Stihovi, citati... za srce i dušu

Ah! what pleasant visions haunt me
As I gaze upon the sea!
All the old romantic legends,
All my dreams, come back to me.

Sails of silk and ropes of sandal,
Such as gleam in ancient lore;
And the singing of the sailors,
And the answer from the shore!

Most of all, the Spanish ballad
Haunts me oft, and tarries long,
Of the noble Count Arnaldos
And the sailor's mystic song.

Like the long waves on a sea-beach,
Where the sand as silver shines,
With a soft, monotonous cadence,
Flow its unrhymed lyric lines;--

Telling how the Count Arnaldos,
With his hawk upon his hand,
Saw a fair and stately galley,
Steering onward to the land;--

How he heard the ancient helmsman
Chant a song so wild and clear,
That the sailing sea-bird slowly
Poised upon the mast to hear,

Till his soul was full of longing,
And he cried, with impulse strong,--
'Helmsman! for the love of heaven,
Teach me, too, that wondrous song!'

'Wouldst thou,'--so the helmsman answered,
'Learn the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers
Comprehend its mystery!'

In each sail that skims the horizon,
In each landward-blowing breeze,
I behold that stately galley,
Hear those mournful melodies;

Till my soul is full of longing
For the secret of the sea,
And the heart of the great ocean
Sends a thrilling pulse through me.

[cLo]

Što li ste vi zvijezde stražarice moćne?

Da l' ste pusta svjetla, il' ste vječne svijeće.

Treptačice smjele u beskraje noćne.

Da l' ste mrtve duše, il' nebesko cvijeće.



Zlatne ruže neba, sjajne iskre praha,

Ljubavnice božje tajanstvenog daha,

Razigrane ribe beskonačnih mora,

Vrhovi tišine od svemirskih gora.



Uvijek strasno blješću te žarnice vaše,

Kao žudne oči nekih divnih žena.

Da l' ste stvarno čuda postojanja našeg?

Il' ste samo svjetla ljudskih uspomena.

[ptičica]

Kada me gledaš tim srnećim očima, ne znam gde da gledam,
jer znam da mi se u očima vidi ono što mi je u grudima,
a ne bih voleo da saznaš da mi je srce oživelo,
nakon veštačkog disanja koje si mu dala.

Bilo je to najprirodnije disanje za koje znam,
al’ morao sam da branim svoj dvodimenzionalni život
od živog i lepog, jer dobro znam šta nakon toga sledi.
Postao sam bednik kojem je život bez života važniji od života,
pa si mi opasnost i pretnja, a ne dar, bogomdan.


Kada me gledaš tim srnećim očima, ne znam gde da gledam,
strah me da ću u njima pročitati nešto što ne piše,
da ću umisliti da imam dokaz da je i tvoje srce živo,
da mu je važno da i moje još malo poživi,
strepim da bi i meni moglo postati važno ono što je njemu važno.


Kada me gledaš tim srnećim očima, ne znam gde da gledam,
jer moj pogled tvom pogledu nije dorastao.
Tako gledaš sve drugo, zar ne?
Jednostavno, takve su ti oči,
al’ jedino mene tvoje trepavice golicaju,
jer si mi pronašla slabu tačku,
nebranjeno mesto u grudima,
za koje sam mislio da je mrtvo.


Kada me gledaš tim srnećim očima, ne znam gde da gledam,
pa pogledam u nebo, postanem religiozan,
i šapnem: hvala Ti, Bože, što ponekad postojiš.


Goran Tadić

[Nikolai Stavrogin]

I kraj! Dovršit sankom svaki bol
i tisuć jada koje dade kob
čovjeku; vrijedan žarke žudnje kraj:
utonut u smrt i u vječni san!

Jer što da trpi rug i svijeta bič
bijes tirana i zulum bahatih,
neuzvraćenu ljubav, spori sud,
i drskost vlasti, hajku nevrijednih,
na zaslugu što dižu strpljivu,
kad može sebi pribaviti mir
već jednim udarcem?

[Anestezija]

[Tabhana]

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall it reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay my head just feels in pain I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day and then you call me and it's not so bad it's not so bad and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through then you handed me a towel and all I see is you and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue because you're near me and I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

MOJA TE REČ DOTAKLA

Moja te reč dotakla
u trenu kad si odlučila
da ne veruješ nikome ko je
odrastao i ko pokušava
da te ukroti.

