ДРЖИМ ТЕ У СВОЈИМ УСТИМА

Верујем да си у мојим уснама,

Где нема рата,

нема куге, нема бацања отровних стрелица кришом,

нема гласина, нема замки, нема преваре.

Где газиш нема оштрих бодљи и ја ћу подићи зидине

против свих побеснелих олуја. Нежно подижеш своја рамена,

твоје груди, твоји прсти мазе моје образе.

Ти невино својим језиком и зубима дираш моје тело.

Ја сам риба обасјана месечином и 

остављајући све, скочио сам у море.

Holding You in My Mouth

I always believe you are in my mouth

Where there is no war, no plague

No poisonous arrow furtively shot

No rumours, no traps, no deception

Where you tread has no sharp thorns

And I will raise a wall up against all raging storms

You gently push your shoulders,

Your chest, your toes against my cheeks

Talkative and silently singing

You innocently let my tongue and teeth touch your body

Secure in my mouth

I am a fish overfilled with moonlight

And leaving my school I leap into the sea in movements.

Ngậm em trong miệng

Luôn tin có em trong miệng anh

Nơi không chiến tranh, dịch hạch

Mũi tên bắn lén tẩm độc

Thị phi, cạm bẫy, lọc lừa

Lối em đi không còn gai nhọn

Bão tràn qua anh dựng tường ngăn

Bình yên trong miệng anh

Em thúc nhẹ bờ vai

Vòm ngực, ngón chân vào má

Huyên thuyên và hát thầm

Hồn nhiên cho lưỡi và răng anh chạm vào cơ thể

Anh là con cá miệng giàn giụa trăng

Rời bỏ bầy đàn quẫy vào biển động.
