Poštovani gospodine Bojane
Occasional verse and dedications
Dear Mr Bojan
Sretnu Novu sada vama želim,puno sreće, zdravlja i veselja.Dv'je tisuće četrnaesto ljeto,nek Vam bude uspješno i sretno!
A Happy New Year now I wish to you,much luck and health and joy the whole year through.The year two thousand fourteen — may it besuccessful for you, happy, trouble-free!
Pratili Vas samo sretni dani,nek Vam bude bolje nego lani.Na svom radu divno se družili,svoje snove sretno ostvarili!
May only happy days attend you here,and may this year be better than last year!At work may all your fellowship be sweet,and may your dreams come true, your joy complete!
Vi u zdravlju sreću uživali,s najdražima u ljepoti snili,cijelo ljeto u veselju bilii ugodne dane provodili.
In health may happiness for you be found,with those most dear may lovely dreams abound;may you be full of gladness all year round,and may your days with pleasantness be crowned.
Put života bio Vam što duži,Vašem biću neka sretno služi,Ovu želju sretno proživjeli:to Vam pjesnik Benak Ivo želi!
May your life's road run long and far and wide,and serve you well, with fortune at your side;may you live out this wish, and see it true:this, poet Benak Ivo wishes you!
U Valpovu dva'jst osmog prosinca,dv'je tisuće trina'jstoga ljeta.Sa čestitkom ovom ja Vam želim:punim zdravljem da Vam život cvjeta!
In Valpovo, December twenty-eight,the year two thousand thirteen, is the date.With these good wishes, this is what I say:may your life bloom in full health every day!
