Kao talas [English translation]

Somewhere our universes touch

When I think you’re sleeping,

The satin makes noise, the darkness becomes disturbed,

And then like a wave, you arrive.

In the shell of your belly button, a summer is hidden,

You keep traces of sun in there.

The longing rhymes with your touch

While you like a wave, invade.

Chorus:

And nothing matters anymore.

The evil and fake face of the world

Disappears in a minute.

And no one else matters anymore,

Everyone is contemptible and trivial sand,

The sand under us.

The silvers of December coin a ring for your finger,

Down your hands a star is falling.

I’m trying in vain to attach myself to you like to a cross,

When you like a wave, move away.

You leave salty clear drops

And a cluster of Istra* scent you develop in the room.

You leave a misleading pledge of foam

On this cracked rock of my heart, onto which you’re breaking.

Chorus:

And nothing matters anymore.

The evil and the fake face of the world

Disappears in a minute.

And no one else matters anymore,

Everyone is contemptible and trivial sand,

The sand under us.
