A Monitor

Ja monitor nudim svima,tko potrebu za njeg' ima.

I've a monitor to sparefor whoever needs one there.

Istina je, ljudi moji,monitor je taj u boji.

Honest truth, my people dear:it's in colour, bright and clear.

On čak petnaest inča ima,za kompjuter svaki štima.

Fifteen inches, if you please,fits computers all with ease.

Morate još nešto znati,ja ne tražim da se plati.

One more thing you ought to know:I won't ask you for the dough.

Istina je ovo, ljudi,monitor se đabe nudi.

Folks, it's true as true can be:the monitor is offered free.

Trenutak je ovo pravi,tko ga treba nek' se javi.

Now's the moment, don't delay:if you need it, call today.

Na telefon ovaj tjedan:652 – osamsto dvadeset jedan.

Ring this week, and get it done:652 – eight hundred twenty-one.

Telefonski broj iz pjesme više nije u upotrebi.

The phone number in this poem is no longer in use.

Translator's note. A Radio burza verse ad, giving the monitor away for nothing.
