Zagorskih Zapovedi'
1. Tuzi bliznjeg suseda
da on ne bi tebe.
Sue thy
nearest neighbor,
lest he sue you.

ti moras ubit dve da bi bil bolji od njega.
If thy
neighbor's
cow dies, kill two of yours that you may outdo him.

pajdasu svomu, nek mu se smije cela birtija.
Whoever cheats
his
pal, may the whole tavern cheer him.
4. Klet ti je jedina crkva
gde se spominjes imena boga svoga uzalud.
A curse is the
only
church where saying your Lord's name falls on deaf ears.
5. Treniraj s'aki dan
sto vise da bi se uspel vise put na dan napit i: otreznit.
Practice more
often
every day that you may all the more frequently drink and sober up.

u celom Zagorju.
YOUR wine is
the best
in all of Zagorje.
7. Ljubi trseka svoga
i kumu Baru ispod njega vise neg samog sebe.
Love thy
vineyard
and thy barrel more than thyself.
8. S'aki Zagorec mora
bit dobar pajdas, muzikas i trinkas.
Every Zagorac
must
be a good buddy, a good singer, and a good drinker.
9. Seti se covek da je
Zagorec najpametnejsi na svetu i nema pametnijeg: od njega.
Remember that
the
Zagorec is the smartest in the world and that none are smarter than he
is.

da si Zagorec, jer buju sve odmah znali o tebi.
Never admit to
being
a Zagorec, for they will immediately know all about you.
