Lyrics: Albanian to English

Shpat Kasapi - Pa Ty S'Jetoj ( I Won't Live Without You)

Nganjehere me bene te cmendem, nganjehere me bene te qaj
at times you make me go crazy, at times you make me cry
O sa shum ty te kerkoj, sa te kujtoj
oh, how much i ask about you, i remind myself of you
Per ty gjithcka do te bej, zemren time ta dhuroj
I'll do anything for you, i give you my heart
Cdo minut te jetes time ty do ta kushtoj
every minute of my life I'll dedicate to you

Te dashuroj, per jete ty ste harroj
i'm loving(love) you, i won't forget you in my entire life
Pa ty s'jetoj pa ty dua te vajtoj.
i can't live without you, without you i want to mourn


Pa ty dielli nuk me ngrohe, pa ty hena nuk ndricon
without you the sun doesn't warm me, without you the moon doesn't shine
Pa ty zemra eshte e verber lote ne shpirtin tim,
without you my heart is blind, tears on my soul

Balkaneuro, thank you a lot !!

hi,

i'm looking for the lyrics (and translation for sure) of "tjeter bote" from jericho but cant find in anywhere!

and can anyone pls help me about the translation of this minatori song:


Si Shiu Në Xhama Që Bien

Ti je sikur drita e diellit te pare
Sikur shiu ne token e thare
Si nje lajm i mire ne fund

Ti je si nje zog qe fluturon
Si nje sy qe lotin pikon
Dashuri qe ndodhe nje here

Ti e din se jeta nuk esht aventur
Diten vin dhe shkojn askund
Ti e din se jeta nuk esht aventur
Diten vin dhe shkojn askund

E une te pres,sikur nata ne sy te vdes
Si nje yll qe shuhet ne det
Dashuri qe ndodhe nje here

Te shikoj,sikur shiu qe ne xhamat bjen
Sa e bukur,e embel me vjen
Sa e bukur e embel me vjen

Ti e din se jeta nuk eshte aventure
Ditet vijne dhe shkojne askund
Ti e din se jeta nuk eshte aventure
Ditet vijne dhe shkojne askund

8 vjetë unë pran teje kam qenë e dënuar
asnjëherë asgjë ti s'ke pa,
Shpirti qante, por unë kurrë nuk jam ankuar
viktimë e një qejfi kam ra.


Pse s'më flet. Shikon tokën dhe hesht
Pse m'bërtet. Dashuria ku mbet
Vrave një jetë!


Sonte unë me ty çdo gjë e kam mbaruar
Sonte ti pranove s'me don
Sonte 8 vjet jete ti m'i ke mohuar
Sonte një femër ty do t'mallkon.


Mallkoj veten pse unë sytë i kam mbyllur
kam gënjyer se mirë po shkon
sa here desha, po asnjëherë s'të kam pyetur
pse kur t'puth ti kokën largon.

I´m always doing gymnastics to this song so I really wanted to know what it´s about.

Si Shiu Në Xhama Që Bien

(do you have the link to the vedio/song for tjeter bote?)

Minatori - Si Shiu Në Xhama Kur Bie
Minatori - Like rain falling on glass

Ti je sikur drita e diellit te pare
Youre like the light of the first sun
Sikur shiu ne token e thare
Like rain on dry land
Si nje lajm i mire ne fund
Like good news at the end

Ti je si nje zog qe fluturon
Youre like a bird that flies
Si nje sy qe lotin pikon
Like an eye that tears (cries)
Dashuri qe ndodhe nje here
Love that happens only once

Ti e din se jeta nuk esht aventur
You know that life is not an adventure
Diten vin dhe shkojn askund
Days come and go nowhere
Ti e din se jeta nuk esht aventur
You know that life is not an adventure
Diten vin dhe shkojn askund
Days come and go nowhere

E une te pres,sikur nata ne sy te vdes
And i wait for you, even if the night died on my eyes
Si nje yll qe shuhet ne det
Like a star, (that can be) extinguished in the sea
Dashuri qe ndodhe nje here
Love that only happens once

