Poštovani gospodine Darko!
Occasional verse and dedications
Dear Mr Darko!
Nek Vam ova knjiga bude, Darko,kao dokaz da vas vrlo cijenim,ovo naše divno prijateljstvo,neka traje, ja iskreno želim.
May this book of mine, Darko, be the proofof how highly I esteem you, friend;and this lovely friendship that we share,may it last, I wish, and never end.
Spojilo nas kolo na Ćimenu,što Marijance krasi još odavno,poznata je to smotra folklora,na Petrovo što se slavi javno.
We were brought together by the koloon the Ćimen, Marijanci's pride of old;it's a well-known festival of folklore,held on Petrovo for all to behold.
Da bi ljudi za Marijance znali,iskrene su bile moje želje,pa sam javno objavio pjesmu:NA ĆIMENU ŠOKAČKO VESELJE!
That the world might come to know Marijanci,honest was my wish and my intent,so I published, openly, a poem:ON THE ĆIMEN, ŠOKAC MERRIMENT!
U toj knjizi na dvanaestoj strani,tu je pjesma svoju vrijednost dalai služi nam slika k'o reklama,zato će nam ona reći HVALA!
In that book, upon page twelve, it's printed;there the poem proved what it could do,and the picture serves us as an advert:so to us it's going to say THANK YOU!
