"Feel the passion" Video & Lyrics

Can you feel the passion?

The time has come, we have our final version of our Eurovision Songcontest 2011 song "Feel the passion".
The video to the song was shot in various Albanian places, which belong to the most historical and touristical places Albania offers. Watch the videoclip below and read the english lyrics (once again first here on the web, gaps to be filled).
On tuesday we will replace the video on top with our new headers, bring you new polls, news and introduce you to new team members.

Lyrics (out of our understanding):

FEEL MY HEART,FEEL THE WORDS BEAT LOW
I SING MY SONG AND THE ECHO FLOWS
AND WHEREVER I GO,I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
YOU'RE THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS
AND THE LOVE IN MY SOUL

YOU ARE MY WAVE RIPPLING ON THE SEA

YOU DRY MY TEARS AND YOU MAKE ME REAL

BUT WHEREVER I GO, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

MY MOMENT IN TIME

OH SWEET SONG OF MINE

I'M LIKE AN EAGLE IN THE OPEN SKY

I NEVER LAND, I'M FLYING HIGH

LET ME SHARE MY SONG WITH YOU, JUST FEEL THE PASSION

LOVE'S THE MESSAGE SHINING THROUGH AND SHINED REACTION

IT BRINGS MY HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH AND THIS IS WHY

IT DRIVES ME MAD BUT IT GIVES ME LIFE

I'M FREE TO FLY

AND WHEN I FEEL THAT I THIRST FOR YOU

I DAB MY LIPS WITH YOUR MORNING DEW

BUT WHEREVER I GO, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

SWEET SONG, LIVE FOREVER
AND I LIVE WITH YOU

I'M LIKE AN EAGLE IN THE OPEN SKY

I NEVER LAND, I'M FLYING HIGH

LET ME SHARE MY SONG WITH YOU, JUST FEEL THE PASSION

LOVE'S THE MESSAGE SHINING THROUGH AND SHINED REACTION

IT BRINGS MY HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH AND THIS IS WHY

IT DRIVES ME MAD BUT IT GIVES ME LIFE

I'M FREE TO FLY

ZOT QE KËNGËN MA KE FAL MË LERË TË NDARË

NUK KA NGJYRË E NUK KA FJALË, MURET S'E MBAJNË

IT BRINGS MY HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH AND THIS IS WHY

IT DRIVES ME MAD BUT IT GIVES ME LIFE

I'M FREE TO FLY

First snippet of english lyrics

A few hours ago Aurela gave away at least some information about the new lyrics of the song to give us a first impression. Read the snippet below:

"FEEL MY HEART,FEEL THE WORDS BEAT LOW
I SING MY SONG AND THE ECHO FLOWS
AND WHEREVER I GO,I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
YOU'RE THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS
...AND THE LOVE IN MY SOUL"

As for the first impression the mood and atmosphere of the lyrics haven't changed into a complete new direction, the motif of "love for the music" is still kept and maybe even intensified in english.
These lyrics belong to one of the verses of the new english revamp "Feel the passion". The rest of the lyrics
(Refrain etc) are coming soon...

Xhejsi Jorgaqi - Rastësi (Lyrics+Translation)

 Xhejsi Jorgaqi had an imposing appearance at the Festivali i këngës 49 in December, finishing a sensational 4th place with the song "Rastësti", composed by Genti Lako. The lyricist is Jorgo Papingji, who also wrote the lyrics to Dorina Garuci's song for 2010 and Anjeza Shahini's "Në pasqyre", which came second in 2009. Below you can read the songtext and translation of the song. At this place a great thank you to Evelina, our newest AV-team member, for the great help.

