Music from Albania
Oh Arberi
(During the Middle Ages, the Albanians called their country Arbëri or Arbëni and referred to themselves as Arbëresh or Arbnesh)
At the shore seagulls speed flying
like our song full of yearn
we sing with love from afar
oh Arberia
Our ancestors left you in sorrow
how long gone without seeing you
but today you are like a flower
oh Albania
Waves of the sea foam full of eddies
together with friends at the shore we came
for how much yearn we have, the sea has no waves
oh you Beautiful Arberia
we gaze from afar and on you contemplate
oh Beautiful Albania
The branches dance, you a root farther apart
among the waves of storms
so many years forlorn
but your branches never withering
oh Arberia
This song of ours, for you always
haunts us like a fire at the bosom
at your hearth we are forever
