The Voyage to Lilliput / Putovanje u Liliput (Gulliver's Travels / Guliverova putovanja)

When I woke daylight had just broken.

Kad sam se probudio, upravo je svanulo.

I attempted to rise, but I could not get up.

Pokušao/la sam ustati, ali nisam mogao/la ustati.

I had happened to fall asleep on my back.

Slučajno sam zaspao na leđima.

And now my arms and legs were fastened to the ground.

A sada su mi ruke i noge bile pričvršćene za tlo.

My hair, which was long and thick, was tied down too.

I moja kosa, koja je bila duga i gusta, bila je svezana.

I could only look upward, unable to move in any way.

Mogao sam samo gledati prema gore, nesposoban da se ikako pomaknem.

The sun began to grow hot, and the light hurt my eyes.

Sunce je počelo jako pržiti, a svjetlost me boljela u očima.

I heard a confused noise all around me.

Čuo sam zbunjujuću buku posvuda oko sebe.

But I could see nothing except the sky above me.

Ali nisam mogao vidjeti ništa osim neba iznad sebe.

After a little time I felt something alive.

Nakon nekog vremena osjetio sam nešto živo.

Something was moving on my left leg.

Nešto se micalo na lijevoj nozi.

It gently advanced over my chest.

Nježno se pomicalo preko mojih prsa.

And then it came almost up to my chin.

A onda mi je došlo gotovo do brade.
