Lyrics translations (Albanian music)

[Alboz]

In your arms
I've found my place
Cause there nothing hurts
Cause with you my soul rests
In my arms
When I smell your perfume
The heart fills with love
I'm sure with you, I know

I want to grow up with you
I want to grow old with you
Because you don't know
All my life I've been searching for you

Now that I found you
Please stay and don't leave me alone
Cause I don't want this life without you
Now that I found you
In your arms, I want to die
Cause I don't want this life
Without you, without you

Can you forgive me
I'm not good with words
Every time you're in front of me
I can't breathe
And the heart stops
Oh my soul
Your happiness is my happiness
Your tear is my tear
It hurts me when you're hurt

I want to give you my eyes
So you can understand
Why my heart is beating for you
Why I love you
Now that I found you
In your arms, I want to die
Cause I don't want this life
Without you, without you

[Alboz]

I kept my eyes closed, so that I couldn't see you leaving
I kept my head high, even though my feet were shaking
I tried to breathe deeply, and to calm my soul
And to let you leave, and to let you leave, and to let you leave

But if the hurting comes, it's welcome, so long as it comes faster
To conquer me - the sooner, the better - because I can't and don't want to
Waste all my days thinking about you

And if sometimes I can forget you
If sometimes I can, once again, open my heart
And have the sun shine
sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
If sometimes you long for my company
Know that the doors of my heart are open (for you)
I'm in the same place you left me that time
sometimes, sometimes

And the weight of love, I myself carried upon my shoulders
I never asked you for anything
And the road that you've chosen
Isn't one of love - you're never going to reach your destination
And if one day you remember me, I hope it's for good
Don't think of how I am (now)

[Alboz]

Tight lips, shaking voice
The words are tight inside my throat
I couldn't believe me (the) poor
That for every beginning there is an end
And waited,and planted
A seed that would never be planted
defeated, I witnessed her freedom (seeds freedom)

There is no second that my breathing isn't stopped
There is no minute that I don't want to die
There is no hour that I feel nostalgic
There is no day that I give up waiting
And there is no night that my dream isn't taken
There is no week that my consciousness isn't killing me
There is no month, there is no season
There is no year, century, LIFE

My thoughts escape
In places that I never stepped (never went/walked into)
(my) heart like a clock (the item) is stacked
And stops every time you're not here
I am tired of myself
I am tired of this f2CKING agony
I am withered from thirst, for her eyes

[Alboz]

It's difficult to be free
When your heart is chained
I know, I know who is speaking, he who once had the world at his feet
And now he misses you, and now you're bothering him, only you

There's no yesterday,there's no today, there's no tomorrow
Why am I understanding it this late?
That without you I'm neither in the sky, neither in the ground, neither in the dreams
Why did this pride blinded me? When all I wanted it was you, but you still don't know it

I have no voice anymore, I have no tears
But belive me, everything without you looks in vain
I know who is speaking, he who gave you pain and solitude
And now you're hurting him, now he misses you without limits

There's no yesterday, there's no today, there's no tomorrow
Why am I understanding it this late?
That without you I'm neither in the sky, neither in the ground, neither in the dreams
Why did this pride blind me? When all I wanted it was you, but you still don't know it

[Alboz]

The sky sheds its light over the city
while the soul leaves the body in solitude
This distant voice once again leaves me uneasy
posing a million questions to the scene.

Oh how fearful it is to think of my life as only a drop in the water
no, it can’t be solely by chance, the pain that a mother feels when her kid is suffering
no, it can’t be solely poetry when the heart shivers in the presence of love
no, it can’t be solely irony when living amongst millions of injustices.

As a new life is born, a new universe is formed
as another one fades in the immortal foreverness
sadness surrounds when believing that all we are, are passengers of time.

No, it can’t be solely by chance, the pain that a mother feels when her kid is suffering
no, it can’t be solely poetry when your heart shivers in the presence of love
no, it can’t be solely irony when living amongst millions of injustices.

As much as it scares me, it also leaves me speechless
at the end, this mystery is not only a tale
as I am still alive.

No, they can’t be solely history, the ones that gave their lives in the fight against slavery
no, it can’t be solely fantasy, the power of a dream which knows neither time nor boundaries
no, it can’t be solely a miracle, to pave your future for a life in continuation
perhaps we are one, perhaps we are energy, derived from the same pain and the same happiness
forever human.

(dedicated to sexually abused women during the last war in Kosovo)

Who am I?
A hopeless body, yet still in motion
It is I, who am I?
A soul in oblivion, a life in recollection
Suppressed, crestfallen,
tired, defeated I stand
Is it I?Is it I? Is it I?

