Poslednja nevesta [English translation]

The wedding emissary is in the streets

village women worrying about what to bake

It seems to me like somebody is getting married?

It had to happen eventually

I was the first to mow that lawn

I talk more than I should

Come on...If I wanted to, I would have asked for her hand in marriage a long time ago....

wind polishes the crowns of the branches...

Tamiš river carries pond lilies...

Resume: what is the worthless youth worth now?

All that together is insignificant

Memory is a funny magnifier

it makes small things appear bigger

Careful with that violin

it longs for silence

like when you tickle little angels with the tip of the violin bow

don't mention her

the world won't stop because of that

she won't be the first one getting married

There is nothing easier than lying to yourself

nothing easier than drink yourself to death

nothing harder than searching in vain

among hundreds of others I tried to assemble her

the heart flutters, the thought hesitates

waiting for things to happen

sorrow sounds nicer when you sing about it

a song can endure everything...

Sometimes God is a real comedian

on acclivity he adds burden

and pushes the unreachable to be reachable

God is good - depends to whom

Better don't ask about it

I'll go mute or I'll curse

Slowly, uncle Šanji,

you knew what she meant to me,

like when you crochet a spiderweb with the tip of a violin bow

when in front of the church she throws the bouquet,

let it fall down, like cursed

let her be the last one that got married...

Only pain is certain in life

luck is carried by some very slow postman

it doesn't matter...only that I pull through this night

tomorrow I'll find a better excuse.
