Analysis of ZAKAJ? (Pourquoi?)



Pourquoi
Ta večer sem bila zrak Hodil je skozme
ki sem bila nič In je peklo v tisti
neotipljivi in nevidljivi ničnosti
Ta večer je tišina molila rotila
Pourquoi sem vprašala z roko v zraku ko
je že neštetokrat prezrl tresljaje mišic
Parce que je t'aime je zavpil
in povlekel dlan preko oči