Kao ptica nevidljiva,
kao žuti list koji te
u šetnji presretne naglo
i upozori na pad.

Jer jesen je. Jer sve je
prolazno i sve se smenjuje.

Kao da gledaš veliku reku
u predvečerje koja odnosi
bele lađe, a iza svakog
malenog osvetljenog prozora
možda odlazi neko koga bi
mogla zavoleti
zauvek.
Pero Zubac

[ptičica]

Ne troši molitve na mene bezbožnika,
moli za predivnu sebe,
tako će i meni Bog ispuniti želju,
jer si obojici važnija od mene.
Ljubav je čudo
u koje ne moraš verovati da bi se desilo.
Možeš se ovako kao ja čuditi,
ili tako kao ti biti srećna,
jer si zbrinuta u ovom trošnom srcu,
spremnom da se suprotstavi
svakom ko bi tvom osmehu naudio.

Ne troši molitve na mene bezbožnika,
nije dobro da Bog za mene preko tebe sazna,
pa da nas strpa u isti koš
i da te kao mene prepusti samoj sebi.
Lakše je kad te neko od gore pogura,
pa dobiješ krila i možeš sve što si nekad mogla.
Zamoli ga da te zlo, dok ne ojačaš, zaobiđe
zahvali unapred,
jer ni On tvom osmehu neće odoleti.

Svog Boga nemam,
a tvom verujem, jer je tvoj
i moliću da mi veru ne pokvari
brigom za one koji ne zaslužuju
da im se ime pomene
ni na nebu, ni na zemlji,
već da mi veru za tebe čuva,
a ja ću čuvati tebe, dok me ima.

Samoća

Svoju snagu prepoznaćeš po tome
Koliko si u stanju
Da izdržiš samoću.

Džinovske zvezde samuju
Na ivicama svemira.
Sitne i zbunjene
Sabijaju se u galaksije.

Seme sekvoje bira čistine
Sa mnogo sunca, uragana i vazduha.
Seme paprati zavlači se u prašume.

Orao nikad nije imao potrebu
Da se upozna sa nekim drugim orlom.
Mravi su izmislili narode.

Svoju snagu prepoznaćeš po tome
Koliko si u stanju
Da prebrodiš trenutak,
Jer trenutak je teži
I strašniji i duži
Od vremena i večnosti.

Mika Antić

[hadzinicasa]

Dovrši svoju poslednju pesmu,
pa da se raziđemo.
Zaboravi ovu noć, kada mine.
Koga se trudim da zagrlim?
Snovi se ne daju uhvatiti.
Moje žudne ruke pritiskaju prazninu na srce
i ona mi satire grudi.

Tagore

[ronnie]

- "Every revolution deals with ethical problems. The leader… himself emphasized that only hungry people are capable of generating revolutions.
- “He meant really great things.”
- “Hunger, my friend, every hunger is a great thing. There is an ethics of the overfed and there’s an ethics of the hungry.”
Sami Michael, Aida

[LaLuna]

Meni više ništa, ni ružno ni dobro,
ne može da se desi. Ostalo je naprosto
da brojim dane, ko smjeran redov, s malom
razlikom u smislu i žestini. Treba to pojmiti
i izgovoriti, napokon, mirno: doći će
i uzeće sve, uzevši kost i meso.

A juni je mjesec u svijetu, i cvate dud,
ospu se kiše, i minu, tren prođe, odjednom,
odasvud, u visinu, uzlijeće ljubav i prepun je
polena zrak, u polenu patnja mužjaka vri,
i nebo zari ljubavlju, jer juni je
mjesec u svijetu, i dud zri.

Ona će doći. Uzevši kost i meso, uzeće sve:
olovku s grafitnim srcem na stolu, pamet i
dušu, na zidu sliku - muziku od koje soba sja,
suzu i strah, i prepun polena zrak. Potom:
mrak, mrak, mrak, mrak.

A juni je mjesec u svijetu. Ospu se kiše,
i minu. Ljubavlju gori nebo i mrljaju pisci
ruke indigom ko djeca dudom. Prepun je polena
zrak. U polenu patnja mužjaka vri.
Juni je mjesec u svijetu, i dud zri.

