Ora si zemër troket
Ora e çmendur rend
Akrepa nuk ka
Kohën vodhe ti nga jeta ime

Bora e zërit tënd
Mbi zemrën time ra
Mbuloi,Strehën e fundit, Të dashurisë

Dhe ndalen akrepat atje

Ditë pas dite ne
Rrahje pas rrahje
Më kot kërkuam
Or’ e përkryer, Një zemër jo kurrë s’mund të jetë
Natë pas nate ne
Rrahje pas rrahje
Ne të larguar
Por jo nuk mundëm
Se zemrën të dy e lame peng

Ora si zemër troket
Ora e çmendur rend
Akrepa nuk ka
Kohën vodhe ti nga jeta ime

Bora e zërit tënd
Mbi zemrën time ra
Mbuloi, Strehën e fundit, Të dashurisë

Dhe ndalen akrepat atje

Ditë pas dite ne
Rrahje pas rrahje
Më kot kërkuam
Or’ e përkryer, Një zemër jo kurrë s’mund të jetë
Natë pas nate ne
Rrahje pas rrahje
Ne të larguar
Por jo nuk mundëm
Se zemrën të dy e lame peng

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…
