Hei
I really want to learn how to write and speak albanian, but I think it's so hard. And I don't know how I can learn this language.. But then I came over this site and I though it might help me. I ain't that good in english eather, so excuse me.

Are you guys transelating hip hop/rap songs too? I haven't seen through all of the pages, but I don't think you have transelated the song I want to know the text of ..

Its " Unikkatil fr Ex king - Tata Mata " .. I haven't found the text in Shqip, but maybe you can find it or listen to the song ? I really hope you'll help me with this If you don't find the text or something, maybe somebody can tell me what the name of the song means (tata mata) ..

jeta sot kerkon duhet me shume
dita qe jeton duhet me shume
flas me veten sot duhet me shume
dashurine kerkoj duhet me shume
rezet kam me vete duhet me shume
neser jame e lire duhet me shume
frika larg prej meje duhet me shume
erdhi koha ime duhet me shume

do qe jeten t'ma ndryshojn
nje rruge me njerez sot kaloj
dhe me veten do jetoj
me veten do jetoj
flet e para sot me ty
per tu rimbushur me ata sy
nate e erret me rethon
dhe yjet mi largon

jeta sot kerkon
dita qe jeton
flas me veten sot
dashurine kerkoj
rezet kam me vete duhet me shume
neser jame e lire duhet me shume
frika larg prej meje duhet me shume

im new to these forums as well but the albanian/kosovar language is very easy. i think sence im from kosovo that its easier to learn how we speak becuase its bit easier. The albanian and kosovar language is like the British and American Language. We speak the dirty albanian like americans speak the dirty english. i personaly think the most important thing about the albanian/kosovar lanuage is that every word is pronounced the way it looks. There are no hidden letters or what not .the way it looks is the way it sounds.

Shpat Kasapi - Vetes Nuk Ja Fali

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FCxc...eature=related

Harrom që më ke takuar
forget that you have met me
ndonjëherë në jetë
at some point in your life
harrom e mos më thirr
for get me and don't call me
të lutem më ler të qetë
please just leave me calm

Ishte kot që tentuam
it was useless that we tried
sa filluam e mbaruam
as soon as we began we ended
këngen
the song
vetem lotë më
dhurove ti
you only gave me tears

Në udhekryq jam i ulur
i'm sitting at a crossroads
shumë shenja shoh nga
i see many signs
të shkoj nuk e di fatin ku
which way shall i go, i don't know where
ta kërkoj unë ndihem shumë
to find my fate, i feel really
i mashtruar,i lodhur,i vetmuar
betrayed, tired, alone
cili është mëkati im se di!
i don't know what my sin is


Vetes nuk ja fali që isha me ty
it hadn't accepted itself, that i was with you
sa shumë netë pa gjumë, nesër do të jetë
many sleepless nights, tomorrow will be
ma mirë
better

Valentina Rama and Valon - Mos Me Le

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6-qpnsCdZk

Valentina:
Pse po me fyen,
why do you frustrate me
qdo her e me shum
more each time
po shkon te tjetra,
you go to another
e nuk vjen tek un
and you don't come to me

Pse po me thua se nuk ke faj,
why do you say that you are not at fault
kur sdo ta falin syt e mi plot vaj
my eyes full of tears will never forgive you

Valon:
S'eshte e vertet kjo
this isn't true
sjam i pabes
i am not treacherous
ne zemren time
in my heart
vetem ti bën pjese
only you take part

Mos me thuaj se eshte nata e fundit qe me ty sonte po flas,
don't tell me this is the last night i am talking with you
mos me thuaj se me emrin tend une asnjeher sdo ta therras
don't tell me that i won't call your name anymore
mos me thuaj se te humba
don't tell me i have lost you
se te njoh eh mir me njeh
'cause i know you well and you know me
Moss me leeee,mos me leee
(so) don't leave me

[cortom]

The first one is actually a very silly song, but I like it none the less. I noticed the lyrics (from teksteshqip.com) have some errors in them. The same word is spelled differently in different places (eg. karikja/garigja) wich makes it difficult to use a dictionary. The lines with 'shoqja jote e bukur' seem to be in error too. And at the beginning of the refrain there are a few words missing between 'jo jo' and 'me mu dredhina ska'. If someone would be so kind to listen very carefully to the song? Here's a YouTube link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzQhxHvx7kc

Adelina Ismajli - Qind për qind zeshkanë

edhe mbreme si gjithmon
me tjetren te pash
shpejt nga karikja u qova
ne sy shpull ta dhash
edhe mbreme si gjithmon
me tjetren te pash
shpejt nga karigja u qova
nder sy shpull ta dhash

