"Opomena" is Lebdi's favorite poem by Desanka Maksimović, a Serbian female poet.
When translated to English, it would be named "Warning"

lyrics

"Opomena"

Čuj, reći ću ti svoju tajnu:
ne ostavljaj me nikad samu
kad neko svira.
Mogu mi se učiniti
duboke i meke
oči neke
sasvim obične.
Može mi se učiniti
da tonem u zvuke,
pa ću ruke
svakom pružiti.
Može mi se učiniti
lepo i lako
voleti kratko
za jedan dan.
Ili mogu kom reći u tome
času čudesno sjajnu
predragu mi tajnu
koliko te volim.

Učiniće mi se negde u šumi
ponovo sve moje suze teku
kroz samonikle neke česme.
Učiniće mi se crn leptir jedan
po teškoj vodi krilom šara
što nekad neko reći mi ne sme.


"Warning"

Listen
I will tell you my secret
Don't you ever leave me alone
when somebody's playing (music)
Some eyes
totally ordinary
may seem deep and soft
to me (then).
And it may seem to me (then)
that I am diving into the sound
therefore I could give my arms
to anyone.

It may seem to me
nice and easy
to be loving shortly,
only for a day.
Or I could,
during that very moment,
tell anyone
my dearest magical secret -
how much I love you.

It could seem to me that
somewhere in a forest
all of my tears are running again
through wild, newborn fountains.
And a black butterfly will appear,
drawing on heavy water with his wing
that what somebody sometime
must not tell me.
