Translation of the song Portret Heroine artist Agim Krajka

I.

I.

Dikur

Back in the days,

Me ty vogelushe, vjen n’mend

together as kids, it comes to mind

Qe bridhnim ne lendina

We roamed around the meadows

Si dy luleshqerre.

Like two daisies.

Ashtu na rrodhi femijeria

This is how our childhood flowed

Por jeta, nga lendina

But life, from the meadows

Ne na shkoi pastaj

Took us then

Ne beteje.

to the battles.

- Refreni

- Refrain

Diku larg ti u bere

Somewhere far away you became

Heroine, shoqja ime

Heroine, my friend

S’te pashe me ne asnje vend.

I never saw you anywhere.

Dhe lulet qe ne mblidhnim

And the flowers we used to pick

Ne lendine, vijne e ulen

In the meadow, they come and sit

Mbi portretin tend.

Above your portrait.

II.

Mbi balle

On the forehead

sec ke nje yll si zjarri

You just have a star like fire

Kurse ne sy te dridhen

While in the eyes tremble

Si atehere, fije bari.

Same as then, grass leaflets.

-Refreni

- Refrain

Diku larg ti u bere

Somewhere far away you became

Heroine, shoqja ime

Heroine, my friend

S’te pashe me ne asnje vend.

I never saw you anywhere.

Dhe lulet qe ne mblidhnim

And the flowers we used to pick

Ne lendine, vijne e ulen

In the meadow, they come and sit

Mbi portretin tend.

Above your portrait.

Une kesh

I had

Dikur nje shoqen time

Once a friend of mine

Qe vitet sot ma dhane

That years today brought back

Portret heroine.

A Heroine portrait.

Ma dhane.

Brought her back.
