Duje, si dikur ti duje,
At dashni ti ruje,
Si jeten, ti ruje
Mos e gjuj me gure,
Si dikur ti duje,
At dashni ti ruje,
Si jetën ti duje
Jan tu u nda
Veç për nje fjalë
Janë tu u nda, dashnin’ kanë vra
Janë tu u nda,
E kanë harru se kanë nje shpi
Sofër me fmi
Ti duje, si dikur ti duje,
At dashni ti ruje,
Si jetën, ti duje
Mos e gjuj me gure,
Si dikur ti duje,
At dashni ti ruje,
Si jetën ti duje
(Duje, duje)
Jan tu u nda
(Duje, duje)
Veç për nji fjalë
Janë tu u nda, dashnin’ kanë vra
(Duje,duje)
Janë tu u nda
(Duje, duje)
E kanë harru se kanë nje shpi
Sofër me fmi
(Duje, duje)
Something inside is holding my breath
I don't know what it is
I want to stop it
(What's happening)
Having everything
And having everything
But not being happy
They are breaking up
Just for a word
They are breaking up, they killed the love
They are breaking up,
They forgot they have a home
A table with kids...
Love her/him, like before
Save the love
Save it for your life
Don't hit it with stones
Love her/him like before
Save the love
Save it for your life
They are breaking up
Just for a word
They are breaking up, they killed the love
They are breaking up,
They forgot they have a home
A table with kids...
Love her/him, like before
Save the love
Save it for your life
Don't hit it with stones
Love her/him like before
Save the love
Save it for your life
(Love her/him)
They are breaking up
(Love her/him)
Just for a word
They are breaking up, they killed the love
(Love her/him)
They are breaking up
(Love her/him)
They forgot they have a home
A table with kids...
(Love her/him)
