Lyrics & Quote

ALBANIAN

Për Perëndinë! Ky është ai i Ri, bukuria e të Cilit është dëshira e zjarrtë e Tubimit qiellor. Ngazëllehuni! Ky është i Riu i pavdekshëm, i ardhur me një kauzë të fuqishme.

i Bab

By God! This is that Youth Whose beauty is the ardent desire of the celestial Concourse. Rejoice! This is the immortal Youth, come with a mighty cause.