Da me je uopste ikada upoznala, morala bi kasnije da otkrije da onima koji osecaju duboko i koji su iole svesni nerazmrsivog spleta ljudske misli, ostaje samo jedan nacin da govore - ironicna neznost ili cutanje.

Aleksandrijski Kvartet - Lorens Darel

[Saian]

Huh! I couldn't be nobody but myself, you know that
But then they all started talking
They were talking about love being gone
In my house
They said that there ain't much left to love
Well, there's always something to love if you're familiar enough to recognize it
I mean have you cried for anything lately?
And I don't mean for your friends or your bills or yourself
I mean for this!
When do you think it's time to love something the most, child?
When it's successful and done made everything easy for us, huh? Psh!
Uh-uh, that ain't the time at all
It's when it's reached its lowest and you don't believe in it anymore
And the world done kicked it and its tail enough that it's lost itself!
Yes, that's when
When nobody cares
That's right
Nobody

[Saian]

... Make it part of the campaign, to withstand pain
Me, myself, place it all on my shoulders
And give it my all, like heavy lifting
No gain without tears and sweat
They claim blue skies with white clouds, steady drifting
When pain come to get ya, it hit ya like flu
Better times will pick ya, do what you gotta do
To earn focus in the stormy weather
Come out the tunnel to the light saying

Pain will make it better
Tell me how you feel
Look over your shoulder
Time will make it real
Give me no excuses
I know how ya feel
Pain will make it better

[al_akhisari]

..."otkako te ne volim...pitao sam ljude, kolko će to trajati, može li se umrijeti, hoću li se poslije kajati"... a.d.

..."Zato, ako ti se nekada dogodi, a to se obično dogodi svakome od nas, da se, onako kao ja, probudiš s nekom umornom tugom na jastuku, dovoljno je da samo staviš ruku na srce, oslušneš kako kuca, i već ćeš i sam znati koliko mi trebaš i kako je život velika i neobjašnjiva stvar. Imati nadu – to je, valjda, nešto najlepše što se čovjeku može desiti. Ko to ne zna, taj još ništa nije naučio"!

D. Domanović - "Kad tebe ne bi bilo"

[ronnie]

Zabranjeno je ne boriti se za ono što želiš, odustati od svega zbog straha, snove ne pretvoriti u stvarnost.
Zabranjeno je ne biti svoj pred drugima, pretvarati se pred ljudima do kojih ti je stalo, izigravati drugu osobu da bi te pamtili, zaboraviti na one kojima je zaista stalo do tebe.
Zabranjeno je ne stvarati vlastitu priču, ne imati vremena za ljude kojima si potreban, ne razumjeti da ono što ti život daje, to i uzima.
Zabranjeno je ne tražiti sreću, ne misliti da uvijek možeš biti bolji. Zabranjeno je ne znati da bez tebe ovaj svijet ne bi bio isti!
Pablo Neruda

[Rugafet]

Danas je normalno da se poludi
pola sveta se udara po nosu
duse se prodaju kupuju grudi
a ja jos sanjam tvoju crnu kosu
i jos bi hteo s tobom da se budim
moja malena


Ostajem Balkanac i provincijalac
putuj evropo srecu zelim ti ja
a ti mala kad ti zatreba muskarac
doci ces meni budi sigurna

Danas je normalno da se poludi
ljubav na kredit kupiti se moze
sve se promenilo vreme i ljudi
a ja jos cuvam tebe ispod koze
i jos bi hteo s tobom da se budim
moja malena

