agree  bonafide1313: how very nice :) ... though my first thought was that we perhaps have "ocean" (croatian) or okean (serbian) LJUBAVI here ... the ocean of love... ocean gubavi (leprous) sounds really strange for a greeting card :)

agree  bonafide1313: I agree that this definitely sounds more poetic, but it appears that the original "PLANINU PARA OKEAN GUBAVI i NEBO SLOBODE" has to be translated into english :))) ... challenging, isn't it?
