Milos Crnjanski - Dithyramb

Centuries have risen you up crucified,

Oh kindred you blessed pain.

I sang the glory of the saint myrrh

poured by a vile killer.

To you, oh kindred, cause you die cheerfully,

and death is only a honor,

fiddles don't let you mature for life,

for a servant's tribute.

Our fate is to die with a roar

Haughtily scarily 'round the mountains,

To sing, to loudly crucify

Over the stones, chaos and pines:

For life shall be an honor to servants,

And above the cheerful rotten world

Whipping yourself to death as a tribute,

Like a flag bloody and holy.

Flag worthy of rebellion and killers.

Oh kindred, you are their chosen one.

Should you bow down before life with a humbly face

I will not be your son anymore.