Te shikoj,sikur shiu qe ne xhamat bjen
I watch you, like rain falling on glass
Sa e bukur,e embel me vjen
So beatuiful, so sweet (me vjen = it comes)
Sa e bukur e embel me vjen
So beatuiful, so sweet


Ti e din se jeta nuk esht aventur
You know that life is not an adventure
Diten vin dhe shkojn askund
Days come and go nowhere
Ti e din se jeta nuk esht aventur
You know that life is not an adventure
Diten vin dhe shkojn askund
Days come and go nowhere

8 vjetë unë pran teje kam qenë e dënuar
8 years ive stayed punished beside you
asnjëherë asgjë ti s'ke pa,
you never saw a thing
Shpirti qante, por unë kurrë nuk jam ankuar
my soul cried, but i never complained
viktimë e një qejfi kam ra.
i fell victim of your fun/game?


Pse s'më flet. Shikon tokën dhe hesht
Why dont you speak to me. You look down and dont say a thing
(toke = earth/floor) ... (hesht = silence)
Pse m'bërtet. Dashuria ku mbet
Why do you yell at me. Where is the love
Vrave një jetë!
You killed a life


Sonte unë me ty çdo gjë e kam mbaruar
Tonight, ive ended everything with you
Sonte ti pranove s'me don
Tonight you accepeted you dont love me
Sonte 8 vjet jete ti m'i ke mohuar
Tonight, 8 years of my life youve denied
Sonte një femër ty do t'mallkon.
Tonight a female will curse you


Mallkoj veten pse unë sytë i kam mbyllur
I curse my self why my eyes are closed / why i closed my eyes
kam gënjyer se mirë po shkon
ive lied (to myselfe) that everything was going fine
sa here desha, po asnjëherë s'të kam pyetur
so many times ive wanted but never asked
pse kur t'puth ti kokën largon.
why when i kiss you, you pull your head away

[thanks to Balkaneuro for correction :]

sot = today
sonte = tonight

Could someone please translate DUli gabimi behet nje her? Thxx !

Sorry didnt found the lyrics ! :$

Sorry didnt found the lyrics ! :$

Duli - Gabimi Behet Njehere
Duli - mistakes are made only once (dont repeate the same mistake)

Fajet kush I ka tregom une a po ty
Tell me whos fault is it, yours or mine?
Zgjodhe rrugen qe sishte per ty
You chose the wrong path (path that wasnt for you)
Fundi keshtu mbaron per vajzat si ti
This is the way it ends for girls like you
Kshtu jan punet kur sheh larg me sy
Its the way things go when you look too far ahead?


Ref: gabimi behet njeher por ti gabon sdi sa her
mistakes are made only once, but you mistake i dont know how many times
Rrenat harxhoehen shansat zvoglohen
? ... run out and chances get smaller (rrenat?)
Beso se fundin ia ke nxjerr
Believe it youve shown the end?

(i dont know how to translate this but when someone says "ja nxore fundin" it means youve done something so many times youre showing the end of it. it would make more sense if it was refering to an object cause by "end of it" i dont mean they'll stop doing it/using it

edit: k i just thought of it ..it means you wore it out lol)


Nuk e di pse e ul koken e po me thu se di
I dont know why you put your head down and say "i dont know"
Ndoshta nuk tam ban ndergjegja me me pa ne sy
Maybe your conscience wont let you look me in the eye
Sdi sa her me premtove por vetem me fjal
I dont know how many times you promised only with words
tash tregom a meriton me ta fal
Now tell me do you deserve forgivness

I had an item on Sami Kallmi for my blog recently. Suddenly I had this flash of inspiration and I tried to translate the lyrics of his song Mercedesi. Now I wonder if I got close. Corrections would be appreciated. I didn't make it very litteral, couldn't if I wanted to, but I tried to get the meaning across.

