KAM NEVOJE
Shpirt pangopur, peng në kohë
Natën gjumin nuk e njoh
Endem nëpër shtigjet e vetmisë
Sytë më shohin bardhë e zi
Jam njeri e s'jam njeri
Zhytur thellë në baltën e lakmisë
Kam nevojë për pak muzikë
Ndenjën ta jetoj pa frikë
Të gjej paqe thellë në zemër
Te mbështetem tek një mik
Kam nevojë të them më fal
Të besoj në ideal
Të qesh, të qaj me mall
Kam nevojë të ndihem gjallë
Dashni
Kjo çmenduni e arsyetume
M'ka bo me lu me zjerm ma ka pru shpirtin n'maje hune
M'ka bo me dyshu n'veten
Urrejtja erdh e pa ftume
Jom munu me lartësu
me punë veten n'kët botë t'kufizume
I rrethum jom me shoqni
Që shohin vec sipërfaqen
vlersojnë vec sipërfaqen
E bojnë sikur t'vetknaqun
Kom nevojë mu çmu për ato që jom
Skom nevojë me ndrru për një opinion as me ndrru për kërkon'
Nevoja m'nxiti e une shpiki
M'nyra qysh me pa dritën midis eklipsi
Qysh me mujt me pa t'mirën n'diçka t'keqe
T'pa shpirtit m'i thirr n'ndërgjegje
Me dashni me fshi urrejtje
Pritëm se po bi
Bi si një stuhi përplotë me shi n'ër lot e mi veç unë e di sa thellësi ka m'rri shtrati i k'tij lumi që vërshon vështirësi po s'munet me m'përbi
Kom me kon ç'ai që noton kundër rrjedhës
qe vërshon me furi
Dhe kur të qëndroj ndoshta me zor në këmbë
Dhe kur gjithcka që ka mbetur është një këngë
Une do them krenar se jetova i lirë
Dhe kur gjethet të jenë zverdhur një mëngjes
Kur thesaret të veniten në harresë
Vec një emocion vlen njëmijë pasuri
Kam nevojë për pak muzikë
Ndenjën ta jetoj pa frikë
Të gjej paqe thellë në zemër
Te mbështetem tek një mik
Kam nevojë të them më fal
Të besoj në ideal
Të qesh, të qaj me mall
Kam nevojë të ndihem gjallë
Kom nevojë
Për një bisedë t'sinqertë mos mu paragjyku
për ato ça munet goja me nxjerr
Kom nevojë
me m'bo me besu që s'ki me m'keqkuptu
po ki me kon me mu, a je me mu?
Kom nevojë me taku njerëz që m'inspirojnë e m'bojnë
me besu qe besnikërinë s'e tradhtojnë
Kom nevojë k'saj egos teme me ja dhan një kuptim
Me besu që me kon i mirë n'jetë e ka një qellim
Hapin jo nuk e ndal, jo nuk e ndal, jo nuk e ndal
Kam nevojë më shumë se kurrë të ndihem gjallë
Kam nevojë për pak muzikë
Ndenjën ta jetoj pa frikë
Të gjej paqe thellë në zemër
Te mbështetem tek një mik
Kam nevojë të them më fal
Të besoj në ideal
Të qesh, të qaj me mall
Kam nevojë të ndihem gjallë
(Alban Skenderaj, Elinel)
I FEEL THE NEED
Greedy soul, a hostage of time
At night, I can’t recognize sleep
I wander on the paths of lonliness
My eyes are seing in black & white
I am human, yet not a human
Deep immersed in a mud of greed
I feel the need for some music
To experience this feeling without fear
To find peace deep in the heart
To lean on a friend
I feel the need to say I’m sorry
To believe in the ideal
To laugh, to cry with nostalgia
Have the need to feel alive
Love
This craziness made logical
Got me playing with fire,
exhausted my soul
Made me doubt in myself
Hate came uninvited
I have tried to raise above with work
in this world made of limits
I am sorrounded by friendships
That can only see the surface
They value only the facade
And they act self-satisfied
I feel the need of the apriciation for what I am
I don’t need to change for an opinion
and for no one
This need made me invent
The way to look at light through an eklipse
How to look at goodness through the badness
To recall the coshience of the souless
With love to erase the hate
Wait cause I’m falling
Like a storm full of rain, between my tears,
and I know how deep is this riverbed
of this river that releases but can’t drown
I will be the one to swim
against the flows of fury
And when I’ll find it difficult to stand
And all what’s left is in a song
I’ll be proud to say that I lived free
And when one morning the leafes will be yellow
When the treasures will spent in the memoriess
One true emotion, is worth thousands of fortunes
I feel the need for some music
To experience this feeling without fear
To find peace deep in the heart
To lean on a friend
I feel the need to say I’m sorry
To believe in the ideal
To laugh, to cry with nostalgia
Have the need to feel alive
I feel the need
For a deep talk,
to not feel prejudice for what a mouth can extract
I need for you to make me believe
that you will not misunderstand me,
but that you will be with me, are you with me?
I feel the need to meet people that inspire me
and make me believe that they don’t cheat the trust.
I feel the need to give my ego some understanding
To believe that in life, to be good, makes sense
I won’t stop my step, won’t stop, no won’t stop
I feel the need more than ever, to feel alive
I feel the need for some music
To experience this feeling without fear
To find peace deep in the heart
To lean on a friend
I feel the need to say I’m sorry
To believe in the ideal
To laugh, to cry with nostalgia
Have the need to feel alive
