U veselom društvu
In Merry Company
Jednom dok sam pioplješevičko vino.Desetak je ljetaono bilo staro,pijanstvo je meni,ovu hrabrost dalo.Priđoh jednoj ženii oslovim fino.
Once, while I was drinkingPlješevica wine,a vintage that had agedten summers, more or less;the drunkenness had lentme all this daring;up to a lady I wentand spoke to her so fine.
"Oprostite ima l'tu mjesta za mene?Ne samo za stolom,već u srcu vašem."I još sam ja htionešto da joj kažem,ali kakav poglednepoznate žene.
"Pardon me, is therea place for me that's free?Not just at your table,but within your heart."I wanted to say more,I'd only made a start,but what a look that lady,a stranger, gave to me!
"Izvolite sjesti,jedno mjesto ima,ali srce mojesad pripada drugom."Uto mi se grudiispuniše tugom.Rado bih njen bio,baš za inat svima.
"Please, do take a seat,there's one place, that's all,but this heart of minehas already found its mate."And hearing that, at oncemy breast bore sorrow's weight.Gladly I'd be hers,just to spite them all.
