Poštovani prijatelju Željko!
Occasional verse and dedications
To My Friend Željko, on a Bottle of Rakija
Puno cijenim tvoju promociju,zato dajem ovu rakijicu,da Ti srce aktivnije bude,pa obraduj svoje drage ljude.Ti ne čekaj cijelu godinicu,već iznjedri sad novu knjižicu.Učini si ugodno veselje:to ti Tvoji prijatelji žele!I napiši to ugodno štivo:od srca ti želi Benak Ivo!
I prize your book launch highly, and for thatthis little rakija to you I send,so that your heart may beat more lively yet;then gladden your dear people, don't forget!Don't wait a whole long year: your talents lendto a new little booklet now, my friend!Enjoy yourself with pleasant, merry cheer:your friends all wish you this, all gathered here!And write that pleasant reading — have a go!So wishes, from the heart, Benak Ivo!