Refr.: jojo me mu dredhina ska
jam qind per qind zeshkane
pa frym mund te la jojo me mu dredhina ska
jam qind per qind zeshkane
pa frym mund te la mund te laaaa

jo smu dhimse aspak
shoqeria kur t shikoj
edhe shoqja jote e bukur syt kur i zdrurdolloj
jo smu dhimse aspak
kur shoqnia t shikoj edhe shoqja jote e bukur syt kur i zdrurdulloj

Refr.: jojo me mu dredhina ska
jam qind per qind zeshkane
pa frym mund te la
jojo me mu dredhina ska
jam qind per qind zeshkane
pa frym mund te la mund te laaaaa

auuuuuuuuuuuuuuu e jeeeeeeeee hi huoooooooooooo

e ateher te diskoteka
te kerri yt shpejtova
me shokt e mi pa kerra gjamat ti coptova
e ateher te diskoteka
te kerri yt shpejtova
me shokt e mi pa kerra gjamat ti coptove

Refr.: jojo me mu dredhina ska
jam qind per qind zeshkane
pa frym mund tee
jojo me mu dredhina ska
jam qind per qind zeshkane
pa frymm mund te la mun te laaaaa


The second one is much better as a song, the lyrics seem to be correct, but much too difficult for me:

Adelina Ismajli - Amaneti

Seletullah selemullah x2
alejke aresul allah
alejke a havel allah
ilmini nallut ante mali x2

ma ka lan ma ka lan nana tybe amanete x2
tujme këndu kët fejen sonte tybe me vullnet x2

ma ka lan ma ka lan nana tybe amanete x2
me ju këndu llapjonve sonte e me kallën krejte x2

më ka thën vellau kur ka dal në gurbet x2
me ma rudh për verizaj e me bë shehrete x2

më ka thën vellau kur ka dal në gurbet x2
mos me harru as kilanin se e kam haserete x2

nanë moj nanë prizëreni rush i zi
nanë moj nanë gjakova si flori
nanë moj nanë tetovat janë pareli
o moj nanë kjo kumanova qikat si peri

nanë moj nanë drenica kuq e zi
nanë moj nanë mitrovica bukuri
nanë moj nanë prishtin si në *amerik*
o moj nanë prishtina lija sonte kah me ik

Thank you

[Balkaneuro]

To RushiiTushii I don't know if anyone translated this for you, I just noticed it here it is:

jeta sot kerkon duhet me shume
today life is wanted, it is needed more
dita qe jeton duhet me shume
the day you live, is needed more
flas me veten sot duhet me shume
speaking to yourself, is needed more
dashurine kerkoj duhet me shume
i search for love, i need it more (than i had)
rezet kam me vete duhet me shume
i have the rays with me, they are needed more
neser jame e lire duhet me shume
i need to be free tomorrow (from work etc.)
frika larg prej meje duhet me shume
fear needs to be far from me, this is needed
erdhi koha ime duhet me shume
my time has come, i need it now (more than i had)

do qe jeten t'ma ndryshojn
they want to change my life
nje rruge me njerez sot kaloj
today i pass a road with people
dhe me veten do jetoj
yet i will live my life with myself
me veten do jetoj
i will live with myself
flet e para sot me ty
the first one speaks with you today
per tu rimbushur me ata sy
to fill those eyes (of yours) again
nate e erret me rethon
the dark night surrounds me
dhe yjet mi largon
and takes the stars away from me

[Balkaneuro]

these lyrics had some errors too. Usually these errors are not done purposely it's just due to the person's accent whoever wrote them so they pronounce things differently and write them accordingly depending on where they are from in either albania, kosova or macedonia, montenegro other places etc. they have different accents, so they write things differently.

for example: gurbet or kurbet (immigration) same word just different accent

Adelina Ismajli - Amaneti (The Will)

Seletullah selemullah x2
alejke aresul allah
alejke a habib allah
ilmini nallut ante mali x2

*This part is in Arabic, it's verses from the Kuran (Holy book of Islam)

ma ka lan ma ka lan nana tybe amanete x2
my mother has left me full of wills
tujme këndu kët fejen sonte tybe me vullnet x2
with singing this belief tonight all by willingness

ma ka lan ma ka lan nana tybe amanete x2
my mother has left me full with wills
me ju këndu llapjonve sonte e me kallën krejte x2
with singing to llapjon people tonight, and (lit. buring up the place) celebrating

më ka thën vellau kur ka dal në gurbet x2
my brother had told me, when he had immigrated
me ma rudh për verizaj e me bë shehrete x2
look after Ferizaj (city in Kosova), and make me light some (so i won't have a heavy heart worrying about it)


më ka thën vellau kur ka dal në gurbet x2
my brother had told me when he had left to foreign lands
mos me harru as kilanin se e kam haserete x2
i can't forget Gilan (city in Kosova) because it is a longing of mine

