Lyrics - Albanian to English (part 3)

[cortom]

Thank-you button doesn't work today, so: thank you, BE. I lllllooove these Poni-songs so much that sometimes I'm just afraid to ask for a translation because I fear it could destroy that magic feeling. But I haven't been disappointed yet. These lyrics are wonderful. And you do such a fine job in explaining these turns of phrase like 'të keqen'.

Mos e le kurre kerkon met thon qe smundesh me bo diqka shoki duhesh me pas vullnetin forca

[Balkaneuro]

it sounds like a run on sentence but..

"don't ever let it/him/her, this means to say that you cannot do anything friend, your will has to be your force/strength."

Ilir Shaqiri - Nusja e maleve

Na u ka nxi qielli e shtrrydhen retë
Nuse moj e bukur trëndafilë me flet
Ty nishani n'balle sa t'paska hije
Nuse moj e bukur me flamur mbi krye
Moter moj me e mira nuse
lule moj, ma e bukura lule
shtati yt qendise me plumba
bukur e bukur ka dal nusja
Moter moj me e mira nuse
lule moj lulema e bukura lule
shtati yt qendise me plumba
bukur, e bukur nusja

Gjithe pranverat sot tek ti kane ardhë
Cel mori moter trimeri e ralle
Na i njomi buzte kjo pika e lotit
Nuse moj stolisur ne flake te barotit
Moter moj me e mira nuse
lule moj, ma e bukura lule
shtati yt qendise me plumba
bukur e bukur ka dal nusja
Moter moj me e mira nuse
lule moj lulema e bukura lule
shtati yt qendise me plumba
bukur, e bukur nusja

Kane ardhe shoqet per me te pa,
kane ardhe shoqet per me te pa
Nuse tone kerkush se ka

[Korcare19]

Ilir Shaqiri - Nusja e maleve
Ilir Shaqiri - Bride of the Mountains

Na u ka nxi qielli e shtrrydhen retë
Our sky is black, the clouds squeezed it
Nuse moj e bukur trëndafilë me flet
Pretty bride,(like a) rose with petals
Ty nishani n'balle sa t'paska hije
how well the beauty mark on your forehead suits you
Nuse moj e bukur me flamur mbi krye
Pretty bride with the flag ahead
Moter moj me e mira nuse
Sister, you, the best bride
lule moj, ma e bukura lule
oh flower, the prettiest flower
shtati yt qendise me plumba
your body embroided with bullets
bukur e bukur ka dal nusja
pretty pretty the bride has come out


Gjithe pranverat sot tek ti kane ardhë
All the springs have come to you today (spring as in the season)
Cel mori moter trimeri e ralle
bloom o sister rare breavery
Na i njomi buzte kjo pika e lotit
this tear drop moistens our lips
Nuse moj stolisur ne flake te barotit
Oh bride made pretty in the flame of gunpowder


Kane ardhe shoqet per me te pa,
Your friends are here to see you
kane ardhe shoqet per me te pa
Your friends are here to see you
Nuse tone kerkush se ka
Nobody has a bride like ours

[haydee]

Can you translate this poem? Also there is a song based on this lyrics, sung by Ema Bytyqi, that slightly differs from this.

Syt' e lumtur

Ishe vogeloshe...isha mituri...
Kur më dole mbudhe, ti moj lumja ti!
Vinte perëndimi me të vagëlluar
Pa m'i shtire tinës ata syt' e shkruar.
Ata syt' e shkruar, sytë moj të fjetur,
Shtatë vjet me-radhë t'i kam përshëndetur.
Kur më pe së pari, more-e m'u largove,
Kur më pe së dyti, more-e m'u afrove,
Kur më pe së treti, more-e më pushtove,
Të putha në gushë, ti m'u turpërove,
Papo ule kryet e shkove vajtove.

