“Nobody but you” by Charles Bukowski

Danas ti ostavljam pesmu neponovljivog Bukovskog i važan podsetnik da je engleski koji želiš tvoja odgovornost.

Niko osim tebe ne može da izabere da zaista pročitaš ovu pesmu jer će tako tvoj engleski da jača i raste, umesto da samo izađeš iz mejla i obrišeš ga.

Niko osim tebe, ne može da izabere da se zamisliš nad istom ovom pesmom i promisliš o njoj na engleskom jer tako aktiviraš vokabular i razvijaš samopouzdanje u to šta i koliko možeš da kažeš na engleskom.

Niko osim tebe ne može da odluči da pesmu pročitaš polako, sa pažnjom na svaki glas umesto žurbe i preletanja, jer tako razvijaš govorni aparat za engleske glasove i poboljšavaš izgovor.

Ti sada u ovoj prilici koja se pojavila u tvom sandučetu biraš ili ne biraš engleski!

Budi svesna svog izbora :)

nobody can save you but

yourself.

you will be put again and again

into nearly impossible

situations.

they will attempt again and again

through subterfuge, guise and

force

to make you submit, quit and die quietly

inside.

nobody can save you but

yourself

and it will be easy enough to fail

so very easily

but don’t, don’t, don’t.

just watch them.

listen to them.

do you want to be like that?

a faceless, mindless, heartless

being?

do you want to experience

death before death?

nobody can save you but

yourself

and you’re worth saving.

it’s a war not easily won

but if anything is worth winning then

this is it.

think about it.

think about saving yourself.

your spiritual self.

your gut self.

your singing magical self and

your beautiful self.

save it.

don’t join the dead in spirit.

maintain yourself

with humor and grace

and finally,

if necessary

wager yourself as you struggle,

damn the odds, damn

the price.

only you can save your

self.

do it! do it!

then you’ll know exactly what

I am talking about.

A ovde je naš fantastičan prevod, ako ti zatreba pomoć da zaista razumeš ovu pesmu i neke od ovih zanimjivih opisa na engleskom.

Do sledećeg čitanja, biraj engleski :)
