Special thanks to my Bukuri aka Dadhuri aka Ela aka Emanuella. There is a version she shared with Sidrit Bejleri and some kids that takes me back to music parties back home.
The song tells the story of a young person who has fallen in love and is thinking about getting engaged to someone from Ulqin (Ulcinj, a coastal town in Montenegro with a strong Albanian heritage). The singer admires the person’s beauty and expresses longing and affection, but there is a complication: the singer’s mother does not approve of the match.
E hej, m’ka shku’ menja me u feju-e
E me marr nji ulqinajkë.
Aman ulqinajken s’ma don nana
Se m’ka zanë i ziu marak!
E hej, kur m’a ven bohçen e kuqe
Na myte me bukuri.
Oh, asaman moj buzëburbuqe
A s’ma falë synin e zi?!
E hej, si do t’jetë kjo puna verit
Edhe deti çon tallas.
Oh, mos ja prish qefin beqarit
Se na mushe me maraz!
Hey, I’m going to get engaged
And get me a girl from Ulcinj.
My mother doesn’t want Ulcinj
Because I’m a black Marrakesh!
Hey, when you put on my red dress
You’ll be so beautiful.
Oh, my sweet, bubbly face
Don’t you forgive me for my black eyes?!
Hey, how will this work be in the summer
Even the sea makes me laugh.
Oh, don’t ruin the bachelor’s shroud
Because you’ve made us sick!
Hey folks, it’s Paras!