nanë moj nanë prizëreni rush i zi*
mother, oh mother, Prizren (city in Kosova) the red grapes
nanë moj nanë gjakova si flori*
mother oh mother, Gjakova (city in Kosova) like gold
nanë moj nanë tetovat janë pareli*
mother oh mother, people from Tetova (city in Macedonia) are wealthy
o moj nanë kjo kumanova qikat si peri*
mother oh mother, in this Kumanova ( city in Macedonia) the girls are like Paris

nanë moj nanë drenica kuq e zi*
mother oh mother, Drenica (city in Kosova) red and black (like the Albanian flag)
nanë moj nanë mitrovica bukuri*
mother, oh mother, Mitrovica (city in Kosova) is a beauty
nanë moj nanë prishtin si në *amerik*
mother oh mother, Prishtina (city in Kosova) is comparable to the United States
o moj nanë prishtina lija sonte kah me ik
mother oh mother, the girl from Prishtina will leave tonight

* these are all just common Albanian compliments but some of them are weird (like rush i zi - as red grapes) so i thought I'd explain a them lol

this was kinda hard to translate I hope you understood it! Feel free to ask any questions

[Balkaneuro]

Adelina Ismajli - Qind për qind zeshkanë (100% brunette)

edhe mbreme si gjithmon
also yesterday as always
me tjetren te pash
i saw you with another
shpejt nga karikja u qova
i got up quickly from my seat
ne sy shpull ta dhash
i gave a slap among your eyes

jojo, (o pa pa*, ) me mu dredhina ska
no no, oh no, there are no twists and turns with me
jam qind per qind zeshkane
i am 100% brunette
pa frym mund te la jojo me mu dredhina ska
i can't accept it without a breath, no no, there are no games with me

jo smu dhimse aspak
i didn't hurt for you at all
shoqeria kur te shikoj
or your friends when i see you
edhe as bukuroshja jote syt kur i rrutulloji**
and neither your pretty girlfriend, when she rolls her eyes
jo smu dhimse aspak
no i didn't hurt for you at all

*pa pa is just another form of "o po po" it's like oh my, or oh no

** - i couldn't really hear this last word, but it sounds like its zdrudhdulloj or rrutulloj or something which either means rolls eyes, wrinkles eyes or dodges :S haha sorry!

e ateher te diskoteka
and that time at the club
te kerri yt shpejtova
i ran to your car
me shokt e mi pa kerra gjamat ti coptova
me and my friends without a ride, smashed your windows

back in the day she sounded just like her little sister Zanfina now haha

[cortom]

@Balkaneuro: thank you once again. It's exactly what I wanted: I like more or less literal translations when they are supplemented with some short explanations. I have the feeling that I learn something about the "logic" behind the language. One question is raised however: what are "llapjon" people? And how do you interpret the line "with singing this belief tonight all by willingness"?

The first song (it is a bit childish, but nice), I understand much better now. I knew most of the words, but that is clearly not enough. E.g. I didn't realise that the story was told in past tense. So I interpreted it as some kind of threat to the boy: "If I were to see you with someone else, in the evening to come, then I would slap you in the face..." etc. Which is all wrong of course. It makes much more sense now.

The second song I didn't understand at all. Now that I know it is about immigration, and longing, I like it even more than I did before. It seems much more serious than the video would make yoy believe.

[Balkaneuro]

Translation requested:

Aferdita Elshani - Mallkoj Diten ( I curse the/that day)

Mos e mer ket rrug te gjat pa mbarim
don't choose this long never ending road
edi, se nje dit shpirti im do te kthehet siq u kthy n`fillim
i know, that one day, my sweetheart, will come back as he had in the beginning

i know, that one day, my soul (lit.), will come back as it had in the beginning

Mos e mer ket rrug te gjat saher te thash
how many times had i said to you, "don't take this long road" (means leaving the country to immigrate)
edi, se kjo zemer qe ta dhash
i know, that this heart i gave to you
do te ndalet, kur sdo`t jemi bashk
will stop, when we are no longer together

2x:
Mallkoj diten qe do te vi
i curse the day that will come
diten kur do`t jem shum larg nga ti
the day that i will be very far from you

Heret a po von kurbeti t`vret ngadal
sooner or later, the foreign land (home away from home) will kill you slowly

how awful, that i have no one to say a word to
ti tregoj se po digjem e gjall
to tell them that i am burning alive
sa keq, qe skam kujt t`ja them ni fjal
how sad, that i have no one to talk to (grieve to)
ti tregoj se po digjem e gjall
to tell them i am burning alive
Heret a po von do ta kuptosh nje dit
one day, sooner or later, you will understand
sa kam vujtur qe t`kam prit
that i have suffered while waiting for you
sa jam tretur e sa jam merzit
that i have melted and how much i had been bored/sad

And how do you interpret the line "with singing this belief tonight all by willingness"?

