Kao pjesnik mnogo ljeta pišem.Izdao sam nekoliko knjiga,došla mi je predivna ideja,nemam para, a to mi je briga.
A poet, I've been writing many a year,and several books of mine are out, you see;a lovely notion came into my head —no money, though, and that's what worries me.
Ja posjetih trgovinu "BREMSE",gospon' Slavko na kočnicu stao.Rijetko naći tu ljudsku vrlinu,bez problema, donaciju dao.
I paid a visit to the "BREMSE" store,and Mr Slavko put his foot on the brake;such human virtue's rarely to be found:no fuss, he gave a donation for my sake.
Gospon' Slavko, kako da zahvalim?Riječ je mala, da Vam kažem hvala.To jedino što ja mogu znati,uz zahvalu Vama knjigu dati.
Mr Slavko, how can I thank you now?"Thank you" is such a little word to say.The only thing that I can think of, then:to give with thanks a book from my own pen.
Što bi moja duša sada znala,gospon' Slavko, od srca Vam hvala.
What more is there my soul could find to do?So, Mr Slavko, heartfelt thanks to you!
