Ako se kule u vazduhu broje,
bez daljnjeg – mi smo milioneri.
Kada bi nam neko izbrojao snove
bili bismo svetski rekorderi.
Pesničke duše, obožavamo rimu,
koristimo stih u širokom obimu.
Instrumenta dva majstorski sviramo,
u tanke žice još majstorskije diramo
dok zvucima u duše unosimo mir,
a napaćenim srcima pružamo eliksir.
Pošteno, kad se sve uzme u obzir,
jedinstveni duo mi smo – ŠEJK i SPIR!

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!
For you tonight, we’ll bow and strike a string,
Slavic spirit we’ll set our free to swing
We’ll make these wonderful instruments sing.
Welcome to you all, welcome to our lovely country!
We are here to present you, if you agree,
the classic Serbian music, its unique beauty,
its nobleness and charm, its expression and poetry.
During our concert, the whole time
we wouldn’t refrain from using the rhyme.
You will have a special chance to hear
the unique performance of duo SHAKE & SPEAR!