[tedinkyyy]

I think that syt is eye

[haydee]

Ahaha, tedinkyyy XD Will you translate it all?

imho, syte - eyes, in plural

[Balkaneuro]

sorry i took so long

Syt' e lumtur/ happy eyes

Ishe vogeloshe...isha mituri.../ you were a little one (girl), i was a minor
Kur më dole mbudhe, ti moj lumja ti!/ when you came out (mbudhe?), yes you my happy one
Vinte perëndimi me të vagëlluar/ the sunset would come with (vagelluar?)
Pa m'i shtire tinës ata syt' e shkruar. / when you shone those eyes of yours at me
Ata syt' e shkruar, sytë moj të fjetur, / those drawn (means: perfect) eyes, those sleepful (means: pleasant) eyes
Shtatë vjet me-radhë t'i kam përshëndetur./ i have greeted them seven years in a row
Kur më pe së pari, more-e m'u largove,/ the first time you saw me, you went away
Kur më pe së dyti, more-e m'u afrove,/ the second time u saw me, you came closer
Kur më pe së treti, more-e më pushtove,/ the third time you saw me, you invaded/conquered me
Të putha në gushë, ti m'u turpërove,/ i kissed you on your neck, you became shy
Pa po ule kryet e shkove vajtove./ you lowered your head and you left, mourned

not sure about the meaning of this poem, maybe the person is reflecting on the memory they have of their first love

[haydee]

Another request!

Leonora Jakupi - Ngushellimi

Nëse Me Ty Kam Gabuar,mos U Lavdëro
Nëse Vehten E Harrova,mos Më Ngushëllo

Ma Thuaj Veq Një Fjalë
Oh Të Lutem,mos Më Ngushëllo
Hedhe Poshtë Pikëllimin Djalë
Më Thuaj Se Më Do

Nëse ëmbël Të Kam Qeshur,mos U Lavdëro
Nëse Unë Pa Ty Kam Mbetur,mos Më Ngushëllo

[cortom]

So short! I want to try my hand on it. Don't laugh if I have it all wrong!

Leonora Jakupi - Ngushellimi
... Consolation

Nëse Me Ty Kam Gabuar,mos U Lavdëro
... If I was mistaken with you, don't enjoy it
Nëse Vehten E Harrova,mos Më Ngushëllo
... If I am forgotten myself, don't comfort me

Ma Thuaj Veq Një Fjalë
... Tell me only one word
Oh Të Lutem,mos Më Ngushëllo
... Oh I beg you, don't comfort me
Hedhe Poshtë Pikëllimin Djalë
... Throw down the sadness, boy
Më Thuaj Se Më Do
... Tell me that you love me

Nëse ëmbël Të Kam Qeshur,mos U Lavdëro
... If I laughed nicely/sweetly at you, don't glorify in it
Nëse Unë Pa Ty Kam Mbetur,mos Më Ngushëllo
... If I'm left alone without you, don't try to console me

I'm almost sure I have the gist of it. No doubt BE will put my mistakes right.

[Balkaneuro]

Good job, Cortom, just a few very mistakes, your getting better though! i'm impressed : )

Leonora Jakupi - Ngushellimi
... Consolation

Nëse Me Ty Kam Gabuar,mos U Lavdëro // unless i have made a mistake when with you, don't praise yourself
... If I was mistaken with you, don't enjoy it

Rovena Stefa - Kthehem Prapë

I return again

Kohen lashë pas
(?)
Edhe te ti po kthej
(?)
Në këtë qytet mes ëndrrash të të gjej
To find you in this city between dreams
Çdo gjë e largët ngjan
Everything seems distant
Si në një oqean
Like in ocean
Eshtë si një ëndërr në gjumë
Like a dream in sleep

Nga thellësitë kujtimet zgjohen shpejt
From depth memories quickly arise
Edhe më kthejnë prapë në të parën jetë
And they return me again to first time (?)
Çdo vend që e shikoj nga një kujtim zbuloj
Every place that I see (?)
e ti më puth e ti më flet
And you kissed me and said to me

