| Ta fala ty veten | To you, I yielded up my very soul, |
| Si asnjëri tjetër | Unlike to any other in this world, |
| Se t'kam dasht | For I have loved you—wild and uncontroll'd— |
| E ndenjat mu tretën | Now all my feelings, like snow, melt and swirl. |
| Me ta fal ty jetën | With you, my life itself I would bequeath, |
| T'jemi bashkë | If only we could wander, joined as one, |
| |
| Të doje si unë ti | Had you but loved as I, with every breath— |
| Nuk munde jo, jo ti | Yet you could not, no, not you, not undone. |
| Më duhet të ndjej | I must endure the ache that never dies, |
| Mungesën tënde përjetë | Your absence carves its shadow evermore, |
| Çdo ditë që mungon ti | Each day you vanish—petal of you flies— |
| Ikën nga një copë shpirti | And from my soul, another leaf is torn. |
| Dua të t'shoh, por jo ti nuk je | I long to see you—yet you are not near— |
| |
| Këtu s'do jem unë | And here, I shall not linger, not remain, |
| Do jem larguar, ah sa larg | I shall have gone, oh, gone from all that's dear, |
| Të ndjeja unë tepër | I felt you spill through me, a fevered rain. |
| E ti jo me zemër, ah sa pak | But you, with heart unready, gave me less, |
| |
| Të doje si unë ti | Had you but loved as I, with every breath— |
| Nuk munde jo, jo ti | Yet you could not, no, not you, not confess. |
| Më duhet të ndjej | I must endure the ache that never dies, |
| Mungesën tënde përjetë | Your absence carves its shadow evermore, |
| Çdo ditë që mungon ti | Each day you vanish—petal of you flies— |
| Ikën nga një copë shpirti | And from my soul, another leaf is torn. |
| Dua të t'shoh, por jo ti nuk je | I long to see you—yet you are not near— |
| |
| Të doje si unë ti | Had you but loved as I, with every breath— |
| Nuk munde jo, jo ti | Yet you could not, no, not you, not confess. |
| Më duhet të ndjej | I must endure the ache that never dies, |
