| 1) E mbylla deren dhe u vetmova,
| 1) I closed the door and became alone,
|
| e thirra nefsin dhe e qortova,
| I called the soul and rebuked it,
|
| e i kujtova t’bamat e mia,
| and I remembered my grandmothers,
|
| si m’kaloj jeta, si m’shkoj rinia
| how is my life, how is my youth
|
| e i thash vetes pse po vonohesh
| and you said to yourself why you are late
|
| koha kalon e ti spo pendohesh, pse je larg Zotit,
| time passes and you do not repent, why are you far from God,
|
| kush eshte shkaktar,
| who is the cause,
|
| Ai esht i urte e eshte bujar
| He is wise and generous
|
| 2) As nje arsye jo nuk e gjeta,
| 2) I did not find a single reason,
|
| ilaq per zemren veq e VERTETA,
| medicine for the heart only the TRUTH,
|
| sme mbeti tjeter e u dorzova,
| I was left alone and I surrendered,
|
| e ula koken e u turprova
| I lowered my head and was ashamed
|
| E i thash vetes pse po vonohesh
| And you said to yourself why you are late
|
| koha kalon e ti spo pendohesh,
| time passes and you don't regret it,
|
| pse je larg Zotit,
| why are you far from God,
|
| kush eshte shkaktar,
| who is the cause,
|
| Ai esht i urte e eshte bujar (2x) | He is wise and generous (2x) |