Xhejsi Jorgaqi - Rastësi

Krejt nga rastësia, ndodhi mrekullia
zot, nuk e besoj as vet
ishte ëndërr apo e vërtetë
jo nuk mund ta dija
kur ndodh rastësia
ndoshta nuk besohet lehtë
nga një rastësi të ndryshojë një jetë

Por kur doli ëndrra, gati sa s'u çmënda
ti rastësi ndoshta emrin e ke
por nuk do takojmë kur do duam ne

Kurrë nuk e ke ditur
sa të kemi pritur
por si gjithëmonë ti vetëm luan dhe genjen
pse nuk vjen, pse nuk vjen

Nuk e di pse inat me ke marrë
Emrin si e ke? (Rastësia)
Ndryshe thua sot ndryshe më the dje
mos luaj me ne 2x

Zemërimi është një rastësi
dhe zbulimi është një rastësi
dhe zhgenjimi është një rastësi
dhe pendimi është një rastësi
simpatia është një rastësi
xhelozia është një rastësi
befasia është një rastësi
lumturia mbetet përgjithënjë

Rastësi është jeta
lum kush thotë e gjeta
vjen si bekim apo mallkim për ne
pa e ditur vjen pa pritur

Kurrë nuk e ke ditur
sa të kemi pritur
por si gjithëmonë ti vetëm luan dhe genjen
pse nuk vjen, pse nuk vjen

Nuk e di pse inat më ke marrë
Emrin si e ke? (Rastësia)
Ndryshe thua sot, ndryshe më the dje
mos luaj me ne (hou) 2x

(Rastësia)

Zemërimi është një rastësi
dhe zbulimi është një rastësi
dhe zhgenjimi është një rastësi
dhe pendimi është një rastësi
simpatia është një rastësi
xhelozia është një rastësi (rastësia)
befasia është një rastësi
lumturia mbetet përgjithënjë

Si gjithëmonë
vjen si bekim a mallkim për ne
pa e ditur vjen papritur (eehh)

Ëndrra, mendime, zhgënjime do kemi ne në jetë (në jetë)
Befasi, lumturi, rastësi jemi vetë!

Coincidence 

Completely by chance the miracle occured

God, I don't believe it myself

Was it a dream or reality?

No, one can't foresee

when the coincidence occurs.

Maybe it ain't easy to believe

That a coincidence can change a life.

But when the dream turned out* I almost went insane 

Your name may be coincidence

but we'll never meet when we want to.

You never knew

How much we've been waiting for you

But as usual you only play and lie

Why don't you come, why don't you come?

I don't know why you hold a grudge against me

What's your name? (Coincidence)

Today you say something different to what you said yesterday

Don't play with us (Coincidence)

I don't know why you hold a grudge against me

What's your name? (Coincidence)

Today you say something different to what you said yesterday

Don't play with us

Anger is a coincidence

And discovery is a coincidence

And dissapointment is a coincidence

And regret is a coincidence

Sympathy is a coincidence

Jealousy is a coincidence

Surprise is a coincidence,

Happiness remains forever!

Coincidence is the life

Blessed (the ones) who say: I found it.

Comes as a blessing or a curse to us

Without knowing, it comes unexpected.

You never knew

How much we've been waiting for you

But as usual you only play and lie

Why don't you come, why don't you come?

I don't know why you hold a grudge against me

What's your name? (Coincidence)

Today you say something different to what you said yesterday

Don't play with us (Coincidence)

I don't know why you hold a grudge against me

What's your name? (Coincidence)

Today you say something different to what you said yesterday

Don't play with us (hoh)

(Coincidence)

Anger is a coincidence

And discovery is a coincidence

And dissapointment is a coincidence

And regret is a coincidence

Sympathy is a coincidence

Jealousy is a coincidence (Coincidence)

Surprise is a coincidence

Happiness remains forever!

As always 

it comes as a blessing or a curse for us

Without knowing, it comes unexpected (eehh)

Dreams, thoughts, dissapointments we'll have in life (in life)

The surprises, happiness, coincidences we are ourselves!

*awakening from the dream/ dream became true

Maria Prifti - Pasuri e pasurive

Maria Prifti has made her solo debut at the Festivali i këngës this year, singing in the "Newcomer" category with a song composed by Frederik Ndoci (ESC '07). She easily reached the final with this powerful ballad, ended on position 14 in the final though, unfortunately. Below you can read the lyrics and our translation to the song.

