Ʒivutrenqo khelipenMa ʒangaven e khamnǎ daja
kana isi suti –
Andre laθe sito moro evlàdi.
Ma ruminen e ʒivutrenqo khelipen –
Lençar amalisardǒla moro ćhavo.
Ma mudaren e rićhines ʒikaj rikhal –
Moro ćhavo sito phagindoj
lesqe kòkala.
Ma prastan pal-e veśesqo ruv
an-o prastapen –
Moro ćhavo oles kiśtel
Ma phanden mere ćhavesqo drom,
Kana vov ka inardǒl khere
Olesqo inaripe isi le tate maresqo gunʒ
Pedral amari sòfra.
Lojë bishashMos e zgjoni nënën shtatzënë
gjersa fle –
Brenda saj prehet evladi im.
Mos ua prishni lojën bishave –
Me ta shoqërohet djali im.
Mos e mbytni ariun gjersa gjëmon –
Djali im eshtrat është
duke ia thyer.
Mos e ndiqni ujkun e malit
në vrapim –
Djali im e kalëron atë.
Mos ia mbyllni rrugët djalit tim,
Kur të jetë nisur për në shtëpi.
Kthimi i tij e ka shijen e bukës së pjekur
Mbi sofrën tonë.
A game of beastsDon’t wake the pregnant mother from her sleep
My child lies inside her.
Don’t spoil the game of the beasts
My son hangs around with them.
Don’t kill the bear while he moans-
My son is breaking his bones.
Don’t follow the mountain wolf running-
My son rides him.
Don’t block the ways of my son,
When he sets off for home.
His return has the taste of the baled bread
On our table.
MothovenMothoven sar thavdel amari len:
Sar o Gang,
Sar o Lumbardhi?
Mothoven sar giladǒla amari gili.
Sar tal-o Himalaje,
Sar tal-o Śàrri.
Mothoven vaś-o pherdo ćhon,
Biagorime horizontǎ,
Ćhajenqe milionǎ-rangenqe còxe.
Mothoven sar thablǒla amari jag
Herdelezesqi jag
E gilǎça “Sa o rroma daj!e”
Oh, mothoven manqe...
Më tregoniMë tregoni si rrjedh lumi ynë:
Si Gangu,
Si Lumbardhi?
Më tregoni si këndohet kënga jonë.
Si nën Himalaje,
Si nën Sharr.
Më tregoni për hënën e plotë,
Horizontet e pafundme,
Fustanet miliona ngjyrëshe të vashave
Më tregoni si ndizet zjarri ynë,
Zjarri i Hederlezit
Me këngën “Sa o roma daj!e”
Oh, më tregoni...
