Hi!
I read about Desanka Maksimovic's "Molitva za ljubav" rejuvenating an interest in padlock bridges. The following is the Google translation of the poem. Is this accurate? I was wondering where the references to the actual padlock stuff etc is. Thanks!
> Brzo kao kratkovecne cveca liske
> i ova ljubav stace da se kruni i drobi:
> žedan je zaborava tamni vir.
> O, bože, drugi ti se mole za srecu i mir,
> a ja: sacuvaj u srcu mom, zarobi,
> jucerašnjeg dana nestalni pram.
Fast as short-lived coniferous flowers
and this love will be crowned and crushed:
thirsty forgets the dark source.
Oh God, others pray to you for happiness and peace,
and I: keep in my heart, capture,
yesterday's erratic pram.
> Zaklopi dušu moju sad ko zlatnu
> skrinju, nacini je ljubavi hram.
> O, duša moja ne moli srecu za se -
> sve dosadašnje radosti nek se snište -
> ali pobožno ona od tebe ište
> da dan se ovaj od strašnog brodoloma spase.
Shut my soul now like gold
the ark, make it a temple of love.
Oh, my soul does not pray for happiness for itself -
let all the joys of the past be destroyed -
but piously she asks of you
to save this day from a terrible shipwreck.
> Bez pomoci tvoje povenuce sve brzo
> kao bulka u zrelome žitu i lanu.
> O, bože ne molim za srecu, za radost, za
> slast.
Without your help, everything will fade quickly
like a roll in ripe wheat and flax.
Oh, God, I don't pray for happiness, for joy, for
sweetness.
> Da bol ovaj ne umre, mene je strah;
> da oganj sveti što u meni planu
> ne sagori iznenadno u prah,
> ne razbukti se prekonoc u strast.
That this pain does not die, I am afraid;
that the fire shines in me
do not burn suddenly to dust,
do not flare up overnight in passion.
