Desanka Maksimovic - Worry (No, don't approach me)

No, don't approach me! I want to

look at and desire your eyes from afar.

Because happiness is only beautiful when we're waiting for it,

When it gives only a hint of itself.


No, don't approach me! This sweet worry, 

waiting and fear, are more joyful.

Everything is much more beautiful as long as one's searching for it,

as long as one knows about it only by foreboding.


No, don't approach me! Why would you?

From afar only everything shines like a star,

From afar we only admire everything.

No, may not your eyes approach me.
