Poems About Love In Albanian (Poezi Dashurie)
Reading poetry in Albanian can be both useful and difficult for language learners. On the one hand, the lyrical, rhyming nature of poetry can make Albanian words and phrases easier to remember.
On the other hand, the complex literary devices often used in poetry can make understanding the meaning of a poem quite challenging.
Despite the difficulties, we believe that reading poetry can be a great way to improve your Albanian language skills. And what better topic to start with than love?
Love is a universal topic that knows no language barriers, and Albanian poets have written some truly beautiful and moving poems about love in all its forms.
To help you get started, we’ve written three simple Albanian poems about love – two about romantic love, and one about the love a mother has for her child. Each poem comes with an English translation to help you understand the meanings of the Albanian words.
Dashuri e re – Young Love
| Sa shpejtë ikin vitet Ja katër kaluan Prej ditës së parë Kur në shkollë u takuam. Më buzëqeshe fshehurazi Dhe u nise për në klasë Më le duke ëndërruar Shumë muaj në gjimnaz. Por tani jemi bashkë Dhe ëdoherë do të dua Dhe do t’i çmoj përherë Buzëqeshjet e tua. |
The years go by so quickly Four have already passed Since the first day We met in school. You shyly smiled at me And you left for class You left me daydreaming For many years in high school. But we are together now And I will always love you And will forever cherish Your shy smiles. |
E shpreh dashurinë – Express my love
| Më prit se po vi Në zemër të të futem Ta shpreh dashurinë Mos më bëj të lutem. Ku zogjtë këndojnë Dhe lulet i prek flutura Do krijojmë atje Kujtimet e bukura. Fort njëri tjetrit Do shtrëngojmë duart Si fëmijët e vegjël Rrugën duke kaluar. |
Wait I’m on my way To enter your heart To express my love Don’t make me beg. Where the birds sing And the flowers are touched by the butterfly We will create Beautiful memories there. We will hold Each other’s hands tight Like small children Crossing the road. |
Vajzës sime – To my daughter
| Kujt i thonë dashuri? Pyesja veten unë Por tani e kam të qartë Qëkur në gjoksin tim të vunë. Dy sytë e bukur Akoma pa hapur Dora jote e vogël Gishtin tim ka kapur. Të dua sot e përgjithmonë Këtë ta premtoj Prej sot e tutje pa ty S’do mund të jetoj. |
What do they call love? I was asking myself But it is clear now Since you were put on my chest. Two beautiful eyes Not open yet Your little hand Holding my finger. I love you today and forever I promise you this From this day forward Without you I can’t live. |
