Translation of the song lyrics POW - Elvana Gjata

POW (original)

Nuk ka pas dashni
U bo flaka hi
Na dy kem zinxhir
Para meje je kon dritë
Para teje jom shkri
Ti ma ke dit dobsinë
E kom qit at pikë
Nuk ka shans mu kthy mo…
Kto zemra boni unsend
Asnjo nuk o' tu mu dasht
Prej meje lype engjëll ama
Ti vet je kon djall…
I bona per ty
Prej vetes jom dal…
Nuk jena kurre mo
Le, le, le…
Se zemrën ti ma vrave mu
Pow pow pow pow
Bebi zemrën ti ma vrave mu
Pow pow pow pow…
Edhe nuk e din sa m’ke lëndu
Aman aman
Jo be' nuk e din sa m’ke lëndu
Aman aman
E plagën mo' se shëron, shëron…
Se shëron asnjë fjalë…
Se shëron, shëron…
Se shëron asnjë fjalë…
Ma vjedhi…
Shpresën ma vjedhi
Mun' me kon ça do, po ti nuk je njeri
Po edhe nëse m'çon n’fund t’detit
Prap kam me dal edhe kam me pa diellin
I kom fol vetit
Ik le nuk ja vlejti
Edhe me rilind prapë
Mbetet i njejti
Veten e kom bind përnime nuk ja vlejti
Kto ndjenja i kom mshel me dry
Kto zemra boni unsend
Asnjo nuk o' tu mu dasht
Prej meje lype engjëll ama
Ti vet je kon djall…
I bona per ty
Prej vetes jom dal…
Nuk jena kurre mo
Le, le, le…
Se zemrën ti ma vrave mu
Pow pow pow pow
Bebi zemrën ti ma vrave mu
Pow pow pow pow…
Edhe nuk e din sa m’ke lëndu
Aman aman
Jo be' nuk e din sa m’ke lëndu
Aman aman
E plagën mo' se shëron, shëron…
Se shëron asnjë fjalë…
Se shëron, shëron…
Se shëron asnjë fjalë…
Se zemrën ti ma vrave mu

POW (translation)

No trace of love abides here,
The blaze is spent—mere ashes now.
We both drag shackles forged from fear,
You stood—a sunbeam’s arrow—at my brow.
Before your gaze, I melted to a pool,
You, clairvoyant, laid my frailty bare,
And I have crossed that silent, fatal rule,
There is no path—no fate—that leads me there…
These hearts have slipped beyond recall,
Not one stirs longing in my hollow chest.
You beg from me an angel, after all,
Yet you, yourself, wore devil’s dress…
What I became—I shaped for you,
From my own soul I wandered, dispossessed…
We are no more—no thread to sew us through,
Let go, let go, let go…
For you, with ruthless hand, have pierced my core,
Pow pow pow pow
Beloved, you have shattered what I was before,
Pow pow pow pow…
And still you cannot fathom what you’ve torn,
Aman aman
No, by my word, you’ll never know my scorn,
Aman aman
This wound—no balm, no time, shall make it whole…
No syllable can seal or soothe this pain…
No salve—no hope—restores my soul…
No utterance undoes what you have slain…
She stole from me…
She took my hope and vanished in the mist,
Be what you wish—you are no human, this I know,
Drag me beneath the sea’s abyss,
I still will rise and greet the sun’s last glow.
I reasoned with my shadow and my name,
Depart—leave—none of it was worth the woe.
Were I reborn, I’d find it all the same,
The mirror never lies about its foe.
Myself I’ve steeled—convinced it’s all in vain,
These feelings now I lock behind cold bars,
These hearts have slipped beyond recall,
Not one stirs longing in my hollow chest.
You beg from me an angel, after all,
Yet you, yourself, wore devil’s dress…
What I became—I shaped for you,
From my own soul I wandered, dispossessed…
We are no more—no thread to sew us through,
Let go, let go, let go…
For you, with ruthless hand, have pierced my core,
Pow pow pow pow
Beloved, you have shattered what I was before,
Pow pow pow pow…
And still you cannot fathom what you’ve torn,
Aman aman
No, by my word, you’ll never know my scorn,
Aman aman
This wound—no balm, no time, shall make it whole…
No syllable can seal or soothe this pain…
No salve—no hope—restores my soul…
No utterance undoes what you have slain…
For you, with ruthless hand, have pierced my core
