Branko Miljkovic - Song for my 27th birthday

 I no longer need words, I need time

It's time for the Sun to tell the time

It's time for the flower to speak up, while the mouth deadens

He who lives badly can he sing clearly!


I believed in a dream and calamity

I was in love with two nights by night

While the South and the North in the same fruit

Ripen and chatter.


While dreaming I overslept all holidays!

And the thunder sang domesticated in glass,

Didn't I say it: put the fire back to its rightful place,

And a kiss belongs in hell.


And breads are getting educated underground;

I'd like to battle on the side of evil

But still, by mercy of history,

Throwing up I'll enter heaven too.


I declared rascals my friends,

People in love everything that sings and harms.

Until stars scratch my knees

I'll pray to the pious water.