Maria Prifti - Pasuri e pasurive


Më dorë të mundja kohën t'ndal
bëj në çastin e madhë sa një jetë
Miliona puthje t'i fal, prap nuk ngopem
s'qenka e lehtë

Dashuroj, se unë me shpirt e ndjej
Po s'na del jeta, të gjithë e dimë.
E fal vet vetën, veç mos ta humb dashurinë
oh zot

Njëherë në jetë ajo troket në zemra
është më e bukur sesa vetë ëndrra
e flet me gjuhën e perëndive
mbetet pasuri e pasurive
__________________________________________________________

English translation by AlbaVision

(italics / * = infos for better understanding)

Wealth of all wealth

If I could stop the time with my hands
I would do it in a moment as great as a life.
I'd give you a million kisses and still not be satisfied
It's not that easy

I love, because I feel it with my soul
But life is not enough, we all know it.
I give myself up, just not to loose the love
oh god

Once in a lifetime it strikes the heart
It's even more beautiful than dreams*
And talks with the language of the Gods
it remains the wealthiest of all wealths.

*it says "it's more beautiful than even the dream", but the english plural "dreams" fits better to the feeling expressed with "ëndrra"

AV-Translation "Sa e shite zemrën"

Requested by an AV-reader in the comment section here our translation of Juliana Pasha's and Luiz Ejlli's hit "Sa e shite zemrën", the song that won the first prize in the big music event "Kënga Magjike" in Albania.

Juliana Pasha & Luiz Ejlli - Sa e shite Zemrën



Albanian Lyrics from Juliana Pasha's official facebook page
__________________________________________________________
Po ta le ty rradhen qe ta puthesh friken

ose mbyllim te dy syte,dhe njeri iken

Merri ti me vete fjalet dhe muziken

Se te gjitha kenget kane shtate nota

Por ajo qe mbeti,si nje kujtim

Eshte ky motiv aaaa

                      ***

Jo nuk ka gjithmone vetem dite me shi

Ka edhe dite me diell kur nuk je me ti

Kush shpeton I gjalle behet me I forte tani

Arratisja jote me befasoj,koha ty sekretin do ta zbuloj

Sa e shite zemren une se di

                      ***

Pse e humbe sensin,ku tu err drejtimi

Nje avion mbi re nuk bie ne dite dimri

As apeli fundit  nuk ta ndali ritmin

Se ti kishe kohen per te ikur

Por  pa  dashuri  sdo jesh me asgje

Nje grusht hi,aaaa

                   ***

Jo nuk ka gjithmone vetem dite me shi

Ka edhe dite me diell kur nuk je me ti

Kush shpeton I gjalle behet me I forte tani

Arratisja jote me befasoj,koha ty sekretin do ta zbuloj

Sa e shite zemren une se di

Nuk kam se si ta di,sa e shite zemren,zemer

Koha do ta thote, nje dite

                        ***

Arratisja jote me befasoj, koha ty sekretin do ta zbuloj

Sa e shite zemren une se di

Se di, se di, se di, nuk ka mundesi ,se di

pse zemren shite ti

                      ***

Jo nuk ka gjithmone vetem dite me shi

Ka edhe dite me diell kur nuk je me ti

Kush shpeton i gjalle behet me i forte tani

Arratisja jote ,me befasoje

Koha ty sekretin do ta zbuloj

Sa e shite zemren une se di

__________________________________________________________

Albavision translation into english

I let it be your turn to kiss the fear

or we both close our eyes, and noone disappeard

Take the words and music with you.

Because all song have of 7 notes,

but the one song that stays as a memory

is this motif. 

Refrain

No there are not only rainy days

There are also sunny days when you're not anymore (here)

Who survives, is stronger afterwards (What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger)

That you ran away surprised me, time will reveal your secret

How much did you sell your heart I don't know

Why did you loose you sense of direction, that you went on dark paths.