The first song (it is a bit childish, but nice), I understand much better now. I knew most of the words, but that is clearly not enough. E.g. I didn't realise that the story was told in past tense. So I interpreted it as some kind of threat to the boy: "If I were to see you with someone else, in the evening to come, then I would slap you in the face..." etc. Which is all wrong of course. It makes much more sense now.

The second song I didn't understand at all. Now that I know it is about immigration, and longing, I like it even more than I did before. It seems much more serious than the video would make yoy believe.

I'm not very sure what Llapjon is I figured it was some sort of small city, becuase of other songs i've seen with that word used, I figured it was referring to a group of people or maybe a characteristic but that's all i could come up with, i couldn't find it in a dictionary either :S

the line "tuj kendu kete fejen sonte tybe me vullnete" (lit. to sing this religion tonight from my own will)
vullnet means willing
i think this means she is personally singing the verses out of her own willingness

hope that helped a bit

One of the better BQ songs. And of course I would like to know what it is about.

Bleona Qereti - Obobo ç'i bërë vetës

Unë e di si të pa,e dëgjova çfarë të tha
Dhe ta bëri me sy,unë e di e kish me ty
Kujt ja shet ti ato unë e di kush është ajo e di

Nuk i ha unë këto, mos më thuaj mua jo
Ku e gjete atë surrat, që se fut njeri në shtrat
Mbylle gojën mos e zgjat se tani u kape mat je mat

Unë e di si të pa, e dëgjova çfarë të tha
Dhe ta bëri me sy, unë e di e kish me ty
Kujt ja shet ti ato unë e di kush është ajo e di

çdo mesazh që ke marë, e kam parë në celular
Mora vesh se kush je ti
Ku do futesh mor i zi ku do ikësh mor i shkretë
do të var me kembë përpjetë tani

(2x) Ha ha,
Ti kujtove se ma hodhe budella, ha ha
Ti e di se dardha bishtin prapa ka, ha ha
Ik tani dhe mos më qaj si kalama, ha ha

sa her me shikon moj drenush
everytime you look at me oh drenush
bukuria jote me vret si pushk
your beauty kills me as if with a gun
e degjon ket qifteli
i hear this cifteli (Albanian instrument like the mandolin)
e kam nis nje keng per ty
and i have started to sing a song for you (along with it)
e jam vesh me hijeshi
i am dressed well
ndoshta ta kthej mendjen ty
maybe i can change your mind

e hajde dalim mo
come let's go out
moj shqipe e malit o
eagle of the mountain
e hajde dalim mo
come on let's go
tja thoj se beashku oo
let's say itall together

ref:
se un te dua sa (teuten)
'cause i love you as much as that Albanian princess
ty te dua sa lahuten
i love you as much as the flute
sa drenicen sa rugoven
as much as Drenica, as much as Rugova
podujeven krejt kosoven
if you want even count all of Kosova
sa prishtinen e gjakoven
as much as Prishtina, and Gjakova (cities)
ferizaj e krejt kosoven
Ferizaj and all of Kosova

besa bes moj besen ta kom dhon
give our word i have given you my oath
per folem qe kom moj jeten dojm me dhan
i speak of what i have, i want to give you my life
rruges tate ti kur shkoje
when you walk along the road
vetlla jote krah shqiponje
your eyebrow like the wing of the eagle

hasmit tand mortaja i ra
syni keq kurr mos me t`pa
let me never see your sad

Good song & good translations but doesnt "podujeven krejt kosoven" mean Podujeve and all of Kosove not if you want even count all of Kosova, cuz Podujeva is a place in kosove just like the other places mentioned like Drenica, Roguva, Podujeva, Prishtina, Gjakova and Ferizaj.

[Balkaneuro]

Lol is it really? I didn't know that myself, I haven't heard of that place... I just figured it was "po duje veje krejt kosoven" but that it was just typed out togeher by whoever posted the lyrics in gheg lol. I didn't even think of that but thanks for telling me! : D

[RrushiiTushii]

oh no problem i know more about that stuff cuz im from Kosove and i speak/read the language just occasionally need help with some translations

and for the Drenushe song i saw there wasnt a translation for
"hasmit tand mortaja i ra" im not exactly sure what mortaja means but it sounds like it could be a disease or like death so im guessin in a non literal way that line means "death/disease came upon your enemies" (because of their jealousy)

oh & "syni keq kurr mos me t`pa" that goes back to the whole thing of the evil eye, and if someone looks at you with envy or jealousy with bad eyes then its like their cursing you from jealousy.

[Balkaneuro]

aa okay, haha it all makes sense now! yeah i never try and tackle songs in gheg, i love them but i can never translate them well : P esp. the rap ones!
