Dječji snovi
Children's Dreams
Sanjao je mali Davorpalačinku kao lavor,tortu filom napunjenu,čokoladom prelivenu.
Little Davor, sleeping, spieda big pancake, washtub-wide,and a cake packed full of cream,chocolate-covered: what a dream!
Sanelica, mala maza,dobila od Djeda Mrazaposlastica razne vrste,sada mljacka, liže prste.
Sanelica, little dear,got from Grandfather Frost this yeartreats of every sort, and nowlicks her fingers, smacks, and how!
Čujte samo malog Vladu!Dobio od svoga bratas lješnjacima čokoladuveliku k´o sobna vrata.
Listen, Vlado's gift's the star!From his brother (what a score!):a whole hazelnut chocolate barbig as any bedroom door!
Jedna Jela iz mog selau snu uvijek nosi sliku:ona želi za rođendančokoladu i barbiku.
In my village, Jela dreamsalways of the self-same thing:chocolate and a Barbie doll,she hopes her birthday will bring.
Željka opet od Damirau snovima nema mira,prkosi joj, viče, svirai lutkice njene dira.
Željka's dreams have lost their joys:Damir spoils them with his noise,he defies her, toots, annoys,and he pokes her dolls and toys.
Jutros Pero trlja oči,imao je sanak buran:sanjao je prošle noćida ga juri strašni puran.
Pero rubs his sleepy eyes:what a stormy dream he had!Dreamed last night, to his surprise,a fierce turkey chased the lad.
A Ivica od mog stricanoću glasno viče: Howgh!Sanja da je poglavica,baca koplje, tomahawk.
Ivica, my uncle's boy,shouts at night out loud: "Howgh!"Dreams he's chief and, full of joy,throws his spear and tomahawk.
Stevica je čudnog soja,pravi nered, zbrku živu.Često sanja kauboja,poglavicu juri Ivu.
Stevica's a curious sort,makes a mess all round the place;dreams he's a cowboy who, for sport,gives Chief Ivo a good chase.
Znate onog Miru, zloću,što po kući sve prevrće?Ružne snove sanja noćuda ga tata šibom tuče.
Know young Miro, little pest,who turns all the house askew?Nasty dreams disturb his rest:Dad's switch gives him what he's due!
Zapamtite, tko je miotaj po noći divno sanja,ali tko je zločest bio,toga ljuta šiba ganja.
So remember: each good childhas sweet dreams the whole night through;but the naughty and the wild,feel the stinging switch pursue.
