Jedna nezavršena garaža,
bez krova i vrata,

sa čijih zidova ispadaju
sve veći komadi cigle;

dok se iz napuklina cede
kapi neumitne istine;

sa tužnom gomilom
napuštenog alata –

nemi je svedok osujećene,
proevropske ideje.

THE OLD GARAGE

A half-built garage,
without a roof or a door,

its walls shedding
ever larger chunks of brick;

while from its cracks
the relentless drops of truth seep;

beside a sorrowful heap
of abandoned tools—

a silent witness to a thwarted
pro-European vision.
