Sijeno za krave
Hay for Cows
Preko burze prodana mi koza,ostalo mi sijena za tri voza.
The Burza sold my goat for me, and soI've hay enough for three cartloads to go.
Ne znam tona koliko to važe,ali znadem da ga ljudi traže.
I couldn't say how many tons they weigh,but people want it, that much I can say.
U trendu su opet suhe trave,ne daj Bože da polude krave.
Dry grasses are in fashion once again:God grant the cows don't go mad, amen!
Mljevene kosti i riblje brašno,na tov junadi djeluje snažno.
Ground bones and fishmeal make a potent feedfor fattening young cattle up at speed.
Ljudi su kravama tu smjesu dali,da sebe truju to nisu znali.
People fed cows that mixture, never knowingthat it was their own poison they were sowing.
I malim telcima već je jasno,da meso kravama nije slasno.
Why, even little calves know well, no doubt,that meat is not a dish cows rave about.
Tako od postanka znaju krave,da ne jedu meso, već samo trave.
Since time began, the cows have always knownthey don't eat meat, but grass, and grass alone.
A kod mene takve trave ima,pa i sada, makar je zima.
And grass like that I've got here, in good store,even now, with winter at the door.
Sve u suhom štaglju pohranjeno,miriši fino to suho sijeno.
It's all stored in a dry barn, safe and sound,and that dry hay smells lovely all around.
Ne tražim profita, ni zarade prave,već da vam krave ostanu zdrave.
I'm not out after profit, gain or wealth;I only want your cows to keep their health.
Tko poželi sijena dati kravi,neka se na moj telefon javi:
Whoever wants to give his cow some hay,let him ring my telephone right away:
652 - osamsto dvadeset jedan,za zdravlje krava bit ću sretan.
652 – eight hundred twenty-one;for healthy cows, I'll be a happy one.
