Za Društvo prijatelja starina
Occasional verse and dedications
For the Society of Friends of Antiquities
Topli pozdrav svima Vama želimi skupštini ovoj se veselim.
Warm regards I wish to all of you,and I'm glad of this assembly too.
Slušam divne rezultate vaše,dobar uspjeh i smjernice rada,ovog časa što predsjednik kaže,ja čestitam svima vama sada.
I have heard the fine results you've shown,your success, your work's direction too,which the president has just made known;I congratulate you, all of you.
A skupština u ovome času,neka novu izabere Vladu,jer će ona sa puno elana,vodit društvo u budućem radu.
And may this assembly, at this hour,choose a brand-new "Government" today,for with lots of zeal and energyit will lead our work along the way.
Dobar uspjeh novom predsjednikui odboru nek' se rada prima.Plodonosni rad skupštini našoj,ja iskreno želim sada svima.
Good success to our new president;may the board take up its work anew;fruitful labour to our meeting here:that is my sincere wish for all of you.
Da bi naše društvo održali,na godinu aktivniji bili,LIJEPOM NAŠOM ugodno družilii KUTICE razne pohađali.
To keep our society alive,next year let's be more active than before,meet as friends in Our Lovely Land once more,and at many little nooks arrive.
Prošlog ljeta mi smo se družili,u Zagrebu lijepo se proveli,u Križevci na proštenju bilii restoran „PARK“ smo posjetili.
Last summer, as good friends, we got away,and in Zagreb had a splendid stay,to Križevci's church fair we made our way,and called at the restaurant "Park" that day.
I još jedna postoji vrlina,što je ljetos naše društvo smoglo,da se sazna o našoj stariniMatici je hrvatskoj pomoglo.
And there's one more virtue to be shown,that our club this summer has achieved:so that our old heritage be known,Matica hrvatska our help received.
Za nas mladost više ne postoji,jer smo časno mi DRUŠTVO STARINA,trebali bi više se družiti,to bi bila baš prava milina.
Youth for us is gone, it is no more,we're the honoured Antiques' Club, it's clear;we should get together more as friends,that would be a real delight and cheer.
Svi u zdravlju i veselju bili.Uživajmo veselo bez rada.Mnogo ljeta skupa se družili,ne tražimo svetog Petra vrata.
In good health and gladness may you stay,let's rejoice, no work, just celebrate!Many summers may we meet this way,let's not go looking for Saint Peter's gate.
Ostvarenje svih naših snova:želi pjesnik Ivo iz Valpova!
May all our dreams come true, both high and low:so wishes poet Ivo from Valpovo!
