Blessed Kruja, from above,
be in wait for Skanderbeg!
He is coming like a dove
to save our Motherland.
All Albanians he will save
He’ll cut off their Turkish yoke
he will honor you as brave,
Seat of the Albanian folk.
For there were Albanian brave,
that had never fear in eyes,
heart of fire will outbrave,
he’s a man and very wise.
Welcome, welcome dear Summer
that brought us goodness, so grand,
and for many years and further
beautify Albanian land!…
O Albanian lass, my dear,
that in thought you sit and stay,
clothes of morn you now tear,
a blessed day arrived today.
Fields and mountains glowed on top,
Of the bravery arms upswing,
the horse neighs, gallop can’t stop,
bringing the Albanian king.
