Albania 1976

Watched a program yesterday on Digi+ (Digitalb Tv) about Albania in 1976. Enver Hoxha was in Gjirokaster visiting his hometown, and everything in Albania was great! (according to the presenter - and my mother-in-law!)
Couldn't help feel sorry for the people cheering Enver Hoxha...as i remembered the words, "ti kete POPULL NE DRITE E QITE".


ALBANIA 1976
Small nation
Little time
Tiny ration
Enormous shadow
Great fear
Great want

And throughout the land
Shrieks and cries
Like owls in the night

SHQIPËRI 1976
Vend i vogël
Kohë e vogël
Rracion i vogël.

Errësirë e madhe
Frikë e madhe
Mjerim i madh.

Dhe rrugëve të atdheut
Si kukuvajka nën hënë
Leh e ulërin.
