Zemren E Lame Peng
Ora si zemër troket
Ora e çmendur rend, akrepa nuk ka
Kohën vodhe ti nga jeta ime
Bora e zerit tënd mbi zemrën time ra
Mbuloi strehën e fundit të dashurisë
Ha… ha…
Dhe ndalen akrepat atje
Ditë pas ditë, ne
Rrahje pas rrahje, më kot kerkuam
Orë e përkryer
Një zemër jo kurrë s’mund të jetë
Natë pas natë, ne
Rrahje pas rrahje, ne të larguar
Por jo, nuk mundëm
Se zemrën të dy e lamë peng
Ah… Ah…
Ora si zemër troket
Ora e çmendur rend, akrepa nuk ka
Kohën vodhe ti nga jeta ime
(Bora e zerit tënd) mbi zemrën time ra
Mbuloi strehën e fundit të dashurisë
Ha… ha…
Dhe ndalen akrepat atje
Ditë pas ditë, ne
Rrahje pas rrahje, më kot kerkuam
Orë e përkryer
Nje zemër jo kurrë s’mund të jetë
Natë pas natë, ne
Rrahje pas rrahje, ne të larguar
Por jo, nuk mundëm
Se zemrën të dy e lamë peng
Ha…
English version
We Put Our Hearts At Stake
The clock ticks like a heart
The clock runs crazy, it has no hands
You stole the time from my life
The coldness of your voice fell on my heart
Covering the last shelter of love
Ha… ha…
And the hands of time stop there
Day after day, we
Beat after beat, we looked in vain
For the perfect clock
Which a heart can never be
Night after night, we
Beat after beat, we grew apart
But no, we couldn’t
Because we both put our hearts at stake
Ah…
The clock ticks like a heart
The clock runs crazy, it has no hands
You stole the time from my life
( (The coldness of your voice) fell on my heart
Covering the last shelter of love
Ha… ha…
And the hands of time stop there
Day after day, we
Beat after beat, we looked in vain
For the perfect clock
Which a heart can never be
Night after night, we
Beat after beat, we grew apart
But no, we couldn’t
Because we both put our hearts at stake
Ha…

Yea I suppose this can be one of those songs that you need to listen to a few times to really like it. I thought it was ok after the first time I listened but it became better after a few more times. I liked it too..should have had a better place in the final than it got, it was definately better than Latvia, Bosnia, Spain etc.

It is a very nice song, though there were better songs in the competition, but I think she deserved the entrance to the final and a better place than the 17th.
I enjoyed it the most because I understood th lyrics. It was in my native tounge.
