Šta bi ga ti znao?

What would you even know?

The poem

Pitaš da li hoću? A ja sam tvoja lutka. Divim se tvojoj brzini svetlosti Dok izbacuješ sve one Rečenice skupljene U vavilonskim vatrama. Drugih. Zbog tebe ne spavam I pišem iz stomaka. Ali šta bi ga ti znao?

In English

You ask me if I want to. And I'm your marionette. And I marvel at your speed of light. While you cast out all of those sentences. Gathered. In the Babylon fires of the others.l Because of you, i don't sleep. And I write from the gut. But what would you even know? Šta bi ga ti znao ?
