Hug Me With a Verse
— POEM by Derviša Grabus Čolaković
(Translated from Bosnian)
Hug me with a verse and squeeze me tight,
Let your pen write our aspirations.
Shower everywhere over me your words,
And don’t ever leave me o’er.
Until the early dawn begins to be mine,
Without a horizon there is no love true either.
Sing me a song composed for me,
Don’t let me notes be forgotten.
I’ll whisper you something like best companion,
Save me from the evil eyes.
Don’t let anyone get closer to me,
You would never get over me again.
….
(Self-translation from BOSNIAN)
