PADDLERS'
TAPS |
When
all went to sleep
on both river-banks
only
the rapid stream of Drava
does not sleep at all.
Its
eddies toy
with the boat-stem
while
the little star is silvering
the furrow behind the punt.
When
one and all fell asleep ... |

The
Solemn Song of the''Acorn'' Old Scouts Club
of Osijek |
Lyrics:
Vjekoslav Sulic
Music: Slavko Ljubo
In
every small acorn
gigantic power is hidden:
the Slavonian centenary giant
is sleeping in its heart.
Refrain:
Lightning's flashing, thunder's rolling,
still we pursue our end!
The
oak-trees defy the storms,
''The Acorn'' makes their name famous
and the ''Slavonian Oak'' Scout Troop
praises their majestic tallness. |

La
chanson solennelle du Club des vieux scouts
de Osijek |
Dans
chaque petit gland
une force immense est cachée:
le géant centenaire de Slavonie
someille dans son coeur.
Refrain:
L'éclair de la foudre, le tonnerre gronde,
malgré tout nous poursuivons notre but!
La
chenaie défie l'orage,
''Le gland'' rend célebre son nom
et la troupe de scouts ''Le chene de Slavonie''
fait l'éloge de sa taille majestueuse.

BEAD
OF DEW |
Homage
to the glorious links
in the unbreakable chain of scouting
Solo:
When under the mountain spur
you have cleaned the spring from leaves
- while awaiting the water to settle and
become potable and clear –
Chorus:
Sing a song about a bead
of morning dew on the grass-blade,
let the winds carry it away,
let the echo brings it back.
Solo:
When your thirst is slaked
by the last drop on your lip
and the water remains limpid,
potable for the thirsty and clear
Chorus:
Remember that we also
used to clean this very spring
singing with all our might
about a bead of dew on the – petal. |

REVEILLE |
(vivace)
(jokingly)
Good morning scouts! Good-day, great eaters!
A new day is calling you! Another helping is
in sight!
Who'll
be the first 'n' who the last Who'll be the
last to get up
to crawl out from the tent? 'n' the first for
the seconds? |

PADDLER'S
REVEILLE |
(vivace)
(jokingly)
On the water, paddlers! All aboard, paddlers!
There again like one hand We will lift our bare-footed
legs
we
will raise our oars apeak up in the air there
to salute the world! 'n' let the current drifts
us away! |

FIRES
OF BODOLYE |
When
the fire is put out tonight
let it warm our dreams on end
and keep alive the memories of you,
our small village of Podolje.
Even
when our campfires are not flaming
let our memories of you be not extinguished,
let the song about you, dear Podolje,
is heard throughout our groves and fields. |
SCARF
OF PROMISE*
Promissa solvito
|
| As
long as the red-golden
scout scarf adorns us
you, boyscout, will never be alone
and you, guide, won't be alone, either!
Refrain:
The golden fields of wheat
and the red poppies
are with us and within us!
Through
the woggle of faith
the stripes are flaming,
our token of promise
is beating near our hearts -
- a lasting memory and the eternal flame!
Refrain
/ 2 x
* The solemn song of our Scout Company