Kush në kët’ botë s’ka humbur dashuri
Who in this world haven’t lost love
nuk e di
I don’t know
sa i madh është ky mall
How big this longing is
I madh si deti me valë
Big like lumpy sea
Në këtë qytet e huaj jam tani
I’m a stranger in this city now
Njerëz shoh por ti askund nuk je
I see people but there’s no you anywhere
Pa histori mbetëm ne
We remain without history

Do të kthehem prapë edhe shumë larg do të shkoj
I’ll return again and will go very far
Orë edhe netë pa ty do të jetoj
Without you I’ll live hours and nights
Ti dashuri e parë je hi edhe je zjarr
You, first love, are ash and fire
Eshtë e vështirë të të harroj
It’s hard to forget you

[Korcare19]

Amazing job Haydee. Very minor corrections ..or not even corrections more like just the words you had (?)

Rovena Stefa - Kthehem Prapë

I return again

Kohen lashë pas
(?) I left time behind
Edhe te ti po kthej
(?) And to you im returning
Në këtë qytet mes ëndrrash të të gjej
To find you in this city between dreams
Çdo gjë e largët ngjan
Everything seems distant
Si në një oqean
Like in ocean
Eshtë si një ëndërr në gjumë
Like a dream in sleep

Nga thellësitë kujtimet zgjohen shpejt
From depth memories quickly arise
Edhe më kthejnë prapë në të parën jetë
And they return me again to first time life (previous life)(?)
Çdo vend që e shikoj nga një kujtim zbuloj
Every place that I see i discover a memory (?)
e ti më puth e ti më flet
And you kiss me and say to me

Kush në kët’ botë s’ka humbur dashuri
Who in this world haven’t lost love
nuk e di
I don’t know
sa i madh është ky mall
How big this longing is
I madh si deti me valë
Big like lumpy sea (As big as a weavy sea)
Në këtë qytet e huaj jam tani
I’m a stranger in this city now
Njerëz shoh por ti askund nuk je
I see people but there’s no you anywhere
Pa histori mbetëm ne
We remain without history

Do të kthehem prapë edhe shumë larg do të shkoj
I’ll return again and will go very far
Orë edhe netë pa ty do të jetoj
Without you I’ll live hours and nights
Ti dashuri e parë je hi edhe je zjarr
You, first love, are ash and fire
Eshtë e vështirë të të harroj
It’s hard to forget you

Ah Lyuba I'm really impressed how do you understand so much Albanian
Well I'm still very bad at understanding so...

Elvana Gjata - Ani ani

Do mundohem edhe njehere
Vetem per nje moment
Te jem prane teje
Prane teje te jem
Nje milion puthje do t'i jap
Dhe pa fryme po te jem
Je ndjesia me e madhe ne jete.
Jo, nuk do te zhdukem
Ti je gjithmone nata ime e pare
Ti je
Je ti
Shpirt je vetem ti

Ani ani locka jeme ti
Une e di
I know it? Lol
Do jesh me mua
Ani, me mjafton vetem nje nate
Ty te te kem prane
"JO" mos me thuaj
mmm and that means "don't say to me "no"

Do te mundohem per nje moment
Prane teje te jem...
Ani locka jeme, ani!

[ThreeMinuteWarning]

Can you please translate this song too:

Vesa Luma - Edhe Per Mu Do Te Ket Nje Zemer

Tri ditë kam në dhomën time t'zbraztë
E dy ditë prej se ke shku
Veq një ditë kam mbet pa qajtë
E të nesërmen t'kam kërku
Një javë bëhet pa dashuri t'rrejshme
Një ditë shfaqesh e prapë s'je k'tu
Një orë mall është dhimbje skajshme
Sa një mijë vjet ty me t'besu shtat dit t'javës flasin mirë për ty
E gjashtë të tjera veq për tradhëti
Pesë netë të gjata sa pesëqind
E katër tjera sa një mijë
Dhjetë orë rruge i kam ba me t'pa
Nëntë të tjera me t'përqafu
Ku ta dija unë e shkreta
Që ty s'kam me tu kujtuu

