dulces son,
el alimento para mi mente,
paz para mi alma,
mi abrigo atomico en una tormenta.

albatross awake

run your kite free
from pain and sorrow
we have seen
every now and then
you look down
to check on me

this chance
our treasure
last dance forever
we nest for eternity

we may fall
break a wing
above the open sea
for as long as we
stay together
like an Awake tea

Zasto?

I jastuk sa mog kreveta
Mozda u cudu
Sad neku drugu glavu
U snove nosi.
Ne vjeruje toj nepoznatoj kosi
I mozda se nada
Da ce iznenada
Voljena glava odnekud doci.
A mene u dugoj noci
Hladan kamen ostrog brida
Vuce u san, u dubinu dragu.
Sto se nisam ubio na kucnome pragu?

Duško Petrović - iz zbirke poezije "Na kućnome pragu"

i almost feel like i shouldn’t
be alone
i almost feel like an eye
of the storm
searching for a place
to calm down and stay

come along with me
before
the autumn leaves fall
enjoy
the colors from above
transitions of gray

tide

I knew...
Somehow...
That I had to stay alive.
Somehow.
I had to keep breathing.
Even though there was no reason to hope.
And all my logic said that I will never see this place again.
So that’s what I did.
I stayed alive.
I kept breathing.
And then one day that logic was proven all wrong.
Because the tide...
Came in, and gave me a sail.
And now, here I am.
I’m back...
In Memphis, talking to you.
I have ice in my glass.
And I've lost her all over again
I’m so sad that I don't have Kelly.
But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island.
And I know what I have to do now.
I gotta keep breathing.
Because tomorrow, the sun will rise.
Who knows what the tide could bring?

alone

what i do know
seams not what i truly care for
its just a lure to keep you near
ahead of fear from alone

i left my love in the big city
my little flower tulipan
it might take another lifetime
to forgive me what i've done

i must take my journey east
to the land of the samurai
to ocupy my mind and soul
ahead of fear from alone

*this i wrote back in april, few days before i rejected the job offer in japan

feel like

feel like a jew in germany
feel like rage in insanity
sorry i couldn't call you mother
they've been bombing our country

feel like crying out loud
feel like a hunger strike
feel like stop the war or
i'll commit suicide

this is the saddest i could be for free

*this is something i wrote during the nato bombing of serbia and montenegro few years ago...

vuk samotnjak

iz karantina u karantin
iz ljubavi u mrznju
napred nazad
kroz plac i smeh
glupo i nesmotreno
vredjam i cinim srecnim
lomim se i starim jak
vuk samotnjak
