The Little Mermaid / Mala Sirena. Tranzlaty English Hrvatski - Hans Christian Andersen;Susannah Mary Paull; Tranzlaty

When it grew dark, a number of colored lamps were lighted

Kad se smračilo, upalilo se nekoliko šarenih lampi

the sailors and royal family danced merrily on the deck

Mornari i kraljevska obitelj veselo su plesali na palubi

The little mermaid could not help thinking of her birthday

Mala sirena nije mogla a da ne pomisli na svoj rođendan

the day that she rose out of the sea for the first time

dan kada je prvi put izašla iz mora

similar joyful festivities were celebrated on that day

slične radosne svečanosti slavile su se toga dana

she thought about the wonder and hope she felt that day

Razmišljala je o čudu i nadi koju je osjećala tog dana

with those pleasant memories, she too joined in the dance

S tim ugodnim uspomenama, i ona se pridružila plesu

on her paining feet, she poised herself in the air

Na bolnim nogama, stabilizirala se u zraku

the way a swallow poises itself when in pursuit of prey

način na koji se lastavica drži u ravnoteži kada je progoni plijen

the sailors and the servants cheered her wonderingly

Mornari i sluge su je začuđeno pozdravljali

She had never danced so gracefully before

Nikad prije nije plesala tako graciozno
