Diletant
Dolazio je noću i kad je padala kiša;
jednom, drugi, treći, četvrti, peti put
i onda više nikad nije došao.
Za rođendan mu je poslala vejavicu,
sa željom da se malo isprepada i naguta snega.
No, on je samo rekao sledeće:
"Ova oluja ti nije dovoljno dobra,
nisi je dobro pripremila,
diletantu."

Dilettante
He'd come at night and when it was raining;
once, twice, three, four, five times,
And no more.
For birthday, she sent him a snowstorm,
So he'd get scared and swallow some snow.
But, he only said the following:
"This storm is not good enough,
You did not prepare it well,
You diletante.

[I would say it's "dilettante" in both Italian and English. Feel free to delete this once you've checked it out.]
D'OH.It's weird that I can't spell your signature word in languages other than yours. Thank you. <3
