| Једне се ноћи беше срела | One night |
| На једној зрачној стази, | On a track in the air |
| Душа у небо што се пела, | A soul that had climbed to the sky |
| И ангел што на свет слази. | Met an angel descending to earth. |
| Ангел исприча причу сјајну | The angel told a great story |
| Шта су небески врти, | About heavenly gardens |
| А душа целе земље тајну: | And the soul told the secret of the world: |
| Магију љубави и смрти. | The magic of love and death. |
| И осмехну се ангел потом | And the angel smiled |
| На царство вечних зрака; | O'er the realm of everlasting rays; |
| Душа заплака за лепотом | While the soul wept for the beauty |
| Игре светлости и мрака. | Of the game of light and darkness |
