Osvrt kroz Sopje
A Look Around Sopje
Kada kreneš cestom Podravinekoja veže Slavonske ravnice,tu ljepotu i gledat je milo,eto, tu se Sopje nastanilo.
When you travel the Podravina roadthat connects Slavonia's level plains,such a beauty, lovely just to see:look, right there is where Sopje came to be.
Od drugoga stoljeća, još davno,Sopje broji svoja ljeta slavno.Vrijedni ljudi sa svačim se bave,događaje važne oni slave.
Since the second century, so long,Sopje counts its summers, proud and strong.Busy folk, they work in every way,and they celebrate each honoured day.
Dan općine četvrti je svibnja,Florijanu ljudi zavjet daju,da ne bude velikih požara,kao Patoš što Sopjani znaju.
Fourth of May's the Municipal Day;people make to Florian their vowthat no great fire like Patoš strike again:Sopje folk remember it even now.
U proljeće MAIPANI se sade,to mladići znak curama daju,jer ujesen svatovi se prave,neka budu spremne za udaju.
Springtime sees the maypoles in the ground:that's how lads tell girls what's on the way,for when autumn's weddings come around,let the girls be ready for that day.
Kada Dravsko proljeće osvane,to je smotra narodnog folklora,KUD "Podravac" slavi svoje dane,tu ljepotu doživjet se mora.
When the Dravsko proljeće dawns again,it's the people's folklore on full show;KUD "Podravac" celebrates it then:that's a beauty you must come to know.
VIDOVO se u ljepoti slavi,kirvaj Sopja što odavno traje.Skupljaju se prijatelji pravi,da proslave stare običaje.
Vidovo's a feast so fine and fair,Sopje's church fair, held since days of old;all the truest friends are gathered there,all the good old customs to uphold.
IVANJE se slavi još odavno,u ljepoti dobro odigranood Udruge "Sportske rekreacije"sa ljepotom Sopju odigrano.
St John's Day's been kept since long ago,finely played, in beauty, every part,by the club called "Sports Recreation",played for Sopje with a lovely art.
Kad Marija Magdalena dođe,drugi kirvaj što u Sopju traje,pa kroz Sopje sva ljepota prođe,to crkvene slave običaje.
When Mary Magdalene's day draws nigh,second church fair Sopje keeps each year,then through Sopje beauty passes by:customs of the church feast, held so dear.
Sopjani se sa agrarom bave,rodne njive plodove im daju.Sve praznike u svom selu slave,zato žive u zemaljskom raju.
Sopje's people farm and till the land;fertile fields give fruit to those who sow;all their feasts they keep in their own land,so they live in paradise below.
Nogometni klub "Podravac" slavni,od davnina svoja ljeta broji.U Sopjanskom kraju on je glavni.Četrdeset šeste još postoji.
Football club "Podravac", far renowned,counts its summers back to long ago;first in all of Sopje's lands around,it's been there since 'forty-six, you know.
Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo,već stotinjak godina on niže,sve požare u Sopju i bliže,svojim radom ugasiti stiže.
And the Volunteer Fire Brigadecounts a hundred years or so today;fires in Sopje, and not far away,with its work it quells without delay.
KUD "Podravac" u selu je dika,Slavonijom ponosno nastupa.Tamburaši i folklorna grupa,sve uspjehe oni čine skupa.Bruji žica i vrisne Šokica,pa odjekne Sopjanska ravnica.Ej, Sopjani, bili puni cvijeća,u svom radu pratila vas sreća.
KUD "Podravac", the village's delight,all through Slavonia performs with pride;tambura players, dancers, far and wide,win their triumphs, working side by side.Strings hum, and a Šokica cries out,and the Sopje plain rings all about.Hey, you Sopje folk, be full of flowers,may good luck attend your working hours!
