The tale of the trumpet
The trumpet will tell you about the callous soul, years of drought, armies and wars in faraway areas, uprisings, festivals and kolos, girly laughter, the smell of bullshit, and the scent of harvested grass, human shit, nice well-springs that cure every thirst but one, the linden tree which smells beautifully at the grave above the head of a good man, black scarves, the scent of freshly milked milk, a goat bell that rattles at dusk when the cattle returns from pasture, life that is warm and tough like a cloth suit, diseases and wounds (from a painful soul and from all other things), bread and cornbread, about white shirts that are worn on the Patron Saint’s day, last year harvested wheat that has not been paid for yet, quinces that spread a nice smell from the mantelpiece, trance caused by rakija, money spent on waiters and city prostitutes, oxen that are good but not paired up, hore-frost which covers a flourishing cherry tree, rifles that announce the birth of a male newly born, eternal bestmanship and those which were betrayed, and about… and the trumpet will tell you about everything.
The peasant one, battered and mended. The one that is covered with bread and smells like wax.
(From the book ”Guča: The Brass Soul of Serbia”)

Приповест трубе
Казаће вам труба о жуљевитој души, о сушним годинама, о војскама и војевању у далеким крајевима, о бунама, о саборима и колима, о девојачком кикоту, о смраду балеге и мирису покошеног сена, о љуцковини и свакојаком поганлуку, о добрим изворима који сваку жеђ гасе осим једне, о липи која мирише на гробу изнад главе доброг човека, о црним марамама, о мирису тек помуженог млека, о меденици која звечи у сумрак кад се стада са паше враћају, о животу грубом и топлом као сукнено одело, о болестима и ранама (од пребола и о оним другим), о проји и хлебу, о белим кошуљама које се на дан славе облаче, о шеници, лањској, још ненаплаћеној, о дуњама које с ормана миришу, о ракијским заносима, о новцима на келнере и варошке курве потрошеним, о воловима добрим само неупареним, о слани што пада на трешњу у цвету, о пушкама којим се рађање мушког оглашава, о кумствима вечним и оним изневереним, и о... И о свему казаће вам труба.
Она сељачка, изубијана и искрпљена. Она што је хлебом облепљена а на восак мирише.
