It’s The Sweet Law Of Men
It’s the sweet law of men
They make wine from grapes
They make fire from coal
They make men from kisses
They make wine from grapes
They make fire from coal
They make men from kisses
It’s the true law of men
Kept intact despite
the misery and war
despite danger of death
Kept intact despite
the misery and war
despite danger of death
It’s the warm law of men
To change water to light
Dream to reality
Enemies to friends
To change water to light
Dream to reality
Enemies to friends
A law old and new
That perfects itself
From the child’s heart’s depths
To reason’s heights.
That perfects itself
From the child’s heart’s depths
To reason’s heights.

| Paul Éluard, Paris ca 1940 -by Henri Cartier-Bresson |
Divan je to zakon ljudi
Od grožđa da prave vino
Od uglja da prave vatru
Od poljubaca da prave ljude
Pravi je to zakon ljudi
Sacuvati sebe
Uprkos bedi i ratu
Uprkos opasnosti od smrti
Istinit je to zakon ljudi
Praviti od vode svetlost
Od snova stvarnost
Od neprijatelja braću
Zakon star i nov
Usavrsava sebe
Iz najdubljih dečjih dubina
Do najviših ljudskih visina
