Текст и перевод песни Ivica Šerfezi - Zebra Koja Broji Rebra

Zebra Koja Broji Rebra

Sklopi oči i što vide
Vide ribu koja ide
Zmiju koja noge skriva
Vide pticu koja pliva
Vide zeca, krila ima
Bijelog medu trese zima
Vide slona, vide žapca
U svom gnijezdu hrani vrapca
Knjigu čita kišna glista
I još vide čuda trista

Sklopi oči i što dalje
Mačka mišu pozdrav šalje
Vidim lava kako spava
Vidim ovca lovi lovca
Vidim op'ca tjera jopca
Vidim crva nosi drva
Vidim žabu kopa grabu
Vidim pticu na svom licu
Vidim zvijezdu kako blista
I još vidim čuda trista

Vidim zebra broji rebra
Vidim noja, vidim zmaja
Pjesma moja nema kraja
Prije nego dalje krene
Loviš ti i spas za mene

Zebra That Counts Ribs

Close your eyes, and what do you see?
You see a fish that walks free,
A snake that hides its legs with glee,
You see a bird that swims in the sea,
You see a hare with wings, it's true,
A polar bear, shivering blue,
You see an elephant, a frog so green,
Feeding a sparrow, a cozy scene,
An earthworm reading, wise and keen,
And three hundred wonders more are seen.

Close your eyes, and what else do you find?
A cat sending greetings to a mouse so kind,
I see a lion taking a nap,
I see a sheep hunting a chap,
I see a ram chasing a yap,
I see a worm carrying sap,
I see a frog digging a trap,
I see a bird upon my lap,
I see a star with a brilliant snap,
And three hundred wonders more, mayhap.

I see a zebra counting its ribs,
I see an ostrich, I see a dragon's nibs,
My song has no end, it gives and gives,
Before it goes any further, my dear,
You seek and find solace here.
