Poštovana Jadranka Berak!
Occasional verse and dedications
Dear Jadranka Berak!
Za potrebe moje sada,Vi ste knjigu uljepšali,tu ljepotu Vašeg rada,to jedino Vi ste znali.
For my needs, just now, you've madethis book lovelier to view;all that beauty of your tradeonly you knew how to do.
Vi ste mene zadužili,u zahvali nemam kraja,Vi ste zato zaslužiliu slikarstvu pravog raja.
You have put me in your debt;endless thanks come from my heart;that is why you ought to geta true paradise in art.
U životu sretni bili,ostvarili svoje snove.Od srca Vam ovo želiautor male knjige ove!
May you live in joy, and lookon your dreams at last come true;this, the author of this book,from his heart now wishes you!
Zato da bi vedri bilii vesele snove snili,nek' Vam bude knjiga ovauspavanka divnih snova!
So that you'll be glad and bright,dreaming merry dreams at night,let this little book of minelull you into dreams divine!
