Albania

[Intro] From the mountains to the sea, under the eagle's wing, We're singing of Albania, where our voices ring. [Verse 1] Nestled by the Adriatic, near the Ionian shore, Tirana stands our capital, at Albania's core. From the ancient Illyrians, to proud Skanderbeg's stand, In this land of legends, carved by time's gentle hand. [Pre-Chorus] Where the lakes of Shkodër shimmer and the Vjosa rivers flow, The land of the brave and free, with stories untold. [Chorus] Oh Albania, with your mountains high, From the peaks of the Accursed to the clear blue sky. In the heart of the Balkans, we've a song to be sung, Albania, oh Albania, where the eagle flies young. [Verse 2] Under the Berat castle, the white houses glow, The streets of Gjirokastër, where ancient stories flow. With byrek on our tables and rakia in cheer, We're a nation of hospitality, with history near. [Chorus] Oh Albania, with your mountains high, From the peaks of the Accursed to the clear blue sky. In the heart of the Balkans, we've a song to be sung, Albania, oh Albania, where the eagle flies young. [Bridge] From the shores of Durrës, to the heights of Korçë, The sounds of our çifteli, entwined with lore. Languages of love—Albanian we speak, In our songs and dances, the future we seek. [Final Chorus] Oh Albania, with your mountains high, From the peaks of the Accursed to the clear blue sky. In the heart of the Balkans, we've a song to be sung, Albania, oh Albania, where the eagle flies young. [Outro] Oh, the land of the eagle, cradle of dreams, From Tirana's bright lights, to the flowing streams. Albania, forever, in our hearts you'll be, An eternal spirit, in the land of the free.
