Albanian boys, are you listening?
My mother calls you in a low voice
Let's not add her tears to it, and
To reconcile, let's hold hands tightly
Catholic and Muslim, oh
Oh, we are brothers, we have a mother

Let's not add her tears to it, and

Catholic and Muslim, oh
Oh, we are brothers, we have a mother
