Zlatna ribica
Occasional verse and dedications
The Golden Fish
Upecao ribar ribicu zlatnu,tu bajku mi pričao djeda moj,sada želja ostvari se svima,ti nazovi samo čarobni broj.
A fisherman once caught a golden fish:my granddad told that fairy tale to me;now everyone can have their wish come true,just dial the magic number, and you'll see.
Pa utorkom kada dnevnik mine,na TV-u emisija ima,kažu zlatna ribica se zove,čudne želje ispunjava svima.
On Tuesday nights, after the evening news,the television has a programme, too;"The Golden Fish", they say, is what it's called,and everybody's strangest wish comes true.
Pjesmu Ne budi me, majko, rano,želja mi je velika, da znate,da ju pjeva Ivo Pattiera,a DUKATI ZLATNI da ga prate.
My song, "Don't Wake Me Early, Mother":it is my great wish, I'd have you know,that Ivo Pattiera should sing it,and Zlatni dukati back him on the show.
Moja želja vrlo je skromna.Ja ne tražim auto, ni dvosoban stan,već iskreno molim RIBICU ZLATNU,da mi se ostvari životni san.
My wish is a very modest one.I don't ask for a car, or a two-room flat,but sincerely I beg the Golden Fishto grant me my lifelong dream, just that.
