Osječka ste podružnica bilii po želji njihovoj radili.Odvažna je gospa Tomić bilai nepravdu njihovu odbila.
You were once a branch that Osijek ran,and you worked to suit their wish and plan;but then Mrs Tomić, bold and brave,spurned the unjust treatment that they gave.
Ako treba da se bira Vladagospa Tomić najbolja je sada,svojim radom uvijek revna bila,od Osijeka društvo izbavila.
Should a Government be chosen here,Mrs Tomić is the best, that's clear;always zealous in her work, and shesaved the club from Osijek, set it free.
A skupština u ovome času,nek' podrži tu sadašnju Vladu,jer će ona sa puno elana,vodit društvo u budućem radu.
Let the meeting, at this very hour,back the Government that holds the reins,for with plenty of élan it willlead the club's work on to future gains.
I pjevački zbor što vam je slavan,jer milinu svojim glasom sije,on je ponos kod udruge vašei nastupa diljem Slavonije.
And your singing choir of wide renown,sowing sweet delight with voices clear,is the pride of your association,and all through Slavonia they appear.
Svojim glasom divne pjesme poje,u matici ima mjesto svoje,a za Čepin posebna je dikai udruzi umirovljenika.
Lovely songs they sing with voices bright,in the union they hold their place by right,and for Čepin they're a special prize,for the pensioners' own club likewise.
Svi u zdravlju i veselju bili,pratila vas i radost i sreća,mnogo ljeta penziju primali,makar bila i ponešto veća.
May you all in health and gladness live,joy and happiness to see you through;draw your pension many summers long,and may it grow a little bigger, too!
Nek' vam bude veselo i živo,pozdravlja vas pjesnik Benak Ivo!
May your days be lively, full of cheer:Benak Ivo, poet, greets you here!