A plane does not fly through clouds on winter days.

Not even the last appeal stopped your rhythm

because it was time for you to run away

but without love, you won't be anything anymore

a handful of ash

Refrain

There's no way I could know,
how much did you sell your heart, my heart/darling

Time will tell, one day

That you ran away surprised me, time will reveal your secret

How much did you sell your heart I don't know

Don't know, don't know, don't know, it's not possible, I don't know

why did you sell your heart.

Refrain

Marsida Saraçi - Vetëm s'jemi në botë

Sa i madh është ky det
madhështinë e humbet
kur ti je aty
asnjeri s'e kupton
kush më shumë kalteron
deti apo ti

Çdo ditë zemra më thotë
sa e vogël kjo botë
do të ish pa ty
ndryshe muajt e stinë
ndryshe ditët që vijnë
pa ty ç'ta bëja unë rini

Refrain
Vetëm s'jemi në botë
Vetëm s'jemi, të plotë
Vetëm nuk rrojmë dot në këtë jetë
Ti më fal dashuri
Ti më fal lumturi
Ti më bën njeri të vertet

Festivali version:
po të mos jesh ti në këtë jetë
ëndrrat s'bëhën realitet
dashuria jo sot ishe e vertet.

Studio version:
Oh, të mos ishim ne të dy
ti tek unë e unë tek ty
dashuria jo sot ishte historia
article to be finished tmrw

English translation by AlbaVision

(italics = studio version)

We're not alone in the world

How great the sea is
It looses it's magnificance
when you are there.
Nobody understands
who is bluer
the sea or you

Everyday my heart tells me
how small this world
would be without you.
different, he months and seasons,
different, the days to come
without you, what would I do in this young life 

Refrain
We're not alone in this world.
We're not alone, (but) so many.
We're not living alone in this life.
You give me love.
You give me joy.
You make me a real human .

Festivali version:
But if you were not in this life
dreams would not become true.
Love today would not have been real.

Studio version:
But if we two we're not here,
You with me and me with you,
Love would be history today.

AlbaVision version of the lyrics: 

Kënga ime

Zemër ti, mos më ler pa fjale
dua t'ia them e dua t'ia marrë
sa herë vij edhe shkoj
si frymë të kerkoj
në gjak më je futur, pa ty s'mund të rroj

Më bëhesh det e më bëhesh valë
Më tharë një lotë edhe më ndez një mall
sa herë vij edhe shkoj
si frymë të kerkoj
në gjak të kam, kënga ime, moj (eheheej)

E të pasur jam, se ty të kam
nuk jam në tokë e asgjë s'më ndal

Refrain
Zot, që këngën ma ke falë
Më lerë të ndarë
Nuk ka ngjyrë e nuk ka fjalë
Muret s'e mbajnë
Tokën e qiellin e bënë bashkë
Harron e fal
Oh se më theh e më bën gjall
Asgjë s'më ndal (eheheej)

Sa herë për ty etja të më marr
do vij, do të pi
e buzën do ta lag
sa herë vij edhe shkoj
si frymë të kerkoj
jeton ti edhe un jetoj (eheheheej)

E pasur jam, se ty të kam
nuk jam në tokë e asgjë s'më ndal

Refrain 2x

(italics = explanations for better understanding)

My song 

My heart, don't leave me without words
I want to tell them the words and take them their words (leave them [=people] speechless)
Everytime i come and go
I look out for you like for breath (gasp for breath)
You passed into my blood, without you I cannot live.

You become the sea and the waves for me
You dry me a tear and arouse a longing in me.
Everytime i come and go
I look out for you like for breath (gasp for breath)
I've got you in my blood, my song (eheheej)

And I'm rich, because I have you.
I'm not on earth (/on the ground) and nothing can stop me.

