Poštovani Branko!
Occasional verse and dedications
Dear Branko!
Na njedrima SlavonijeIvankovo tu se sviloSložan narod toga mjestaO ljepoti sela snilo
On Slavonia's bosom, here,Ivankovo nestled down;and the close-knit people theredreamed of beauty for their town.
Ivankovo gradić maliU svom radu vi ste znaliSve što treba IvankovuSvojim radom vi ste dali
Ivankovo, small and dear,in your work you saw it clear:all that Ivankovo needed,by your labour, you brought here.
Zbog ljepote vašeg radaTo će narod cijenit znatiZa dogradnju IvankovaPovjerenje će vam dati
For the beauty of your workpeople's praise will be your due;to keep building Ivankovothey will place their trust in you.