Mercedesi
...The mercedes

për një vajzë të bukur
...a beautiful girl
e prisha makinën
...damaged my car
makina shkatërrohet
...the car broke down
vajza më largohet
...and the girl ran away from me

të dua të dua
,,,I love you, I love you
mos luaj me mua
...do not play with me
herë ti më afrohesh
...one moment you bump into me
herë ti më largohesh
...and the next you run away

bukurija ime
...beautiful girl of mine
të bërë shpenzime
...you cost me money
çka më bëhet qejfi
...(but) it was a pleasure
prishe mercedesin
...that you damaged my car

me makinën time
...because of my car
po bëra shpenzime
...I had many expenses
nëpër benzinata
...at the service-station
po më kalon nata
...I (had to) spend the night

për shishe alkoholi
...due to a bottle of alcohol
mendja mu më doli
...my mind went black
nuk e ndjej kur vajzën
...and I didn't notice when the girl
(... boli??)
...(Here I miss a single line of the text. Can anyone complete it?)
...(Here's a link to the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N19nAlxYIA)

oj nena ime, oj nena ime
...mother, o mother
vajza simpatike
...that nice girl
më futi në mendime
...still haunts my mind


I thought the 'story' made sense, but maybe I'm just inventing things?? I am curious too about the litteral meaning of 'çka me behet qejfi ...'.


Then one more question. The phrase 'Amanet ka lone' turns up in several songs. It has been translated as 'to have left its will', but I still do not understand it. Could it be taken to mean 'As tradition wants it', or more simply, 'according to tradition'?

i just fixed some of the wording, but you had the right idea, good job

Mercedesi
...The mercedes

për një vajzë të bukur
...for a beautiful girl
e prisha makinën
I damaged my car
makina shkatërrohet
the car is breaking down
vajza më largohet
and the girl is getting farther away

të dua të dua
,,,I love you, I love you
mos luaj me mua
...do not play with me
herë ti më afrohesh
at times you get closer
herë ti më largohesh
and the next you run away

bukurija ime
...beautiful girl of mine
të bërë shpenzime
you cost me money
çka më bëhet qejfi,
...(but) it makes me happy (makes my day
i think maybe it's:
ska me behet qejfi
whatever, it makes my day
(i guess like hes seeing her more often so he doesn't care about the car? i don't know haha)
prishe mercedesin
you damaged the car

me makinën time
with my car
po bëra shpenzime
i created many expenses
nëpër benzinata
at gas stations
po më kalon nata
my night is passing by

për shishe alkoholi
for a bottle of alcohol
mendja mu më doli
i've been going out of my mind
nuk e ndjej kur vajzën
i don't notice when the girl
(... boli??)
...(Here I miss a single line of the text. Can anyone complete it?)
...(Here's a link to the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N19nAlxYIA)

I couldn't make this out either sorry

oj nena ime, oj nena ime
...mother, o mother
vajza simpatike
...that nice girl
më futi në mendime
put me into thoughts

lene amanet means one has left their trust (that you will carry down the tradition of whatever they asked you to do)
^ if you are looking at it from a keeping traditional view

le amanet means bequeath which means to give or leave by will.

for example: grandfather wanted us to take keep our land.

so this means the grandfather leaves a will (le amanet) to his sons.

I hope that wasn't confusing...

te falemnderit korcare19, hope i can find it from an another way. if i can, i'll send it here too...

I'm interested in the (translations of) the lyrics of two Albanian traditionals. Wedding songs, if I'm not mistaken.

First "Ra faja prej fikut". I found this on teksteshqip:

I: Të rroftë Faja nuse! :I
I: O me shami të kuqe. :I
Refreni:
Jarnana, na, ne hopa
Jarnana, na, ne hopa.
Ra Faja prej fiku.
Nuk e zu dekiku.
Refreni
Jarnana…
Se ç’po digjet një shami
Porsi gjaku flakë e kuqe
Vello e Fajës po nxierr tym
Edhe zjarri si të shuhet?
Refreni:
Jarnana…

And I have a link to the video by Artan Kola and Kastro Zizo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnWRrxp5uls
(bad quality sound, but I can provide a better quality mp3 if need be)

Usually I don't like Kastro Zizo AT ALL, but this song is fun, I think.
btw: Am I right about the female voice being Zajmina Vasjari?


