Radni oglas
A Job Ad
Momentalno u krizu sam pao,preko burze sve sam rasprodao.
Right now I've fallen on hard times, I fear:I sold off all I had on the Burza here.
Više ništa za prodaju nemam,zato sada ovaj oglas spremam.
There's nothing left to sell, not one thing more,and that is what this ad of mine is for.
Kao firma koja što prodaje,moja ličnost sada oglas daje.
Just like a firm with goods it has to sell,I place an ad in my own name as well.
Tko što ima, neka mi se javi,da napišem za vas oglas pravi.
Whoever's got some goods, just give a ring:I'll write a proper ad for anything.
Za predmete, dragi ljudi znajte,sve podatke opširno mi dajte.
For every item, dear folk, understand,give me the details, all of them, first-hand.
Vjerujte mi, nije loše znati,ja ću oglas rimovani dati.
Believe me, it's a handy thing to know:I'll write your ad in rhyme, and make it flow.
Taj se oglas vrlo rado sluša,njega prima svaka nježna duša.
An ad like that is one folk love to hear,and every gentle soul will hold it dear.
Prodat ću vam sve iz kuće živo,to vam jamči iz Valpova Ivo.
I'll sell whatever's in your house, you'll see:Ivo from Valpovo gives his guarantee.
Sijeno, slamu, ljutu šljivovicu,stari traktor, pa i prikolicu.
Hay, straw, and slivovitz that bites the tongue,a tractor, and a trailer, neither young.
Telad, krave, svinje, pa i kozei nerasta PIJATRENSKE loze.
Calves, cows, and pigs, and goats, and one thing more:a pure-bred PIÉTRAIN-bloodline breeding boar.
Pa i onu automatsku spravu,koja muze u štalici kravu.
And that contraption, automatic too,that milks the cow inside the barn for you.
Stare gume, sa felgama skupa,pa i hondu, važno da ne lupa.
Old tyres, with rims together, one and all,a Honda too, if it won't knock or stall.
Malo janje, oh, tako mu sreće,pa i kazan što rakiju peče.
A little lamb (the lucky little mite!),a still that cooks the rakija just right.
Ružmarine i mirisno cvijeće,stari auto, važno da se kreće.
Rosemary, fragrant flowers in a row,an old car too, as long as it will go.
I kukuruz, makar je od lanei piliće dobro očupane.
And maize, although it's last year's crop, and thensome chickens, nicely plucked, both cock and hen.
Veš mašinu i kuću sa Drave,dobar hladnjak i rol šue prave.
A washer, and the Drava house as well,a good fridge, proper roller blinds to sell.
Stol, stolice, krevet i madrace,sam da nisu sa najlon pijace.
A table, chairs, a bed and mattress too,but not from the nylon market: that won't do.
Prodat ću vam sve kućanske sprave,važno da su kvalitetne prave.
I'll sell your household gadgets, great and small,so long as they're good quality, that's all.
Da prodamo višak vaših stvari,javite se na telefon stari.
To sell the extra things you have to spare,just ring my same old telephone: I'm there.
6 5 2 osamsto dvadeset jedan,neka bude sreće ovaj tjedan.
6 5 2 eight hundred twenty-one:may luck be with us till this week is done.
