[Strofa 1] Parcela traži obrazac. Obrazac ima tri strane. Treća strana pita šta nameravam da gajim. Napišem povrće. Obrazac se vraća. Molimo navedite. [Strofa 2] Napišem krompir, pasulj, kelj. Obrazac se opet vraća. Molimo navedite sortu. Ne znam sortu. Seme je u papirnoj kesi koju mi je otac dao pre nego što je umro. Na kesi ne piše. [Refren] Mala parcela. Dug obrazac. Meka zemlja. Tvrda olovka. [Strofa 3] Napišem nepoznato nasleđe. Obrazac je prihvaćen. Dobijam broj. Broj je na kočiću koji guram u zemlju. Kočić je viši od biljaka. Kočić je bela plastika. [Strofa 4] Čovek na susednoj parceli ovde je godinama. Gaji iste stvari. Ne popunjava obrasce. Kaže da nikad nije. Kaže da niko ne dolazi. Kaže to kao upozorenje. [Refren] Mala parcela. Dug obrazac. Meka zemlja. Tvrda olovka. [Završna strofa] Seme ulazi. Kočić ostaje. Kesa je prazna. Čuvam kesu.
Originalni engleski tekstovi
[Verse 1] The allotment needs a form. The form has three pages. The third page asks what I intend to grow. I write vegetables. The form returns. Please specify. [Verse 2] I write potatoes, beans, kale. The form returns again. Please indicate variety. I don't know the variety. The seeds are in a paper bag my father gave me before he died. The bag does not say. [Hook] A small plot. A long form. Soft soil. Hard pencil. [Verse 3] I write unknown heritage. The form is accepted. I receive a number. The number is on a stake I push into the ground. The stake is taller than the plants. The stake is white plastic. [Verse 4] A man on the next plot has been here for years. He grows the same things. He doesn't fill in forms. He says he never has. He says nobody comes. He says it like a warning. [Hook] A small plot. A long form. Soft soil. Hard pencil. [Final Verse] The seeds go in. The stake stays up. The bag is empty. I keep the bag.
