A Christmas Tree

I love the snowy whiteness of the snow,
A Christmas tree resembling the holiday mood,
Binding us to the memories of the gifts,
And nice surprises.

Seems like it waited for us throughout the seasons,
A magnificent reminder of love,
The embodiment of what we call – freedom-,
The branches hug the blue sky.

It is a silent witness of our meeting,
Knowing the secrets of the people worldwide.
The decoration of New Year’s magic,
And a carefree child’s dream.
Being so nice in winter’s magic,
Always confirming to be especially fine.

JELkA
Volim snežnu belinu snega
Jelku koja godinama podseća
na praznična raspoloženja,
Ona nas veže uspomenama
na poklone, lepa iznenađenja.

Tu je kao da nas čeka kroz sva godišnja doba
Veličanstvena podseća na ljubav,
Oličenje je onog što zovemo – sloboda-,
Granama grli svod plav.

Nemi je svedok našeg susreta
Zna tajne naroda sveta,
Ukras je Novogodišnje čarolije
San bezbrižnog deteta.
Prekrasna u zimskoj čaroliji
potvrđuje kako je uvek posebno lepa.
