Poem
Bojan Radašinović
Those Were The Days (7)
7.our journey was stopped
after thirty minutes
Slovenian border
our policemen were on strike
well, they’re working around the clock
asking stupid questions
we’ll stop again in three hours
darkness coldness road toilet
cough cigarettes wind
on the Italian border
our driver gave the customs officer
two Coca-Cola cans
the next six hours
we were driving on the highway
only one short stop at around
three in the morning Switzerland
everybody out of the bus
turistiko
si turistiko
customs officers were young and beefy
soon after Lucerne
comes Zurich
said a passenger

To su bili dani (7)
To su bili dani (7)
7.putovanje se nakon
pola sata prekida
slovenska granica
naši policajci štrajkaju
pa rade kao ludi
pitaju glupa pitanja
za tri sata opet stajemo
mrak hladnoća cesta wc
kašalj cigarete vjetar
na talijanskoj granici
vozač daje cariniku dvije
konzerve coca-cole
sljedećih šest sati
vozimo se autoputom uz
jedno kraće stajanje negdje
oko tri ujutro švicarska
svi van iz busa
turistiko
si turistiko
carinici mladi i mesnati
nakon luzerna brzo
dolazi zürich
govori jedan putnik
