Occasional verse and dedications
To Jozo Dubrović
Želim da nam knjiga ovaDivno prijateljstvo spaja.Družiti se, ta ljepota,Stvara ljudskoj duši sjaja.
May this book of ours, I pray,bind us in a friendship fine.Keeping company — such beauty —makes the human spirit shine.
Kad radosno srce kuca,Toj ljepoti nema kraja,S prijateljem sreću dijelit,Od tog nema ljepšeg raja.
When the heart is beating gladly,to that beauty there's no end;there's no lovelier paradisethan to share joy with a friend.
Ova pjesma neka budeNježnost ljudskog osjećaja,Među nama neka traje,Veza da nas ne odvaja!
Let this poem be the tenderfeeling of a human heart;let it last between us, everas a bond that will not part!
Dvadeset i četvrti jeTo veljača još nam traje,Dv'je tisuće i trina'jste,Pišem ove osjećaje!
It's the twenty-fourth, and hereFebruary still holds tight;two thousand thirteen's the year,as these feelings now I write!