Second I'm curious about "Morra mandolinen" (or is it "Rroka mandolinen"?)

Mora mandolinen
dola ne sokak
o moj vajze e vogel
pse ma ben me dore

mora mandolinen
dola ne oborr
o moj vajze e vogel
mos ma bej me dore

vaj vaj vaj
gishtat me kajmak
o moj vajze e vogel
mos me bej merak
vaj vaj vaj
gishtat me kajmak
o moj vajze e vogel
mos me bej merak

Mora mandolinen
dola ne .... ? ...
o moj vajze e vogel
mos ma bej me sy
mora madolinen
dola ne ... ? ....
o moj vajze e vogel
mos ma bej me sy

Vaj vaj vaj
gishtat me kajmak
o moj vajze e vogel
mos me bej merak
vaj vaj vaj
gishtat me kajmak
o moj vajze e vogel
mos me bej merak

And this is a slight variant:



I: Rroka mandolinën
Dola në çardak.
Oh mos cuca e vogël
T’u kam ba merak! :I
Ref.:
I: Vaj, vaj, vaj
Gishtat me bajrak
Oh moj cuca e vogël
T’u kam ba merak! :I
Rroka mandolinën
Dola në oborr.
Oh moj cuca e vogël
Po ma ban me dorë.
Ref.:
Vaj, vaj, vaj
Gushën si kajmak
Oh moj cuca e vogël
Hajde pak ma ngat!
Rroka mandolinën
Dola në sokak.
Oh moj cuca e vogël
T’u kam ba merak!
Ref.:
Vaj, vaj, vaj
Shtatin si selvi.
Oh moj cuca e vogël
Pa ty s’un të rri!
Rroka mandolinën
Dola në çarshi.
Oh moj cuca e vogël
Mos ma ban me sy!
Ref.:
Vaj, vaj, vaj
Gishtat me bajrak
Oh moj cuca e vogël
T’u kam ba merak

Hey! This song is such an old and popular folksong, very well known. The difference is one is sang in the toske dialect and the other in the gheg dialect, this is shown through the vocabulary used.

Mora Mandolinen[Toske] ( I took the mandolin)
Rroka Mandolinen[Ghege] (I Strummed the (strings of the) Mandolin)

Mora mandolinen
i took the mandolin (with me)
dola ne sokak
i went out to the street
o moj vajze e vogel
oh little girl
pse ma ben me dore
why are you waving to me (making me fall for you)

mora mandolinen
i took the mandolin (with me)
dola ne oborr
i went out to the yard
o moj vajze e vogel
oh little girl
mos ma bej me dore
don't wave at me

vaj vaj vaj
oh, oh, oh
gishtat me kajmak
your fingers like cream
o moj vajze e vogel
oh little girl
mos me bej merak
don't leave me curious


And this is a slight variant:



I: Rroka mandolinën
I strummed the strings of the mandolin
Dola në çardak
i went out to the arbour
Oh mos cuca e vogël
oh little girl
T’u kam ba merak! :I
i have become curious(fascinated) of you
Ref.:
I: Vaj, vaj, vaj* (this term is used to show surprise or pain)
oh my
Gishtat me bajrak
your fingers (i think it means fingernails) with colors
Vaj, vaj, vaj
oh my
Gushën si kajmak
?
Oh moj cuca e vogël
oh little girl
Hajde pak ma ngat!
come a little closer

Shtatin si selvi*
tall like a cypress (this is a term to mean beautiful)
Oh moj cuca e vogël
oh little girl
Pa ty s’un të rri!
i can't be without you
Rroka mandolinën
i strummed the strings of the mandolin
Dola në çarshi.
i went out to the cherry tree
Oh moj cuca e vogël
oh little girl
Mos ma ban me sy!
don't wink at me
