Obitelji Klement!
Occasional verse and dedications
To the Klement Family!
Oduvijek sam ja rakijaš bio,na kirvaju rakiju sam pio.Tek ona mi od sveg srca štima,iz flašice koja gače ima.Prekrila je svoje divne grudi,slatka mašta u srcu se budi.Nek' vam bude veselo i živo,uslast pili: želi Čika Ivo!
I've been a rakija man my whole life through,at kirvaj I drank my rakija too.But she alone suits me with all my heart,poured from a flask in trousers, looking smart.She's covered up her lovely bosom, too,and in the heart sweet fancies wake anew.So may your time be merry, lively, bright,and Čika Ivo wishes: drink with delight!

Translator's note. A label for a bottle of rakija dressed up in trousers, a present to his relatives for the kirvaj, the village saint's-day feast. Čika means uncle.
