Dragi Bruno
Occasional verse and dedications
Dear Bruno
Da bi divne snove snio,a ujutro vedar bio,nek' ti mama svako veče'iz "ZEKINE čita SREĆE".
So you'll dream the sweetest dreamsand wake bright when morning gleams,let your mother nightly tuckyou in and read "BUNNY'S LUCK".
Pa ćeš slatko ti usnutii predivne snove sniti,a ujutro kad se dignešveseo ćeš, Bruno, biti.
Then you'll sweetly fall asleep,dream such wondrous dreams, and then,in the morning, when you rise,Bruno, you'll be glad again.
Nek' ti bude u životuostvarena želja svaka.To ti žele od sveg srca:djeda tvoj i tvoja baka!
May each wish you ever makein your life come true for you.This with all their hearts they wish:Grandpa and your Granny too!
