Belišćanski pijac
The Belišće Market
Belišćanski pijac staripotopila Drava,pa je zato načelnikazaboljela glava.
Belišće's old market-placedrowned when the Drava rose,and the mayor got a headachefrom these watery woes.
Da se gradi pijac novitreba puno para,al' načelnik, vjerujte mi,za to ima dara.
Building a new market takesmoney by the ton,but for that the mayor, trust me,is a gifted one.
Stručnjake je sakupiou Belišću gradu.Materijal nabavili,prionuli radu.
He brought experts all togetherhere in Belišće town;they got in the materialsand to work they buckled down.
Temelji su preko zimepostavljeni bili,u proljeće neimaripijac sagradili.
Over winter the foundationshad been laid in place;in the spring the master buildersraised the market space.
I tako su ostvareninačelnika snovi,a Belišće sada krasidivni pijac novi.
That is how the mayor's dreamsall at last came true,and now Belišće is gracedby a market, fine and new.
Dv'je tisuće petog ljetaovo se desilo,dvanaestog je maja zdanjeotvoreno bilo.
In the year two thousand fivethis is what was done:on the twelfth of May the buildingopened to everyone.
Tom prigodom skuhao jeDelač vrlo vješto,fin čobanac, u kotliću,od litara šesto.
For the opening Delač cooked,with the greatest skill,fine čobanac in the cauldron,six hundred litres' fill.
U Belišću sad je pijackakvog nećeš naći,u tri naše županijeni u samoj Mađi!
Now Belišće has a marketlike you won't find elsewhere,not in all of our three counties,nor in Hungary, I swear!
