Od čega se slatko spava
What Makes You Sleep Sweetly
ŠKOLSKA NASTAVA
In the Classroom
Imat ćemo danas temu,to će biti radost prava:"Recite mi sada, djeco,od čega se slatko spava?"
Here's the topic for today —it will be a real delight:"Tell me now, my children, whatmakes you sleep so sweet at night?"
"Reći ću vam nastavnice,meni kad sam bio mali",kaže Stevo očalinko,"čaj su mi od maka dali."
"I can tell you, Miss," says Stevo,four-eyed Stevo, "as a ladI was given poppy tea:that's the stuff I always had."
Baš su sinoć o toj temi,raspravljale moje tete,pa su onda jasno rekle,da ne mogu bez tablete.
Just last night my aunties arguedthis same topic, and they said,very plainly, they can't sleepif they take no pill to bed.
"Od bibera, nastavnice,to vam mogu dokazati.Sinoć moji kad su legli,počeli su se maziti."
"It is pepper, that's the answer!I can prove it, Miss, to you:last night, when my folks lay down,they began to kiss and coo."
Onda reče tata mami,to morate sada znati:"Da ti, srce, zabiberim,pa ćeš slatko ti spavati."
Then my dad said to my mum(this is something you should hear):"Let me pepper you, my love,and you'll sleep so sweetly, dear."
