Za sretnu 2006. godinu, draga Željka
For a Happy 2006, Dear Željka
Kada dođe ljeto novo,mi želimo tebi ovo:Za života sretna bila,sa voljenim gnijezdo svila,ne bilo ti sreći krajai zemaljskog divnog raja,a umjesto skromnog dara,dajemo ti malo para,da se malo proveseliši da kupiš što poželiš,minula te boljka svaka,to ti žele djed i baka!
When the New Year comes in view,this is what we wish for you:may your life be happy, blessed,with your loved one build your nest;may your joy have no decline,nor earth's paradise divine;and instead of a present small,here's a little cash, that's all,so you'll have some fun and cheer,buy the things you wish, my dear;every ailment pass away:so your Grandpa and Grandma say!
