Translation of the song Buka dhe çeliku artist Agim Prodani

1.Vrapojne vogelushen neper ara

1. The children spread around the farmfields

Toka buzeqesh e thote: keta c’jane

The land smiles asking what they’re doing here

Te rinj te reja e veteran

Young people and veterans

Mbledhin kallinjte duarplote.

Hands full collecting wheat stalks

2.Hapem tarracat thelle ne male

2. We carved terraces in remote mountains

Zhdukem mocalet dhe keneten

We drained marshes and the swamps

Thame buken do ta bejme vete.

We vowed to produce the bread ourselves.

E do ta mbajme kete premtim

And we will keep this promise

- Refreni

- Chorus

Token e duam o si lirine

We love the land like the freedom

Rrisim grurin o si femine

We grow the wheat like caring for children

Ne syte tona sheh lumturine

In our eyes one sees the happiness

Eshte gazi i jetes se re.

It is the joy of the new life.

Ngrehu hidh vallen o ne gezime

Get up, dance, and be happy

Shqiperia jone gjithnje trime

Our always brave Albania

Per ty celin o vec agime

Your sky knows only dawns

Eshte kenge e jetes se re.

It is the song of the new life.

3. Toka nen vehte kishte hekur

3. The land beneath itself had iron

Ne shekuj flinte minerali

The mineral sleeping there for centuries

Plorin prej druri kish fshatari

Wooden used to be peasant’s plow

Endrra e metalit digjej zjarr.

The dream about metal burning ablaze.

4. Por duhej vite te kalonin

4. But it took years of time

Me keto duar te shkrijme celikun

With these hands to get to melt the steel

Ta ngrinim lart Metalurgjikun

High up to build the Metallurgy

Drite e mburoje per atdhe.

A light and shield for homeland.

- Refreni

- Chorus

Token e duam o si lirine

We love the land like the freedom

Rrisim grurin o si femine

We grow the wheat like caring for children

Ne syte tona sheh lumturine

In our eyes one sees the happiness

Eshte gazi i jetes se re.

It is the joy of the new life.

Ngrehu hidh vallen o ne gezime

Get up, dance, and be happy

Shqiperia jone gjithnje trime

Our always brave Albania

Per ty celin o vec agime

Your sky knows only dawns,

Kenge e fitoreve.

Song of victories.

Na ndrit ky diell si ar

This sun shines on us like gold

na buzeqesh kjo jete

This life smiles on us

Lum per ty moj Parti.

Congratulations my Party.

Flakeron çelik shqiptar

Albanian steel flares

Vallezon o grure si det

Wheat fields dance like sea

Lum per ty Shqiperi.

Lucky you Albania.
