These last two songs are very popular and emotional as they represent the struggle and hope that Kosovar Albanians went through as they fought for their land... and today Kosova is a sovereign state so good for them
These songs were in Gheg dialect and i think I'm getting better at translating in this dialect, pretty proud of myself
