Vlado Kreslin - Preko Mure, preko Drave

Preko Mure, preko Drave (V.Kreslin) CD Ptič (Založba Kreslin, 2000) "V začetku videospota se Vlado podpiše na ograjo rojstne hiše Sergea Gainsbourgea, na koncu pa obišče grob Jima Morrissona." Production: Charles O. Preko Mure, preko Drave Lahko bi bila idealen par z diplomami in otroki. Tudi to ima svoj čar, komaj zdaj vem, s krediti in obroki. Zmeraj si bila večja kot vse, kar nama je življenje dalo kakšen dan se mi zdi, da dojenček sem, ki ga še vedno štorklja nosi. Preko Mure, preko Drave, prek Save vse do morja. Morda še prek oceana, od zibelke do neba. Lahko bi bila idealen par starčkov na klopi v parku in Jumpin' Jack Flash, ki si mi ga dala v dar, še zdaj preskakuje v taktu. Zadnji avgust, poletje je šlo, siva te naredi še lepšo, dosti mene je ti, dosti tebe sem jaz, dosti mene še zdaj leti. Preko Mure, preko Drave, prek Save vse do morja, morda še prek oceana, od zibelke do neba. Across the Mura, across the Drava, We could have made an ideal pair Graduates enriched, with boisterous children. This too has its own charm, I now know, With loans and monthly installments. You’ve always cast a shadow Over poor offerings with which life blessed us, Here and there I feel As though I were still a newborn child, Warm cloth wrapped in a stork’s motherly break. Across the Mura, across the Drava, Across the Sava river, up to the stormy sea. Perhaps even across the blue ocean, From rocking cradle to the immense sky. We could have made an ideal pair Of grey painted old men reminiscent of life. And that forty years back, “Jumpin’ Jack flash,” You decades-old vinyl gift, Skips in time still. The late august, the summer has left, The silver hair frames you ever more beautifully, Half my being is you, Half your being is me, Half my desire is still to fly. Across the Mura, across the Drava, Across the Sava river, up to the stormy sea. Perhaps even across the blue ocean, From rocking cradle to the immense sky. Transl. : Urška Charney
