Nekoga moraš imeti rad

You must love someone Even though only grass, river, tree or stone On someone's shoulder you must lay your hand So that it gluts its hunger with nearness There must, must be someone It is like bread, like a drink of water To whom you must give your white clouds Your brave birds of dreams Your shy birds of helplessness Somewhere for them there must be A nest of peace and tenderness You must love someone Though only grass, river, tree or stone For trees and grass know what loneliness is For footsteps always pass by Even if they pause for a moment For the river knows what sadness is It need only brood over its depths For the stone knows what pain is How many heavy feet Have already gone over its mute heart You must love someone You must love someone Walk side by side with someone On the same path Oh grass, river, stone, tree Silent companions of the strange and lonely Good, great beings, who begin to speak only When men have fallen silent Nekoga moraš imeti rad Pa čeprav trave, reko, drevo ali kamen Nekomu moraš nasloniti roko na ramo Da se, lačna, nasiti bližine Nekomu moraš, moraš To je kot kruh, kot požirek vode Moraš dati svoje bele oblake Svoje drzne ptice sanj Svoje plašne ptice nemoči Nekje vendar mora biti zanje Gnezdo miru in nežnosti Nekoga moraš imeti rad Pa čeprav trave, reko, drevo ali kamen Ker drevesa in trave vedo za samoto Kajti koraki vselej odidejo dalje Pa čeprav se za hip ustavijo Ker reka ve za žalost Če se le nagne nad svojo globino Ker kamen pozna bolečino Koliko težkih nog Je že šlo čez njegovo nemo srce Nekoga moraš imeti rad Nekoga moraš imeti rad Z nekom moraš v korak V isto sled O trave, reka, kamen, drevo Molčeči spremljevalci samotnežev in čudakov Dobra, velika bitja, ki spregovore samo Kadar umolknejo ljudje
