Cvjećarnica Jele najbolja u gradu
Occasional verse and dedications
Jela's Flower Shop, the Best in Town
„ORHIDEJA“ to je cvjećarna u gradu.Sve što si poželiš, naći ćeš bez mane.Izrađuje Jela, u svojemu radu:bukete i vijence, razne aranžmane.
"ORHIDEJA" is the flower shop in town, and therewhatever you could wish for, flawless, you will find;and Jela, in her work, creates with every carebouquets and wreaths, and arrangements of every kind.
I na promociji, buketu mi dala,tu ljepotu moju divno okitila.Još jedanput, Jelo, ja Vam kažem HVALA!U čast moju tada, svečanost je bila.
At my book launch, too, she gave me a bouquet,and decked my lovely day as fine as it could be;once more, dear Jela, "THANK YOU" is what I say!The celebration then was held to honour me.
Za potrebe moje, donaciju dala.U dobroti njenoj, ona nema kraja.To predivnoj ženi, najtoplije Hvala!Ja joj želim sreću zemaljskoga raja!
For my own needs, she gave a donation, too;her kindness knows no end, and boundless is its worth.To that most lovely woman, warmest thanks are due!I wish her all the joy of heaven here on earth!
Nek' Vam život, Jelo, bude kao cvijeće.U Vašemu radu, minula Vas briga,svakoga trenutka blistale Vam sreće!Uz zahvalu ovu, ide Vam i knjiga.
May your life, Jela, be like flowers blooming bright;in all your work, may every care come to an end;may every moment sparkle with good fortune's light;and with these thanks, a book to you I also send.
