Chicks for Sale
Pilići mali, tek su progledali,bez svoje majke oni su ostali.
Tiny chicks, their eyes just opened wide;they're left without their mother by their side.
Samo cvrkuću, milina neka,ne znaju kakva ih sudbina čeka.
They only cheep and chirp, a joy to hear;they don't know what fate waits for them, I fear.
Možda ih netko udomi za se,skoro badava dajem ih, zna se.
Perhaps someone will take them home to keep;I'm all but giving them away, dirt cheap.
Zato sad javljam, da bi tko znao,za pet kunića, ja bi ih dao.
So now I'm telling you, so people know:for five small kuna I will let them go.
Oni su zdravi, nemaju gripu,sve ih prodajem u jednom hipu.
They're healthy, and they haven't got the flu;I'll sell them in one go, the whole lot, too.
Neka se kupac sa cvrkutom javi,na moj telefon jedini i pravi.
Let buyers ring me up and chirp helloon my one proper telephone, you know.
Šest, pet, dva, osam, dva, jedan,da ih zbrinem, da ne budem sjetan.
Six, five, two, eight, two, one,so they're cared for, and my fretting's done.
