Trenuci - Borhes

"Kada bih svoj život mogao ponovo da preživim,

Pokušao bih u sledećem da napravim više grešaka.
Ne bih se trudio da budem tako savršen, opustio bih se više
Bio bih gluplji nego što bejah, zaista,
Vrlo malo stvari bih ozbiljno shvatao.
Bio bih manji čistunac.
Više bih se izlagao opasnostima više putovao, više sutona posmatrao, na više planina popeo,više
reka preplivao.
Išao bih na još više mesta na koja nikad nisam otišao.
Jeo manje boba a više sladoleda, imao više stvarnih a manje izmišljenih problema.
Ja sam bio od onih što je razumno i plodno proživeo svaki minut svog života.
Imao sam jasno, i časka radosti!
Ali kada bih mogao nazad da se vratim, težio bih samo dobrim trenucima
Jer ako ne znate, život je od toga sačinjen ,
Od trenova samo.
Nemoj propuštati sada.
Jer sam bio od onih što nikad nigde nisu išli bez toplomera, termofora, kišobrana i padobrana.
Kad bih opet mogao da živim, lakše bih putovao
Kada bih opet mogao da živim, s proleća bih počeo bosonog da hodam i tako išao do kraja jeseni
Više bih se na vrtešci okretao , više sutona posmatrao i sa više dece igrao.
Kada bih život ponovo pred sobom imao.
Ali vidite imam 85 godina i znam da umirem.“

A evo i engleske vezije...

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER

I'd dare to make more mistakes next time.

I'd relax, I would limber up.
I would be sillier than I have been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances.

I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers.

I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would perhaps have more actual troubles,
but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I'm one of those people who live

sensibly and sanely hour after hour,
day after day.

Oh, I've had my moments,

And if I had it to do over again,
I'd have more of them.
In fact, I'd try to have nothing else.
Just moments, one after another,
instead of living so many years ahead of each day.
I've been one of those people who never goes anywhere
without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat
and a parachute.
If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.

If I had my life to live over,

I would start barefoot earlier in the spring
and stay that way later in the fall.
I would go to more dances.
I would ride more merry-go-rounds.
I would pick more daisies.
