Waiting for love, poem by Selma Kopic, Bosnia and Herzegovina

 WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT

When earth and sky meet,

when birds begin to swim and fish to fly,

when stones begin to speak

and people lose their voices,

when fire gets the color of the sky,

and the sky gets the color of fire,

when heaven and earth come closer

and become one body,

then you and me will breathe as one,

and our hearts will beat in harmonious rhythm.

All we have to do is

wait for that great turn,

because our hope lives

as long as we believe in miracles.

Until then,

think of me when the sun sets on the far horizon,

as I think of you every night and every dawn.

💙💙

MI SAMO TREBAMO ČEKATI

Kad spoje se zemlja i nebo,

kad ptice počnu da plivaju,

a ribe da lete,

kada kamenje počne govoriti,

a ljudi izgube glas,

kad vatra dobije boju neba,

a nebo dobije boju vatre,

kad se nebo i zemlja pibliže

i postanu jedno tijelo,

tada ćemo i ti i ja disati kao jedno,

i naša srca će kucati

ujednačenim ritmom.

Ostaje nam samo

da čekamo taj veliki preokret,

jer naša nada živi

dokle god vjerujemo u čuda.

Do tada,

misli na mene

kad zalazi sunce na dalekom obzorju,

kao što ja mislim na tebe svake noći

i svakog svitanja.
