Milos Crnjanski - To the tired youth

 


Do you still remember our awoken nights

when the lilacs casted rosy shadows,

when the ceiling resembles lustful

eyes pointing up to the sky? 


Have you felt that it hurts everywhere,

not just here: to be young.

And to carry inside your soul sort of a blurry sadness

which loves everyone it can help?


And have you ever comforted yourself 

by saying that that's what youth is:

that painful, blurry sadness?
