Plaything of winds (outfit post)/ Igračka vjetorova (odjevna objava)


 Plaything Of  Winds

Suffer without a tear, live without a swear,
and be peacefully unhappy.
Tears are vain, and laments
won't ease a troubled sleep.

Give yourself to the drunk wind of life,
let it whirl you where it will;
let yourself be spinned like a leaf,
in the mad whirlwind.

Fly like a spinning leaf caught by a gust of wind,
for flight, my soul, you were created.
It is not meant for earth, it is not meant for rest
a flower that has no roots.*

                                     *Poem by Croatian poet Tin Ujević, translated by me





 Igračka vjetrova

 Pati bez suze, živi bez psovke,
i budi mirno nesretan.
Tašte su suze, a jadikovke
ublažit neće gorki san.


Podaj se pjanom vjetru života,
pa nek te vije bilo kud;
pusti ko listak nek te mota
u ludi polet vihor lud.



Leti ko lišće što vir ga vije,
za let si, dušo stvorena.
Za zemlju nije, za pokoj nije
cvijet što nema korijena.

Tin Ujević, Igračka vjetrova

  7. Yes, it can be quite challenging. I have never (so far) translated poetry professionally, most of translations I get hired for are about economics, engineering.... work manuals and etc.- nothing very creative.

    I translated just the meaning when I translated this poem, I didn't try to transfer the rhyme in English so it was easier and didn't take me much time.

  9. Nekad sam znala ovu pjesmu napamet, sad si me vratila u studentske dane i hvala ti na tome ;)
    Haljina mi je odlična, već znaš da obožavam plavu.. i jako lijepo ti ovo sjenilo istakne oči, a lokacija.. ma nije mogla biti bolja!

  10. Hello dear friend!

    The truth is that I am not affected poetry, I find it hard to understand, but what I read I loved it.

    Many congratulations on the translation, it is difficult to translate texts imagine that poetry is twice as difficult.

    You look great in that blue dress.

    One of the places that curiosity causes me is Boznia through your post've met some of that place and I really love to visit him at the moment is complicated, the economy in Mexico is not exactly good, so I will wait one couple of years to visit.

  17. It's lovely that you shared that poem as there is something rather poetic about these photos. That shade of blue is beautiful on you and I just can't stop staring at that wonderful DIY necklace. Happy Friday Ivana!

  18. Good choice on the poem. I chewed on a few of the lines with great interest. Famous poets have that certain something I can never land on but dance around at my best.

    And then wow good gracious man oh man look at you in your blue-tiful dress :) That dress is an amazing fit on you! That very first shot, so powerful yet sensual, your gorgeous body on such display. That one alone was all I needed, made my night so incredible! It felt like a gift and I wanted to thank you for it even though that is silly I suppose. When I got to see the rest of the shots they were very lovely too, dear! I adore sneakers with a nice dress like that. So fun! I hope you have a wonderful day! What a great surprise :) xoxo

    1. Hello dear! Just had to return and enjoy these once more. I wanted to see them without interruption, unlike last night :) And so glad I did! That dress is magical on you! Highlights that lovely figure and shows off so much of your stunning legs. So exciting for me!! Picture 5 was the one tonight for me. You are so very lovely and even more than that so very kind! I will never again complain about a lack of bikini shots. Who needs them? :)

  29. Tin Ujević je moj omiljeni hrvatski pesnik tako da sam se obradovala kada sam videla njegove stihove :)
    Divno izgledaš, ta plava nijansa baš ide uz tvoj ten i kosu i znaš već da uvek glasam za haljine sa patikama, tako da je ovo baš po mom ukusu.
    Inače, sanjala sam te noćas, bile smo kao u nekom napuštenom skladištu :D Ne sećam se tačno ali znam da smo se lepo družile :)
