Sopju s ljubavlju
To Sopje, With Love
Podravino, mili zavičaju,selo Sopje u tebi se svilo.Nema ljepšeg od tvojega kraja,uvijek mi je tu najbolje bilo.
Podravina, my dear native land,Sopje village nestles in your breast;nothing's lovelier than your countryside,here is where I've always felt the best.
Kada Dravsko proljeće osvane,to je smotra narodnog folklora.KUD "Podravac" slavi svoje dane,tu ljepotu doživjet se mora.
When the Dravsko proljeće comes our way,that's a festival, a folklore show;KUD "Podravac" celebrates its day:such a beauty everyone should know.
Iz Mađarske i KUD-ovi naši,Sopju hrle na Dravsko proljeće.Kad se skupe dični folkloraši,i povorka kroz Sopje proteče.
From Hungary and our own KUDs too,to Sopje's Dravsko proljeće they throng;when the dancers gather, proud and true,through Sopje the procession flows along.
Tada kolo KUD „Podravac“ vije,a Šokica glasno pocikuje,na tamburi snažno žice bruje,preko Luke Greda odjekuje.
Then KUD "Podravac" spins the kolo wide,and the Šokica whoops, her cries resound,tambura strings hum with a mighty sound,over Luka, to Greda, echoes round.
VIDOVO se u ljepoti slavi,kirvaj Sopja što odavno traje.Skupljaju se prijatelji pravi,da proslave stare običaje.
Vidovo's kept in splendour, year on year,Sopje's kirvaj, held since olden days;true friends gather, loyal and sincere,celebrating all the good old ways.
Sopjani se sa agrarom bave,rodne njive plodove im daju.Sve praznike u svom selu slave,zato žive u zemaljskom raju.
Sopje's people farm and till the ground,and their fertile fields rich harvests give;they keep feasts at home the whole year round:so in earthly paradise they live.
Sve dok bude bilo Slavonijebit će uvijek Šokačkoga žara.Igrat će se kod općine kolo,uz tambure „Sopjanskih bećara“.
For as long as Slavonia shall stand,Šokac fire will never fade away;by the town hall they will dance the kolowhile the "Sopjanski bećari" play.
