A night as dark as Othello’s jealousy

Noć mračna kao Othellova ljubomora
s ljubičicama, borovima, morem.
U takvoj noći je pala Troja
u takvoj noći su odnijeli Lorku.

U takvoj noći je gorio Pariz.
Razmišljaš u takvoj noći
koliko ti je još noći
ostalo za ljubav.

Izet Sarajlić

A night as dark as Othello’s jealousy
with violets, pines, and the sea.
On such a night, Troy fell.
On such a night, they took Lorca away.

On such a night, Paris burned.
And you ponder, on such a night,
how many nights
you still have left for love.

Izet Sarajlić
