ALBANIAN LYRICS Rreth flamurit t prbashkuar Me nj dshir' e nj qllim, T gjith' atje duke u betuar T lidhim besn pr shptim. Prej lufte ve ai largohet Q sht lindur tradhtar, Kush sht burr nuk friksohet, Po vdes, po vdes si nj dshmor! N dor armt do t'i mbajm, T mbrojm atdheun n do knd, T drejtat tona ne s'i ndajm; Ktu armiqt s'kan vnd! Se Zoti vet e tha me goj Q kombe shuhen prmbi dh, Po Shqipria do t rroj; Pr t, pr t luftojm ne! O Flamur, flamur, shenj' e shenjt Tek ti betohemi ktu Pr Shqiprin, atdheun e shtrenjt, Pr nder' edhe lavdimn e tu. Trim burr quhet dhe nderohet Atdheut kush iu b therror. Prjet ai do t kujtohet Mbi dhe, nn dhe si nj shenjtor! --- ENGLISH TRANSLATION Around our flag we are united, With one will and one desire, A sacred oath are now proclaiming For our salvation to aspire. May only those avoid the struggle, Those who are traitors to our laws, Undaunted is a hero through and through, He dies a martyr to the cause. With weapons in our hands a-brandished, We will defend our fatherland, Our sacred rights well not relinquish, The foe has no place in our land. For God has told the world, proclaiming: The nations of the earth shall wane, And yet will live, will thrive Albania. For her our fight wont be in vain. O Flag, flag, you sacred symbol Upon you we now swear For Albania, our dear fatherland For honour and your praises Brave man is named and honoured The one who sacrificed himself for the fatherland Forever he will be remembered On earth and under as a saint!