Ref: Ditën natën thërras me emer
Malli m'vret veq kur mendoj
Dhe për mu do t'kete një zemër
Që do të dijë të mos m'lëndojë


(I think) I was able to translate a few lines. Let's see if any of them are correct.
I have three days to vacate my room
I have only one day to stay
One week is done without fake love
An hour longing is extreme pain
Day and night I call by name
The longing hurt when I think/remember


I would like to have the translations of many other songs too, because the songs are so much more enjoyable when you understand the lyrics, but I will try not to post too many requests.

[Balkaneuro]

Elvana Gjata - Ani ani/ let it be

Do mundohem edhe njehere // i will try again
Vetem per nje moment // for just a moment
Te jem prane teje // to be by your side
Prane teje te jem // to be by your side
Nje milion puthje do t'i jap // i will give you a million kisses
Dhe pa fryme po te jem // and i will be without breath
Je ndjesia me e madhe ne jete. // you are the biggest feeling in my life
Jo, nuk do te zhdukem //no, i won't be eliminated
Ti je gjithmone nata ime e pare // you are always, my first night
Ti je // you are
Je ti // you are
Shpirt je vetem ti // my dear, it is only you

Ani ani locka jeme ti // forget it/ come on, just be my sweetheart
Une e di // i know
Do jesh me mua // you will be with me
Ani, me mjafton vetem nje nate // come on, a night is enough for me
Ty te te kem prane // to have you by my side
"JO" mos me thuaj // don't tell me 'no'

*usually ani ani means like whatever, so what, but here it is saying like "forget it, forget the other things and come on"

[Balkaneuro]

Hey, welcome i'm Balkaneuro, one of the Albanian translators here : )

Vesa Luma - Edhe Per Mu Do Te Ket Nje Zemer // There will be a heart/sweetheart for me too

Tri ditë kam në dhomën time t'zbraztë // it has been three days i have been in my empty room
E dy ditë prej se ke shku // and two days, that you had left
Veq një ditë kam mbet pa qajtë // only one of these days i haven't cried
E të nesërmen t'kam kërku // and the next day, i have searched for you
Një javë bëhet pa dashuri t'rrejshme // it has been a week i have been without this lie of a love
Një ditë shfaqesh e prapë s'je k'tu // one day you show up, the next you're not here
Një orë mall është dhimbje skajshme // an hour of longing, is like extreme pain
Sa një mijë vjet ty me t'besu shtat dit t'javës flasin mirë për ty // as if i believed you for a thousand years, seven days of the week speak well of you
E gjashtë të tjera veq për tradhëti // and the six others speak of betrayal
Pesë netë të gjata sa pesëqind // five long night, feel like five hundred
E katër tjera sa një mijë // and four others like a thousand
Dhjetë orë rruge i kam ba me t'pa // i have traveled ten hours, just to see you
Nëntë të tjera me t'përqafu // nine others to hug you
Ku ta dija unë e shkreta // poor me, how was i to know
Që ty s'kam me tu kujtuu // that i wouldn't mention you again

Refren:
Ditën natën thërras me emer // day and night, i call your name
Malli m'vret veq kur mendoj // the longing kills me but only when i think of you
Dhe për mu do t'kete një zemër // and there will also be one heart for me too
Që do të dijë të mos m'lëndojë // that will know not to hurt me

*your translations were petty accurate : )

[Balkaneuro]

Hey cortom,

here is another added translations

http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/ly...tml#post635253

[Balkaneuro]

and two others

Mahmut Ferati - Me Ty (With You)

Me ty me ty qka osht jeta ekam dit // With you i have figured out what life is
Paty paty kush pom flet pom merzit // without you, whoever speaks to me, bores me
Me ty me ty kisha dal prej dynjas // with you i had explored outside of this world
kur e di qe ste kam,as ne enderr
sdu met pas. // when i know that i don't have you, i don't want to see you in my dreams either

Krejt ikisha dhan krejt ti kisha fal // i had given you everything, i had accepted everything
veq dy syt e tu kurr ne enderr mos // just for you to never visit me only in my dreams
mem ardh.


