Mačak
The Tomcat
Eh, da mogu mačak biti,makar i crn bio.Rado bih se mladoj ženi,ja u krilu svio.
Oh, if I could be a tomcat,black, for all I care,in a young wife's lap I'd gladlycurl up then and there.
Poznato je, mačori suumiljate ćudi.Nježno bih se ja mazio,uz njezine grudi.
It is known that tomcats havea sweet and winning way;tenderly I'd nuzzle closeagainst her breast and stay.
Noću bih se uvukao,sred njene postelje.Tada bih joj ispuniosve ljubavne želje.
In the night I'd creep right into the middle of her bed,and fulfil for her each wishlove could put into her head.
Svu ljepotu ove noći,toj bih ženi dao.Šapicom bih tijelo njenonježno milovao.
I would give that woman allthe beauty of this night;with my paw I'd stroke her bodytender, soft and light.
U tom času ja bih preovješto sa vretenom.Sve što trebam, našao bih,u krilašcu njenom.
At that moment I would purrlike a spindle's spin;all I need, I'd find it there,in her lap, tucked in.
Nakon nježnog milovanjai ljubavi strasne,opet bih u krilu njenom,sniv'o snove krasne.
After all the tender strokingand love's fiery heat,once again, curled in her lap,I'd dream dreams so sweet.
Eh, da mi je mačak biti!
Oh, if I could be a tomcat!
