Charles Bukowski - THOSE GIRLS WE FOLLOWED HOME

the girls we followed home devojke koje smo pratili kui

(slobodan prevod s engleskog na srpski jezik)

the girls we once followed home are devojke koje smo nekada pratili kui
now the bag ladies, sada su kloarke,
or one of them is that white-haired ili je jedna od njih ona sedokosa
old crone who stara smeurana baba koja
whacked you with her te zveknula svojim
cane. tapom.
the girls we once followed home devojke koje smo nekad pratili kui
sit on bedpans in nursing sede na guskama u starakim
homes, domovima,
play shuffleboard at the public igraju aflbord u
park. parkovima.
they no longer dive into the ne uranjaju vie u
white-capped waves, zapenuane talase,
those girls we followed home, te devojke koje smo pratili kui,
no longer rub their bodies with oil ne mau vie svoja tela uljem
under the sun, na suncu,
no longer primp before the ne lickaju se vie pred
beautiful mirror, lepim ogledalom,
those girls we followed home, te devojke koje smo pratili kui,
those girls we followed home te devojke koje smo pratili kui
have gone somewhere, nekuda su otile,
some forever, neke zauvek,
and we who followed them? a mi koji smo ih pratili?
dead in wars, dead of heart mrtvi u ratovima, mrtvi od
attack, infarkta,
dead of yearning, mrtvi od neutoljenih enji,
thick of shoe and slow of gegajueg koraka i usporenog
speech, govora,
our dreams are tv dreams, nai snovi su tv-snovi,
the few of us, malo nas,
so few of us remember tako malo nas pamti
the girls we followed home. devojke koje smo pratili kui.
when the sun always seemed to kada sunce kao da je uvek
be shining. sijalo.
when life moved so new and kada se ivot kretao tako nov i
strange and wonderful neobian i prekrasan
in u
bright dresses. svetlim haljinama.
I remember. ja pamtim.
