THE PLANET
From just one atom, man grows;
From one atom, a bee, a leaf, and a flower are formed;
Little by little, the World is created.
Why do we poison a child in our womb;
Why do they constantly threaten us with chemical weapons;
Why are weapons in factories forged,
Why do fewer and fewer birds chirp?
Why is the leaf no longer green,
Nor are the same the hind and the deer.
There are fewer and fewer wasps and bees,
Nature is unhappy…
No butterflies, no birds, no water clear and clean,
Everything slowly disappears as if life’s ending.
How to explain to children,
Who are stepping into the future,
What animals, plants, and grass used to look like.
Every day, more and more, they die.
We cut the branches we sit on,
We are not worth this Planet,
Sick minds have polluted the earth,
So that nothing more is produced.
To them, poison is sweeter than nectar.
So let’s raise our voices and save
At least one part of the Planet,
For they also threaten to destroy,
Even this little remainder,
For the future, for each subsequent child…

PLANET
Od samo jednog atoma izraste čovjek ,
od jednog atoma nastane pčela, list cvijet,
malo po malo skupi se Svijet.
Zašto već u utrobi našoj trujemo dijete,
zašto nam stalno hemijskim oružjem prijete,
zašto se oružje u fabrikama kuje,
zašto se sve manje cvrkut ptica čuje.
Zašto list više isto nije zelen,
niti su više isti košuta i jelen, sve je manje osa i pčela, priroda je nevesela…
ni leptiri ni ptice ni vode bistre, čiste,
sve polako nestaje, kao da zivot prestaje..
Kako objasniti djeci koja u budućnost koračaju
kako su izgledale nekada, životinje, biljke, trava, svakog dana sve više iščezava..
Siječemo grane na kojima sjedimo,
ovom Planetu ne vrijedimo,
zemlju su zagadili bolesni umovi , da ništa više ne radja, jer im je otrov od nektara sladja..
Za to podignimo glas i čuvajmo makar jedan dio Planete, jer i ovo malo uništiti nam prijete, za budućnost
za svako naredno dijete ..
