Poštovanom Hrvoju Grbeši!
Occasional verse and dedications
To the Esteemed Hrvoje Grbeša!
Ova knjiga: "ZEKINA JE SREĆA",za djecu je ona meni treća.Tu se zeko sad od sreće smije,jer ga ŠARKO uhvatio nije.
This book of mine, called "BUNNY'S LUCK", you see,is the third one for children made by me.Here Bunny's laughing now for sheer delight,since ŠARKO hasn't caught him — he's all right!
Da dječica ne bi bila sama,ovu knjigu nek im čita mama.Kad naštima tata tamburicu,on će djeci svirati pjesmicu.
So that the children won't be lonely, come,and let this little book be read by Mum!And when Dad tunes each tamburica string,he'll play a little song for them to sing.
Kada djeca legnu prije snova,nek' čitana bude knjiga ova.Djeca će vam divne snove sniti,a ujutro vesela će biti.
When children go to bed and dreams begin,let this book here be read, once they're tucked in.The children then will have the sweetest dreams,and wake up merry when the morning gleams.
Pa snivajte i vi divne snove,to Vam želi autor pjesme ove!
So you, too, dream sweet dreams the whole night through:this poem's author wishes it for you!