Silence tears me up, yet silence keeps me going
Cause it is the only life I have got
And silence hurts, wrecks me daily
Yet remains the only friend I can get
To talk to, and what can I say
Other than, I am in pain, so much pain

This is not I, my mirth long forgotten
And the day is over, no, no, no
It is no longer I, an endless darkness
And a roaring silence
Suppressed, crestfallen,
tired, defeated I stand
Is it I?Is it I? Is it I?

Silence tears me up, yet silence keeps me going
Cause it is the only life I have got
And silence hurts, wrecks me daily
Yet remains the only friend I can get
To talk to, and what can I say

Listen, you listen to me
I shall step forward, return to life
Now, you listen to me
I shall find some strength to break the silence
Now!

(in post-war Kosova, apart from all the socio-economical problems that resulted from the conflict, the issue of the missing persons still touches the lives of many families. The fate of thousands of people still remains unknown. Reflecting this issue, Koperativa designed and produced Eliza Hoxhas music video, featuring short stories of nostalgia, vanishing memories and loneliness)

So many letters i write, but i don't have an address where i can send them
So many days passed, so many tears that don't have an end
Are you alive or death? I don't know anything
But in my heart, you still breathe (you are still alive)
So many prayers, now i pray too
For them that there aren't anymore
This song is also a testimony
cause i can't do more

I don't ask anything, only that this pain to goes away
I'm so tired to wait, but i can't quit
I want at last to know where are you buried
The pain will always remain with me
but at last, i will be free

Nothing make sense anymore
nor this waiting that broke me
The pain don't go away
even with the lyric of this song
I refuse to think that you don't exist anymore
but how can i belive it, when i'm hostage of this pain
You taken everything from me,
and now i want, at last a thing from you
I'm lost in this world
with hope that you will come back
with all the others, i really believe it

[Alboz]

Until the pain
Slaughters this silence
And I fly
Fly beyond the clouds
With thousands of nights and days
The truth repeats over and over again
Until the soul cries
When I remember the song
That has been taken away from me

I hug you in my garden
I hear your voice again
I kiss your eyes
I can imagine this pleasure

Until the pain
Pierces this solitude
I wait to meet you
I go beyond the mountain for you
I miss you, I cry like a child for you
I don't even want to know the truth
Until the soul aches
When I remember the dream
That we saw together

Now the garden is no more
The leaves have not fallen
The flowers are saying
That you are no more

[Alboz]

Your smile and your voice come to me by wind
Your eyesight and your lips get enlightened to me by spring
You walk slow around sky like a fairy
I hear your name in the wind, i think i see you

Something that gets broken
and when it get sticked again is noted
They say "wine speaks the truth"
people usualy express themselves when they are drunk
Tomorrow when i open my door all problems will come back
and you walk away like a dream, and i follow you with the wind
With hope that i will touch you, i try again and again
but in vain this time because no one says a good thing for us
As long as we were happy people's mouth never stopped
and now we go around lost like it never had a value
Damn how much i miss you
i want to kiss your forehead
I beg you to come back
i wanna be with you from the first to the last second
Forget gold, royal and luxurious life
it's surreal, like you, my fairy
No apology , after break up tears fall and drain
this decision making gives me strength to accept fault
I want to win the weight, because i can't anymore feel the arm holding it
when you will hear my voice, i know, you are gonna cry

Your smile and your voice come to me by wind
Your eyesight and your lips get enlightened to me by spring
You walk slow around sky like a fairy
I hear your name in the wind, i think i see you

The lost is bitterly when 2 related persons break up
at the end i know a breakup come like silence without sounds
And im convinced that perfect we are not born
but to improve and feel, not without reasons
Now it's fashion: "lets break up" , or whatever
a not important conversation, i'm drinking a lot
I know that you are far but i can hear you a lot
loneliness is eating me inside when i know that you ain't mine
Wounds at the end will be cured and what's left will be just scars
Fire, my heart is getting fire
just like shingle, alive or dead we end
Like a fairytale with angels and demons, the situation is really bad
I can't take on my self to face the truth
memories get lost, these i have decided to keep em on the papers
My heart is frozen, it's getting colder and i'm thirsty
when i see your silhouette, i get my smile back

[Alboz]

How much I'm yearning
for an old song
for the sounds of Kavall (an instrument similiar to flute)
(how much I'm yearning)
to sing for love as an old lover
and to hear words of Truth

On high levels
men are singing
Your name they are mentioning (remembering)
In this world
poors are Your lovers
Make a space for them near You

The faces are shining like the moon during night
The light made the heart white
to us give light
May I incline to this Mercy, oh seed of love
Oh God make this heart of mine
a place of bliss

The morning came and it was empty
the lovers went away
they left us alone
Come tonight
oh brother
let us stay together
for the sake of Love let us dine
let us talk until the morning comes
since, those who from the world want to get away
with the name of the Truth, they become lovers
