Ovaj dom je utočište vaše
This Home Is Your Refuge
Svima vama što ste u tom Domuusamljeni u životu svomu,tuga vas je morila u tami,noć je tiha, vi kod kuće sami.
To all of you who share this Home today,so lonely in your lives along the way:sorrow tormented you in dark of night,the night was still, at home, no one in sight.
Kuća prazna, sve iz kuće ode,nikog nema da ti pruži vode.U toj tuzi samoće su krive,zato ovdje štićenici žive.
The house is empty, all the rest have fled;there's none to hand you water by your bed.For such a grief it's loneliness to blame,and that is why the residents here came.
Ovaj Dom je za starije ljude,tu mnogima utočište nude,za sve one znane i neznane,da ugodno tu provedu dane.
This Home is meant for folk grown old and grey;for many it's a refuge where they stay,for everyone, the known and the unknown,to spend their days in ease, and not alone.
I starački dovukli se jadi,kao nekad niste više mladi,vi potrebe imate po noći,ovdje će vam osoblje pomoći.
The woes of old age have crept in at last;you are not young, the days of youth are past;and when at night you're needing any care,the staff will help you: they are always there.
Sjetite se kad ste mladi bilii ljubavne snove dok ste snili.I starost je ljepša kad se druži,to druženje Dom će da vam pruži.
Remember when you once were young, and whenyou dreamed the dreams of love you dreamed back then.And old age is more lovely shared with friends,and friendship is the thing this Home extends.
Nakon snova kad otvoriš oči,sve što trebaš Dom će ti pomoći.Dobar ručak i šetnja te čeka,prije snova posteljica meka.
When dreams are done and you open your eyes,the Home will help, whatever needs arise.A good lunch and a walk await you, thena soft, soft bed before you dream again.
Pa zar može nešto bolje biti,u noćima divne snove sniti.Vaša mladost u snove se vrati,u tom Domu sve ćete imati.
Now tell me, could there be a better thingthan dreaming lovely dreams the nights will bring?Your youth returns in dreams, as fresh as new,and in this Home there's everything for you.
Kad vas jutro iz toplog sna budii kad danak na ljepotu sluti,a prijatelj kraj tebe nasmije,eto, to su životne premije.
When morning wakes you from your cosy bedand the young day foretells fine things ahead,and when a friend beside you smiles at you,why, these are life's own bonuses come due.
