didn’t let us fall
You were the dream come true
Kosovo is a magic land because of you
An enormous person, a heart full of love
You brought the peace as I white dove
You’re the father of Kosovo state
On your hands was the Kosovo fate
Your light will shine in endless night
You will lead Kosovo in a heaven sight
You did too much where you were here
In our hearts we know, you’re always near
You could never leave your Kosovo alone
You loved it too much. It was your precious home.
Dedication: symbol of independence Dr. Ibrahim Rugova
Think
Whenever you think life is
Unfair
Because the pain is so hard to throw
Away
Just think of those who wiped your
Tears
When you thought there was no one
Near
Think of those who stopped the rain
To make you fell no more
Pain
Think of those who have relieved your
Sorrow
And gave you hope for a better
Tomorrow
Think of those who moved the clouds
Away
And brought the sun forever to stay
Think of those who gave you their
Dreams
Even that we know life isn’t what it
Seems
So, don’t think the life as an unfair
Thing
Cause angels will cry and
Teardrops will overtake the sky
,,Time heals everything”
If a memory soon fades away
You stop and think how came this day
Nothing was how you meant and say
Now you know, nothing is here forever to stay
And as you look the album of your life
You see some pictures with a beautiful sight
You see also the days with storm and rain
You can’t figure out who you left behind the pain
,, Time heals everything”
You heard a lot of people to say
But you never wanted to believe it was this way
Now the dreams that has been stolen from you
Are coming back to become true.
But can you find out who brought again the light?
It was you and the strength of your heart
That never gave up but always stood up and fought
To my grandma
As I awake in the morning
Not even the light I see
You prepare and bring me the tea
You make ready the lunch
When I come back from school
Not to love you, can only a fool
You are to nice and lovely to me
Without you I don’t know how I could be
You sing for me at night
When I cannot sleep
When I’m tired you give me honey to eat
You fondle slowly my face
Than I feel full of grace
You give me your shoulder to rest
My Grandma you are the Best
I thank you a lot for your
Sweet and compassionate heart
From you I don’t ever to part
Unfaithful friend
It was so long time ago
When you walked out of that door
Since that moment I’ve been so hollow inside
Every day and night I had to fight
Fight with the darkness, fight with that black sight
But more with the memory that you’re not by my side
It’s a hard time and it’s wrong
My heart is bleeding but I look strong
Cause even it you fall in your knees
You’ll never have the chance to see my tears
Because if the world fall upon my head
I know you will never give me a hand
So, it’s better that you walked out of that door
Even that it hurts, you’re not worthwhile to fight for.
Untitled
Counting the stars in the night
Thinking of you and I
I miss your hug and your smile
Every time I see you I want to climb inside
Inside your soul and your heart
To be your other part
To take you with me and be together
So the sun will shine forever
The day will have no end
You’re my sun, I don’t have to pretend
You’re the breeze in the most beautiful day
That makes the flower beautiful in every way
You’re the voice of the bird
In the first day of spring
But I can’t lie this heart of my
That you someday will be my
Cause when I hear that voice so clear
The emptiness I feel it’s for me so unreal
I never knew it would be so sad
To miss someone whom you really never had
Unseen
Here I am, sitting close to the sea
The waves are shouting at me
I am lonely, how ever I could be?
You have chosen not to stay with me
I’m watching the sky, so lovely but blue
This rain in my heart it’s so painful and true
I look beyond the horizon, I’m lost and confuse
I am everything you have chosen to refuse
Now, I’m afraid the sun has gone away
It went to light your way
I miss the waves that now are whispering your name
The rock in which I’m standing it’s not anymore the same
The evening shadow blend with the indigo night
Only your eyes can bring me the light
You’re the moon that didn’t want to shine for me
I am all the colors you have chosen not to see
Why?
Why do we judge people for who they are not?
Why do we close our eyes?
By putting on them all the world
Dust
Why we don’t take away
That shadow of curse
And give people a better hope
To trust
Why are so many misunderstanding?
Why are people pretending?
To be someone who they are not
And of this kind are a lot
Why I always have to shut my mouth
By not being brave enough
Why I always have to become deaf
When someone speaks about an unseen thief
Because in my life they wouldn’t leave the light
And that would be too rough to fight
You cannot give what you do not have
Stop hurting me with your knife
I cannot stand anymore its strife
I cannot live another day
I cannot breathe or take it away
I cannot triumph in this fight
It’s an unending tunnel, it’s a black sight
It’s a cruel thing that heart of yours
It’s a home without open doors
And even that it’s big as the universe space
I cannot find there a place
I cannot see a smile on your face
You cannot give happiness and grace
You cannot see the light of a day
You live in darkness, you’ve chosen that way
You cannot feel the beauty of us all
You cannot fly on the sky, you will fall
And you cannot give love to us and them
Cause you cannot give what you do not have.
You say…
You say you never felt blue
But my heart sees it deep inside of you
You say you never felt grief
But you cannot lie to me, I would never believe
You say you never told lies
But I saw you doing it so many times
You say you’re stronger that us all
But it’s not true you always fall
You say you don’t know what means “pain”
But I know you learned it every time it rained
You say:” What does it mean to be lonely?”
“Don’t worry you’re going to learn it slowly.”