You Move Me

You move me.
Like fourteen years old:
The Autobiography of Malcolm X changed my life,
Roots--age nineteen.
You move me like a long, cool drink of water after the steepest hike on the hottest day.
Like Lena Horne’s grace and Alice Walker’s words and Billie Holiday’s life.
Like-- like the time I met Mr. T.
Flinging myself into his arms like a little girl at twenty-two,
overcome with an emotion I did not realize I had, you see
we of the fatherless tribe
love men differently.
Like I love Mr. T.
Sherman Hemsley/ Bill Cosby/ and Arsenio. (Yes, Arsenio!)
Because they were constants, for at least a period of time, present
in my home/ in my living room/ in my adolescence
as no other men were, so
I love them.
Mr. T.--- that is how you move me
like humility/ lessons/ joy/ grief/ daydreams/ truth:
because I am a Leo, so I walk with my head high and act like I’m cool
but really-- I am scared.
And you are the constellation that guides me home, the star that lights my path.
You remind me of love and hope and action and dignity
like Muhammad Ali we
will stand for something and
I am sensitive.
and not a morning person…
and knit picky about lint
and sometimes too emotional and other times not emotional enough
because my youth was bruised
and you massage me back to life
with your rhythm. your words. your spirit.
you move me like wind.
Like five years old:
Rabbi Neil strums the guitar: familiar.
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your might.
I pretend to read from the prayer book.
I can’t really read yet, but I pray real.
Like, twenty years old:
meeting my brother for the first time.
My smile on his face/ my eyes looking into my eyes
and so much pain behind both our eyes
that I had to look away.
Like 1984 Olympics:
Rafer Johnson was my hero
and every man in my life
will forever be compared to him
because he used to put me on his shoulders
and I was special,
if only every now and then.
You move me like Native American prayer songs,
like graffiti under freeways and jeans that fit perfectly
like Hip-Hop
like Ella Fitzgerald scats amazing azure blues
up and down and slipping sideways, harmonizing honey hymns
you move me like sunshine
like you/ Fred Hampton:
speaks truth/ stands solid/ thunder in the sky.
Rock the world!
Shock them/ shake them/ make them see
with out a doubt,
you most definitely move me.

[Rugafet]

Iznenada u kafani staroj
sinoc sretoh prijatelja svoga
gde si druze, rece mi sa zarom
radujem se zivota mi moga


Pa mi prica uz casicu ljute
da si ista, zanosna i lepa
da svi momci jos za tobom lude
mnoga srca da za tobom zude

Ne znajuci da me prica boli
u dusi mi uskovitla buru
momak zovnu konobara stolu
daj, donesi ovde drugu turu

[Nocni Monni]

I don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Don't mind wearing the ragged britches
'Cause those who succeed are the sons of bitches,
I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
I'll stay down here with the raggedy crew,
'Cause getting up there means stepping on you, so
I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Somebody else's measuring scale of
Win or lose doesn't tell the tale, so
I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Somebody else's definition
Isn't going to measure my soul's condition,
I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Never mind the custom suits,
The gentle hearts wear the dusty boots, so
I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Some people ride in a car so fine
While others walk on a picket line, so
I don't mind failing in this world.

I don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Don't mind wearing the ragged britches
'Cause those who succeed are the sons of bitches,
I don't mind failing in this world.

[Rugafet]

Ja poklanjam zlatnu burmuuu
zlatnu burmu vencanuuu
nek' je nosi ko god hoceee
kad ja nemam draganuuu


Necu vise ni da vidim
one njene crne oci

crnju od nociiiiiiii

Ja poklanjam usne njene
usne njene neverneee
nek' ih ljubi ko god hoceee
kad su mene ostavileee



Ja poklanjam sjajnu duguuu
sjajnu dugu sa neba
neka prodje ko god hoce
meni nista ne trebaaa

"A što snovi mogu da prevare!
Pretvore se,tako,
u neke prošle dane
pa mi oboje misli
u sve žarke boje sunca,
srce mi,opet,kuca
u ritmu neke prelepe arije...
Kako snovi mogu da prevare!
Na nove horizonte
pucaju mi vidici,
moja detinja noga
hrabro zakorači,
birajući nove puteve...
Eh,kako snovi mogu da prevare!
Rašire se ova umorna pluća
pa bi da udahnu sve mirise:
lavanda,dunje sa ormara,
eno,iz nekog ugla miriše bakin sapun
i vanilin šećer,morsko orašče.
Sve mi zamiriše na detinje prah-pudere!
Joj,kako snovi mogu da prevare!
A sve mi drago tu,oko srca.
Sva me milina opije.
Na licu osmeh,
u duši nada
da sve je isto,
i da će večno tako da bude.
Opet bih da volim ljude
i da verujem u magije...
Snovi znaju kako da me prevare."