Refrain:
God, (you) who have given me the song
Let me share it
It has no colour and no word
Walls cannot hold it.
You make the earth and the sky one
You forgive and forget
Oh, because you me break and make me alive
Nothing stops me (eheheej)

Whenever the thirst for you overcomes me
I'll come, I'll drink you
and I will make wet your lips
Everytime i come and go
I look out for you like for breath (gasp for breath)
You live and I live, too. (eheheej)


And I'm rich, because I have you.
I'm not on earth (/on the ground) and nothing can stop me

Refrain 2x

Lyrics for Besa's "E bukura dhe bisha"

One of the big favourites to win FiK this year, Besa Kokëdhima, has released the lyrics of her song E bukura dhe bisha on Facebook today. Besa will perform in the second semi final, as number 2. You can read our profile of Besa HERE.

Verse 1:
Ti, do durosh dhe pak?
Jepja ditët, bishës prapë, por mos qaj
Qesh, a ndihesh e gjallë?
Mbi mavi, ylberin zbraz, pendim nuk ka

Një fëmijë po të lut dhe një vajzë të kërkon
Loti u struk, mishi u rrudh dhe e sotmja t’harroi
Të shpëtosh, ke një derë por ti dot s’e arrin
Se je e mpirë

Refrain 1:
Dashuri nuk ka, dashuri do
Ai shkel mbi plagë, ti i ledhaton
A vlen jeta, kur ti e mohon?
A mos ke faj dhe ti?
Pranon të rrish në frikë?

Refrain 2:
Dashuri nuk ka, dashuri do
Ai shkel mbi plagë, ti I ledhaton
A vlen shpirti, kur nuk e dëgjon
S’e di përse, përse
Me terrin ne shtrat fle

Verse 2:
Nën kuvertë, endrra thurr, kur ai nuk te sheh
Dita nis, dielli del, iluzionin rigjen
Nje unazë, një portret, një betim të mbërthen
Kthim mbrapa s’ke

Syri s’sheh, trupi dhemb, fjala veshin lëndon
Një ditë vjen, një ditë shkon, frika heshtjen pushton
Pak durim, edhe pak, derisa vdekja t’ju ndajë,
E lirë në varr...

Se di përse, përse
Ti forcën dot nuk gjen...

E fal vet vehten – gjithshka e bëj
Veç mos t’a humb Zot dashurinë.

Kamela Islami

Verse 1:

Larg

Më mirë, të jemi larg

Më mirë të jemi, vetëm

Jo s’e dëgjoj më, unë zemrën

Qaj

Jo asnjë lot, nuk mbaj

Se ty, të fala dhe frymën

Për ty, e solla dritën

Ura

Kërkoja dashuri në një vend të shkretë

Një zemër pa ngjyrë, e di, nuk ka jetë

Refrain:

Pa fjalë

Unë po shkoj

Jemi të vetmuar

Dhe pse të përqafuar

Një fjalë

Nuk të ndihmon

Asgjë për tu kujtuar

Gjithmonë ti ke munguar....Po...

Verse 2:

Faj

Më thuaj, pse kam faj?

Se për të dy, unë jetoja

Se fatin e sfidoja, yeahh

Të dukem kryelartë

Të dukem njëri tjetër

Sot po mendoj unë për veten

(Refrain)

Faj

Më thuaj, pse kam faj?

Se për të dy, unë jetoja

Se fatin e sfidoja, yeahh

Të dukem kryelartë

Të dukem njëri tjetër

Sot po mendoj unë për veten.

Albavision translation into English 

Far away

It's better to be far away from each other

It's better to be alone

No, i don't hear (my/your) heart anymore

I cry

No, I don't hold back not a single tear

Because I even gave you my breath

For you I brought light

Bridge

Looking for love in the wilderness

A heart without colour, I know, has got no life.

Refrain:

Without words

I'm leaving

We are lonely

even though we embraced

Words

don't help you

Nothing to remember

You have always been missing... yes...

Fault

Tell me, why is it my fault?

Because I lived for both of us

Because I challenged fate, yeahh

To you I look big-headed

That's how we think of each other

Today I'm thinking about myself.
