    Default Enkelejda Alushi - Balade Came

    Hey guys, it's me again. I was looking for some new songs when I found this one

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrQ-dy8ruuw

    Wow, what a powerful song... I would love to know the lyrics, but they're nowhere to be found... it's always so hard to find albanian lyrics online :-(

    Can you guys please help me. I'd appreciate it...

    I found out that this beautiful song is based on poem Balade Ēame by Bilal Xhaferri

    here's it

    Ylberi, si nje pershendetje e perlotur
    lamtumire,
    u zhduk matane largesive,
    mbi kreshtat e flakeve,
    neper shi.
    Matane largesive u zhduk e perflakur
    Ēameria
    dhe gjitha rruget tona shpien ne veri.

    Ulerin era e Mesdheut mbi trojet e
    lashta epirote,
    mbi te shtrenjtat troje tona
    stergjyshore.
    Ne kullotat e braktisura kullosin rrufete.
    Ullishtet e pavjelura gjemojne si dallge
    neper bregore.

    Dhe kudo toka ēame
    mbuluar nga rete,
    renkon e mbytur ne gjak e lot,
    e mbetur shkrete,
    pa zot.
    Na e tregojne drejtimin plumbat,
    na e ndriēojne rrugen flake, qe gjithe
    token kane perpire.

    Pas shpinave tona perplas tufani
    dyert e shkallmuara te shtepive.
    Dhe rruget zgjaten e zgjaten ne veri.
    Ne, popull muhaxhir, ecim neper shi...
    Lamtumire, Ēameri!

    and translation

    In the distance fades a rainbow
    Over the tips of the pyres,
    A tearful word of farewell
    In the pouring rain.
    In the distance fades Chameria, our homeland in flames
    And all of the roads take us northwards.
    Over ancient Epirotic lands moans a Mediterranean wind,
    Over the precious fields of our ancestors,
    Lightning now feeds on the abandoned pastures,
    Olive groves, unharvested, groan like the waves beating against the coast,
    And on all sides, Cham land,
    Enveloped in clouds,
    Gasps and drowns in blood and tears,
    Forsaken
    And forlorn.
    The bullets slicing through the darkness show us the way,
    Flames that have devoured the soil, light up our path,
    Behind us the storm lashes at the creaking doors of one-time homes.
    And the road stretches northwards, northwards forever.
    A folk now in exile, we wander in the downpour,
    Farewell Chameria!

    The singer doesn't sing all poem, only some parts of it, but the meaning doesn't change.
    Pertėj kohės e hapsirės,
    tej tė keqes e te mirės
