MY "MUSE' - Драган Ражнатовић

I have seen the depths of Hades

and the solemn beauty

of the Elysian Fields.

From refugee

to Rhodes Scholar.

In 20 years the sum

of all my fears

have been realized

as well as my faith restored.

The very nature of my existence

is based on the premise

that Man is precious

and yet

eternally persecuted

for his beliefs

that are either inherent

or instilled since birth.

The very definition

of his sexuality

is what the fates have set upon him

wishing only

that he prosper and love.

This sexuality is never fully understood

and yet…

it is driven by passion

and an intense well spring

of glorious exaltation!

I am what I am

and what I am

needs no excuses.

Therefore I stand

vigilant,

silent,

but always aware.

I am eternal

yet never fully existential,

for I am he,

the one,

the guardian of the gates.

My soul purpose

is to guide the lost souls

that inhabit the Plain of Jars

to the Elysian Fields.

I will keep the memory of those

that came before me,

by actions and deeds,

not words.

It is my destiny

as well as my charge!

So heed these words

and hear my wisdom

when I say…

I am he…

the one, the guardian,

for all time.

Долази од тебе

Она доноси сузе на очи

Ви сте визионар

Да, ја сам муза,

Ти си у мојој души,

Ти увукла у некако

А пламен је почео да расте

То ме греје преко

Ова груба зима

 "Бог нам је благословио све и свашта!"

I plamen počeo rasti

Ova gruba zima

Es bringt mir die Tränen in die Augen

Greek

Ερχόμενοι από εσάς

Είναι φέρνει δάκρυα στα μάτια μου

Είστε ο οραματιστής

Ναι, είμαι η μούσα,

Είστε στην ψυχή μου,

Μπορείτε παρεισφρήσει σε κάπως

Και μια φλόγα άρχισε να αναπτύσσεται

Είναι με θέρμανση μέσω

Αυτό το τραχύ χειμώνα

"Ο Θεός να μας ευλογήσει ένα και όλα!"

Исходя из вас

Она приносит слезы на моих глазах

Вы провидец

Да, я муза,

Вы находитесь в моей душе,

Вы закрались как-то

И пламя начали расти

Это потепление меня через

Это грубая зима

«Боже, благослови нас всех и каждого!"

Coming from you

It brings tears to my eyes

You are the visionary

Yes, I am the muse,

You are in my soul,

You crept in somehow

And a flame began to grow

It’s warming me through

This rough winter

“God bless us one and all!”
