THE LAMENT OF THE 21-CENTURY WOMAN
November will always bring back memories of
a woman with beautiful eyes, the one who got away
A woman, a mother, a daughter, a restless lady
Even in the twenty-first century
a great grief in her soul
locked deep within the soul
suffering from lack of freedom for an unrequited love,
for the self, there is no more delirium
Her wounded soul, forever silent
Alas, woman, the woman that enriches the world
Yet cannot reach her rights of freedom
Because of the unfaithful
the very companion of her bed
Alas, you woman chained in freedom,
Unfortunately, life toys with your faith, like a kid
Ah, even today in the twenty-first century
You woman, a servant of Satan
They do not wish to know your values
Thus, they play mercilessly with your fate
The one who shares your bed
Unfaithfully kills you, stains you.
The children are there, yet he takes away your life

That evil soul, that pig Ah, woman, they step on your dignity Beyond the limits of humanity You can find solace only in the Creator Where the mortal miseries fade away

Translation from Albanian to English Msc.Prof. Lyra Goga
