„Zlatnom vezu“ i Borisu Šili!
Occasional verse and dedications
To "Zlatni Vez" and Boris Šili!
Sretan Božić i Novu Godinu,puno zdravlja i sreće imali,"ZLATNIM VEZOM" uspjehe nizali,od sveg srca, ja Vam želim Šili!
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,much health and happiness the whole year through,with "Zlatni vez" string up successes too:with all my heart, Šili, I wish it you!
Za sva djela što ste učinili,sa pjevanjem u godini ovoj,ja Vam želim uspjeha još više,Vi pjevali u godini novoj.
For everything you've done, and all your singingthroughout this year, which now is nearly through,I wish you more success, still more, and mayyou go on singing in the new year, too.
Vaša kasa neka bude puna,manje lipa, ali više kuna.Neka cikne na tamburi žicai sa Vama zapjeva ŠOKICA!
May your cash box be full, and not with tin:fewer lipas, but more kunas within!May the tambura string give out a ring,and along with you let "Šokica" sing!
Nastupima uživali slavu,sa uspjehom cijelu godinicu.Ja Vam želim pjesmu onu pravu,na POŽEGI pjevali ŠOKICU.
May your performances bring you acclaimand good success the whole year through;I wish you the right song, and here's its name:at Požega, may you sing "Šokica" too!
Pratili Vas svuda FESTIVALIi na njima uspjehe nizali,pa ARANŽMAN još ŠOKICI dalii sa VEZOM s njome nastupali.
May festivals go with you everywhere,and may you string up your successes there;then give "Šokica" an arrangement fair,and with the "Vez" perform it with great care.
Svaku krizu sretno savladali"ZLATNIM VEZOM" časno nastupali,na tamburi žice naštimali:OBIČAJE ŠOKCA izvodili.
May you come happily through every plight,perform with "Zlatni vez" in honour bright,set the tambura strings in tune, just right,and play the "Šokac Customs" with delight.
One pjesme što sam Vama dao,uglazbljene od Oreškovića,"ZLATNOM VEZU" u Vašoj izvedbi,nek' to bude omiljena priča.
Those songs of mine that I have given you,set to music by Orešković's hand,in your performance, "Zlatni vez", may theybecome a favourite tale throughout the land.
U ZAMP-u sam pjesme prijavio,pa i onu ŠOKCA OBIČAJE,naglasio da ju pjeva Šili,sa uspjehom istu izvodili.
I've registered the songs with ZAMP, each one,and "Šokac Customs", too, among the rest,and noted Šili is the one to sing it:with great success may you perform and bring it!
Sve najbolje ja Vam sada želim,"ZLATNOM VEZU" i ja se veselim.Uspješna Vam bila godinica:Vama želi to Benak Ivica!
All the very best I wish you here;and with "Zlatni vez" I share the cheer!May your year be full of success too:that is Benak Ivica's wish for you!
