Razmjena dobara
A Swap of Goods
Na burzi sam jučer oglas daoi sav krumpir odmah sam prodao.
I placed an ad on the Burza yesterday,and all my spuds were sold without delay.
Prođe jesen ide ljuta zima,a kod mene dobrog zelja ima.
The autumn's gone, and bitter winter's near,and I have got some first-rate cabbage here.
Kupus mijenjam za polu od giceil' za suhu šunku od prasice.
I'll swap my cabbage for half a pig, or howabout a dry-cured ham from a young sow?
Il' za pile, može i zaklano,samo nek' je dobro očupano.
Or for a chicken (slaughtered's fine by me),as long as it's been plucked well, feather-free.
Kad bih kakvog dobrog kupca znao,ja bih kupus i za prase dao.
If I knew any buyer, good and true,I'd give my cabbage for a piglet, too.
Može pura ili janjetina,to bi bila razmjena baš fina.
A turkey, or some lamb, would do as well:that's a fine swap, as anyone can tell.
Ja bih dao nešto para pridejerbo meso sa kupusom ide.
I'd add a little money to the deal,since meat and cabbage make a proper meal.
Javite se odmah dobri ljudi,jer se kupus za razmjenu nudi.
Good people, ring me up without delay:the cabbage is for swapping, not for pay.
Moj brzoglas bit će vrlo vrijedan,kupus nudim samo ovaj tjedan.
My swift-voice will work hard, so to speak;the cabbage is on offer just this week.
