Vajzë e valëve [English translation]

Girl of the waves

her heart can’t bear it anymore.

On a rock by the sea,

she weeps, poor girl, she weeps.

Waiting for the one

while pain tears her apart.

All come and go

only he doesn’t appear.

“Beautiful birds

my only hope lies in you.

You who fly over land and sea

please listen to my plea.”

“Did you see him

is he dead or alive

is he writing a letter

does he still remember me?”
