Za tebe ljubavi moja
Išao sam na trg ptica,
i kupio sam ptice
za tebe ljubavi moja.
Išao sam na trg cveća,
i kupio sam cveće
za tebe ljubavi moja.
Išao sam na trg železa,
i kupio sam okove,
teške okove
za tebe ljubavi moja.
A zatim sam otišao na trg robova,
I tražio tebe,
ali te nisam našao
ljubavi moja.
Žak Prever
For You My Love
For you, my love
I went to a bird market
and I bought a bird
for you my love.
I went to a flower market
and I bought a flower
for you my love.
I went to a junk market
and I bought a chain
a heavey chain
for you my love.
And I went to a slave market
and I searched for you,
but I couldn’t find you anywhere
my love.
Jacques Prévert
