Priča
(tekst: Đura Jakšić)
Jedanput ide stari Amidža,
K’o sedi neki mandarin;
A za njim tapka, trči, skakuće
Junačke krvi najmlađi sin.
Vašar je bio - a na vašaru
Sablje, pištolji, arapski at;
Tuniske kape, srebro i zlato,
Mletačka svila, ženevski sat.
- „E, šta ćeš, sine, da kupi babo?“
„Hoćeš li sablju, tu britku, sjajnu,
Il’ voliš ata misirskog?
„Il’ možda želiš od svile ruho?
Neka ti bude svileno sve!
Govori sine, govori brže,
Da kupim one toke zlaćene.“
Dete se češka rukom po glavi,
Kao da ne zna šta bi od sveg
- „Ah, babo, - babo, - kupi mi, - babo…
Pečenja kupi jarećeg!“
Sad se i babo češka po glavi,
Gledajuć’ dugo sinčića svog
- „E ja sam vol’o sablje i koplja
A sin mi jarca pečenog!“
STORY
(text: Dj. Jakšić; translation: M. Denić)
Once upon a time goes an old Amidža
like a gray-old mandarin;
Behind him skipping, running, hopping
goes his hero-hearted youngest son.
It was a fair day - an at the fair
Sabers, guns, an Arabian horse;
Tunisian hats, silver and gold,
Venitian silk, a clock from Geneva.
“What should your father buy you, my son?“
“Do you want a saber, sharp and bright,
Or you prefer an Egyptian horse?
Or, maybe, you want a robe of silk?
May you be covered in silk!
Speak up, son, hurry up,
Should I buy those studs of gold?“
The child scratches his head,
struggling with his pick:
“Oh, daddy, daddy buy me, daddy,
buy me some lamb roast...“
Now also the father scratches his head,
staring at his little son:
Well, I loved sabers and spears,
while my son prefers a roasted goat!
