Zimska idila
Winter Idyll
Mraz je pao i studen me hvata,došla zima i na moja vrata.Sav se ježim kad vjetar zacvili,a da li ste ogrjev nabavili?I peć kakvu da vas toplo grije,usred zime kada snijeg zavije?
The frost has come, the cold has gripped me fast,and winter's reached my door as well at last.I shiver all over when the wind wails high,and have you laid your winter firewood by?And have you got a stove to keep you warmin deep midwinter, in the drifting storm?
Nudim kamin od čistoga tuča,da vam bude topla cijela kuća.U požeškom "PLAMENU" sagrađen,ni jedanput još nije naložen.Na plin nije, ni na struju nije,već na kruto gorivo on grije.
I've a fireplace of pure cast iron to sell,to keep your whole house warm, and keep it well.In Požega's "PLAMEN" works it was made,and not a single fire in it's been laid.It's not on gas, it's not electric-fed;it heats on solid fuel, like wood, instead.
Sniježak prši, a vatra pucketa,topla soba kao usred ljeta.Kamin grije, žena kavu sprema,mačor prede, kraj kamina drijema.I zima će kraće da vam traje,tu idilu samo kamin daje.
The snowflakes swirl, the fire crackles bright,the room's as warm as summer at its height.The fireplace warms, the wife makes coffee, andthe tomcat purrs and dozes close at hand.And winter will seem shorter as it goes;that idyll only a fireplace bestows.
Taj vam kamin stoji na oglede,svakog dana, od srijede do srijede.Da saznate, koliko je vrijedan,nazovite moj telefon:652 - osamsto dvadeset jedan.
The fireplace stands here waiting for your view,each day, from Wednesday round to Wednesday, too.To find out what it's worth, then, everyone,call up my telephone:652 – eight hundred twenty-one.
