What if they gave a fire and nobody came.
albanian traditional songs are the most difficult to translate because they are filled with too many symbols, analogies, metaphors and similes that will not make any sense in english unfortunately. hopefully when i have more time i can start tackling some of the translations posted by you and many others, or hopefully someone else can help you sooner. glad to see you are interested in albanian traditional music - it is beautiful!

skifter etemi - mė martoj nėneja larg nė amerikė (my mother married me off far away to america)
mė martoj nėneja larg nė amerikė // my mother married me off far away to america //
jas-aman aman, jas-aman ojijė // oh my, oh dear (the word 'aman' is used as "oh my" expression but this line doesn't really have another meaning)
sec ma dogji zemrėn, c'me kėputi shpirt // oh how she burned my heart, she ripped out my soul
jas-aman aman, jas-aman ojijė
gjith ditėn mendohem si t'ja bėj se di, // all i wonder, how will i cope
digjem pėrvėlohem, tretem si qiri // i burn and boil, i melt like a candle
jas-aman aman, jas-aman, ojijė
seē i f'shiva lotėt me qosh tė shamisė // i dried my tears with the side of my handkerchief
jas-aman aman, jas-aman ojijė
malli ēmė ka marė, per pragun te stepise // i have missed the front door to my house so much
jas-aman aman, jas-aman ojijė
ta qova njė letėr njė fotografi // i brought you a letter and a photograph
jas-aman aman, jas-aman oji
fshimi nėnė lotėt, lotėt por si shi // dry my tears mother, my tears that are like the rain
jas-aman aman, jas-aman oji
Yes, I have been enjoying the music quite a bit lately. Because I folk dance, I also enjoy watching the dancing. I look forward to finding out the meaning of many of the songs.
I use Google Translate to try and figure out the titles, as well as some of the lyrics or comments in all the different languages.
One of the songs that I like is Kenge per Ali Kalin . I am wondering who he is besides a man who does tricks with horses.

One of the other songs that I like is Merak qe s'me ike kurre

I found lyrics but is in the other dialect, so I can't translate it at all.
Ju faleminderit shumė pėr ndihmėn tuaj.
