Nudim finu šljivovicu
Fine Plum Brandy on Offer
Osim dobre šljivovice,imam ja i komovice.A stariji ljudi kažu,da je dobra za masažu.
Good plum brandy I can sell,and some pomace brandy as well.The old folk say, and they should know,it's good for massage, head to toe.
Ja vjerujem da je tako,bez rakije nije lako,u to sam se uvjerio,kad me stomak zabolio.
I believe it to be true:without rakija, what to do?I became convinced of itwhen my stomach ached a bit.
Najviše se ona voli,kada nekog zub zaboli,bilo koji, nema veze,makar onaj iz proteze.
It is loved the most, I've found,when a toothache comes around;any tooth at all will do,even one from dentures, too.
Još ako je prepečena,tek onda je korist njena.Zato neka ljudi znaju,takvu imam za prodaju.
And if it's been twice distilled,then its promise is fulfilled.So let all folk understand:I've got that kind for sale on hand.
Imam dobru rakijicu,prepečenu šljivovicu.Vjerujte mi, takvu imami narudžbe skromne primam.
I've got rakija, good and clear,twice-distilled from plums, right here.Trust me, I have got that kind,and small orders I don't mind.
Može litra ili deset,možda petnaest il' pedeset.A moje su skromne cijene,eto, to je sad od mene.
Take a litre, or take ten,fifteen, fifty — just say when!And my prices are but small;that's from me for now — that's all.
Javite se na telefon,svakog dana cijeli tjedan:Na šesto pedes't i dvaosamsto dvadeset jedan.
Ring me on the telephone,any day, till the week is done:at six hundred fifty-two,eight hundred twenty-one.
