Martina Rimbaldo‘s translation of her own poem: Rain of Solitude (Croatian to English)


Kiša samoće


 

Stojim na kiši sama

ispod tmurnog neba

slušam bilo kapljica koje padaju

propadaju u svoj kraj

stvarajući vodena ogledala na napuklim cestama

reflektirajući naša stopala

otapajući naša lica

ne ostavljajući traga

ne znajući, dozivaju prolaznost pred kojim se i vitez mora pokoriti.

Rain of solitude


I stand in the rain alone,

Under the gloomy sky ,

I hear the heartbeat of rain drops falling

creating water mirrors on cracked roads,

reflecting our feet,

dissolving our faces,

leaving no trace

without knowing it, they are colling out the transience of time

in front of which even a brave knight must subjugate.
