History

change

The Albanian national anthem was first published as a poem in an Albanian newspaper in Sofia, Bulgaria, on 21 April 1912. It was later printed in a volume of poems by Drenova, which was published in Bucharest, Romania. The music of the anthem was composed by the Romanian composer Ciprian Porumbescu, as he wanted to compose an anthem for socialist Romania, but was rejected.[1][3]

Rreth flamurit të përbashkuar
Me një dëshir' e një qëllim,
Të gjith' atij duke u betuar
Të lidhim besën për shpëtim.
𝄆 Prej lufte veç ai largohet
Që është lindur tradhëtor,
Kush është burrë nuk frigohet,
Po vdes, po vdes si një dëshmor! 𝄇

Në dorë armët do t'i mbajmë,
Të mbrojmë atdheun në çdo kënd,
Të drejtat tona ne s'i ndajmë;
Këtu armiqtë s'kanë vend!
𝄆 Se Zoti vetë e tha me gojë
Që kombe shuhen përmbi dhe,
Po Shqipëria do të rrojë;
Për të, për të luftojmë ne! 𝄇

O Flamur, flamur, shenj' e shenjtë
Tek ti betohemi këtu
Për Shqipërin' atdheun e shtrenjtë,
Për nder' edhe lavdimn e tu.
𝄆 Trim burrë quhet dhe nderohet
Atdheut kush iu bë therror.
Përjetë ai do të kujtohet
Mbi dhe, nën dhe si një shenjtor! 𝄇

Around our flag we stand united,
With one wish and one intention.
A sacred oath upon it we accord,
Faith for our pardon we blazon.
𝄆 From battle only he abstaineth,
For who is born a traitor.
He who a true man frighten'd not,
But to the cause dieth a warrior. 𝄇

With weapons in our hands aflash'd,
Our motherland we shall defend.
Our sacred rights we shall cede not,
On our land the foe hath a place not.
𝄆 For God himself proclaim'd:
Some nations of the earth will end,
And yet Albania will live and succeed.
For her, for her we shall defend. 𝄇

O Banner, banner, thou symbol hallow'd
Upon thee we now swear.
For Albania, our dear motherland,
For thy glory and honour.
𝄆 Brave man nam'd and honour'd,
The one who died for the motherland.
Forever shall he be remember'd
On and under earth as a saint! 𝄇
