V Zagrebu so se stresla tla
The ground shook in Zagreb
Written by Romana Šeruga translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Si se tudi ti, tako kot jaz, v nedeljo zjutraj navsezgodaj zbudila, ker si imela občutek, da se nekaj premika pod tvojo posteljo? In si potem spala naprej, prepričana, da se ti je to samo sanjalo?
Did you, like me, wake up early Sunday morning because you felt like something was moving under your bed? And then you slept on, sure you only dreamed it?
Tudi jaz sem si brezskrbno privoščila še urico spanca. Toda ob jutranji kavi sem ugotovila, da se mi ni sanjalo.
I also indulged in an hour of sleep without worry. But with morning coffee, I realized I had no dream.