S'kam Lan Ven Pa Te Permen (I Can't Go Without Mentioning You/ I haven't visited a place without thinking of you/being reminded of you)

Se kam dit sa te du(jojo sa te du), // i didn't know how much i love you (no, no how much i love you)
kur ke shku e kam kuptu(popo ekam kuptu) // when you had left i had understood (yes, yes i had understood)

Krejt dynjan e kam pyt(popo ekam pyt) // i have asked the entire world (yes, yes i have asked)
oo nuk kam lan ven pat lyp (jojo ven pat lyp) // oh i had not left a place without begging (no, no place without begging)

oo skam lan ven opat permen okurr ske dal prej zemres sem, // oh i have not gone to a place, without mentioning you, oh you have never left my heart
edhe nje her ti fol me mu se ma kurr skam met idhnu, // just speak to me once more, and i will never make you bitter again
oveq pak zemer pak per mu mos um le kshtu me jetu. // oh just for a bit sweetheart, just a bit for me , don't let me live this way

I met that song also as "loqka jeme" ...so loqka is another word for hunny/sweetheart?

haha actually from the whole text I got myself:

Une e di // i know
"JO" mos me thuaj // don't tell me 'no'
It's amazing cuz some 2 months ago I knew 4-5 words in Albanian,like zemër,dashuri,ditë,natë... and now I can say I understand some little parts of lyrics lol
I only couldn't understand how is exactly "love" - dashuri or dashuria?

[Balkaneuro]

Originally Posted by tedinkyyy

That's great, good for you tedinkyyy

and they both mean love, just in different context

for example

kam rrene ne dashuri - i have fallen in love

dashuria s'eshte loj - love is not a game

i dashuri im - my love (masculine)

e dashura ime - my love (feminine)

jam i dashuruar - i am in love (masculine)

jam e dashuruar - i am in love (feminine)

[ThreeMinuteWarning]

Thank you, Balkanero. I read many of your other translations already.

I did a better job with the following song because it's simpler, but there is still a lot of guesswork.

But I think some of the words are wrong, I guess it's difficult to understand what she is singing in some places. If you want you can check here, especially from 0:20 to 0:52, and the part starting at 1:35.

There is also something interesting in this song. I read in Wikipedia that the Tosk equivalent of the Gheg sound "n" (as in femen, emen, etc.) is the sound "r" (femer, emer etc.) and in loanwords, the Gheg dialect retains the original "n" sound, like in "femen" (Italian "femminile", English "feminine", etc.), while this is not the case with the Tosk, which uses "r" instead.
But I guess the spelling of some loanwords was not changed and they can be pronounced either way, because in this song at 0:57 and at 3:11 Anjeza sings "momerti", but at 2:11 it's just "momenti".


Anjeza Shahini - Erdhi momenti

Pluhurin e harreses hoqa
sa mendime vijne shpejt
ti ke ardhur krejt papritur
dhe s'e di nese me pret

Hap dritaren
fryme me merr...
Kendo...

(Ja ku me ke ti)

REF:
Ja ku me ke ti
erdhi momenti
eja me mua
te dua, te dua
sa kemi humbur
sot jam e lumtur
eja me mua
te dua, te dua

un tu ditur
vali bluan
ate gje se meriton

sa gabime pa kuptuar
dashurite na i largojn
e kuptuaaaaaaaaaaam
sa gabuaaam



The chorus is relatively easy:
(?)
The moment has come
Come with me
I love you, I love you
How much we have wasted!
Today I am happy

And my guess for the first verse is:
The obstacles are removed
So many thoughts came quickly
You have arrived entirely unexpected
And I don't know whether you are waiting for me
