Skromnost!
Modesty!
Ja ne tražim mnogo.Skroman hoću biti.Ja ne trebam kule,gradove ni vile.Ja ne tražim zlata,ni dukat ispod vrata.Ja ne želim biti,ni heroj u boju,već želim tebei ljubav tvoju.
I don't ask for much.Modest I would be.I don't need towers,castles, or villas.I seek no golden thing,no ducat on a string.I don't wish to bea hero in the war;I want only youand your love, nothing more.

Translator's note. Gold ducats worn at the throat were part of a Slavonian woman's festive folk dress, and a sign of a family's wealth.
