ah sikur...

Nese do te kisha mundesi,
endrrat tona t’i realizoja,
sa te lumtur do te jetonim une dhe ti,
madje zjarrin per keto dy zemra,
perjetesisht do t’a siguroja.
Mendoj per ty dhe pyes veten;
Mos valle ajo kollovaret me ndjenjat e mia?
Shejtane thua se je;
Ure midis parajses dhe ferrit,
misterioze si djallushe,
e embel, plot ngrohtesi si engjellushe...

a prayer for all artists

God! Lover of all that you have created,

whose living spirit is in all,
batter down,
the defences of our minds and hearts,
so that surrendering to you,
we may be delivered from our imprisoning self-interests,
into the expanse of your kingdom...!
