Prijatelju Dokonalu!
Occasional verse and dedications
To My Friend Dokonal!
Imam jednog prijatelja,precizni je majstor pravi,kada mi se stroj pokvari,svojim znanjem ga popravi.
I have got a friend of mine,a true master, and precise;when a machine of mine breaks down,his skill mends it in a trice.
Godinama već pomaže,Dokonal mu Damir ime.Mašine mi održava,ponosim se ja sa time.
He's been helping me for years:Damir Dokonal, so he's known;he looks after my machines,and I'm proud of that, I own.
Ovo divno prijateljstvo,što je časno među nama,ta suradnja obostrana,neka traje godinama.
This fine friendship that we share,held in honour by us two,and our working hand in hand,may it last the long years through.
Zato ova knjiga moja,što je meni sudba dala,neka mu i ona sada,za nagradu kaže: HVALA!
So may this, my book, which fatehas bestowed on me, now too,as a token of reward,say to him a warm THANK YOU!
