Kočijama uspješna godina
Occasional verse and dedications
A Successful Year to Kočije
Sretan Božić i Novu Godinu!U svom radu uspjeha imalitamburicom tu divnu milinuslušateljstvu svu ljepotu dali!
A Happy Christmas and a glad New Year!May you have great success in all you do,and with the tamburica, sweet and clear,give all your listeners its beauty too!
Za sva djela što ste učinili,tamburicom u godini ovojja vam želim uspjeha još više,ostvarili u godini novoj!
For all the things that you've accomplished herewith tamburica in this passing year,I wish you even more success to come,achieved in the new year that's drawing near!
Nastupima ovjenčali slavujer slavonci svi KOČIJE znaju.Ja vam želim pjesmu onu pravu:„ŠOKADIJO MOJ VOLJENI KRAJU!“
With your performances you've crowned your fame,for all Slavonians know Kočije's band;I wish you that true song, the one I name:“Šokadija, My Beloved Land!”
Pratili vas svuda FESTIVALIi na njima uspjehe nizali.Pa ARANŽMAN ŠOKADIJI dalisa tom pjesmom dično nastupali.
May festivals go with you everywhere,and may you string successes, rich and rare;for “Šokadija”, arranging was your care,and with that song you proudly filled the air.
Svaku krizu sretno savladalii KOČIJE časno nastupali.Na tamburi žice naštimali,Slavoniji svu ljepotu dali.
May every crisis happily give way,and may Kočije honourably play;you tuned your tambura strings, and to this dayyou gave Slavonia beauty's full display.
Ona pjesma što sam napisao,izvedena od Oreškovića,da će biti divna, to sam znao,sa tamburom izvedena priča.
The song I wrote — I knew it from the start —performed by Orešković, would not fail,would be a lovely one, a work of art,and on the tambura would tell its tale.
Sve najbolje vama sada želim,vašem radu i ja se veselim.Uspješna vam bila godinica:od srca vam to želi Ivica!
I wish you all the very best today,and I rejoice in all your work and play.May this dear little year go well for you:so wishes Ivica, with heart that's true.
