For Vladimir Nazor Primary School, Komletinci
Draga djeco, dragi đaci,da vam budu ljepši sati,a dosada da se skrati,da ne stane dnevnih briga,evo vama moja knjiga,pa ju lijepo pročitajte,veselja si srcu dajte.U životu sretni bilii petice ostvarili.
Dearest children, pupils dear,so your hours be full of cheer,and your boredom disappear,so your daily cares give way,here's my book for you today:read it nicely, through and through,give your hearts some gladness too.May you live in happy ways,and may you all get straight A's!
U čitanju nek' vam knjigapruži radost i veselje,stvarajući ovu knjigu,to su bile moje želje.Bili sretni i veselii snivali divne snove,od sveg srca vama želi:mali Zeko knjige ove!Ne bilo vam nikad krivo,to vam želi pjesnik Ivo.
As you read, may this book bring youhappiness and merry cheer;as I made it, this was alwayswhat I wished, my wish sincere.May you all be glad and sunny,dream sweet dreams the whole night through:from his heart the little Bunnyof this book so wishes you!May you never feel put out:that's the poet Ivo's wish, no doubt!
U Valpovu, jednog sata,tridesetoga listopada,eto to je bilo - znajte,dvije tisuće i dvanaeste!
In Valpovo, at an hourof October's thirtieth day,that is when it was — take note —two thousand and twelve, I say!
