SO TRENUTKI

 

Mogoče smo tu res sami odrasli,

a spet se je nekaj zgodilo,

mogoče pogled, in spet je

ponižana do golega in v hipu je

grlo do vrha polno joka.

 

Mogoče si je res česa zaželela,

ampak saj se je trudila in naredila

vse prav in do konca previdno.

So trenutki, ko tudi otrok

ne zmore več.

THERE ARE MOMENTS

Maybe we really are all adults here,

but then it happens again,

a look, and she is stripped

of all dignity,

her throat filling instantly with tears.

Maybe she truly longed for something,

she really tried and did everything right,

cautious to the very end.

There are moments when even a child

can bare no more.

(Translated from the Slovenian by Martha Kosir)
