Slavonac u brdima!
A Slavonian in the Hills!
Po brdima i klancima,kotlinama kao lonac.Hodam kao u lancima,jer rodom sam ja Slavonac.
Over hills and gorges steep,through the hollows like a pan,as in chains I trudge and creep,I'm a born Slavonian man.
Zato pođoh ja na niže,silazeći sa planine.Odoh svojoj kući bližeu slavonske te ravnine.
So I set off down the hill,coming off the mountain chains;nearer home I went, untilI was on Slavonia's plains.
Svud je lijepo za trenutak.Da me pusta želja mine,ja poželih topli kutak,bijela kruha i slanine.
Each place pleases at first look;so this longing would be through,all I wished was a warm nook,some white bread, and bacon too.
