Pokraj Drave kuća mala
A Little House by the Drava
Vikendicu prodajem kraj Drave,da dočekaš u njoj zore plave.
By the Drava I'm selling a weekend place,where the blue dawns will greet you face to face.
Na prirodnoj ljepoti smješteno,sve okolo lijepo ograđeno.
It's set in natural beauty, and all roundit's nicely fenced, a tidy plot of ground.
Površine od šesto kvadrata,za odmor je nakon teškog rada.
It covers some six hundred metres square,for resting after heavy labour there.
A to vam je prava vikend zona,vikendica na njoj od vagona.
It's a proper weekend zone, a real retreat;the cottage is a railway wagon — neat!
I bunar je pokraj vikendice,nakon snova da umiješ lice.
And by the cottage there's a well for youto wash your face in when your dreams are through.
Pitka, hladna u njemu je voda,ukusna je kao TRAUBI SODA.
Its water's cold and fit for you to drink,as tasty as a TRAUBI SODA, I think.
Tu su šljive koje dobro rode,za rakiju, eto ljudi zgode.
There are plum trees, too, that bear a good lot;for rakija, folks, here's a chance you've got!
Orah, višnja što plodove daju,za kolače, to ženice znaju.
A walnut and sour cherry bear as well;for cakes — the wives know that, no need to tell.
Poljski WC i šupa još priđe,molim kupce nek' dođu da vide.
An outhouse and a shed come with the lot;I ask the buyers: come and see the spot.
Ljepota je k'o u bajnom dvoru,a cijena je sve po dogovoru.
It's lovely as a fairy palace hall;the price is by agreement, after all.
Zovite me kupci svakog dana,neka zvoni telefon mog stana.
So call me, buyers, call me every day,and let the phone in my flat ring away.
