The Albanian national football team played a few days ago in “Air Albania” the last challenge in its group in the League of Nations in front of Iceland, tying with the result 1 to 1.
But apart from the beautiful match that the Albanian national team played, the attention was stolen red and black fans.
After Ermir Lenjani scored the first goal in the 35th minute, the whole stadium erupted in celebration and all the fans started to sing the song “Shqipe”, by the well-known singer from Kosovo, Artan Avdyli, who is known in public by the name of the “2Ton” art.
Below you have the verses of the inspirational song of the chorus of the song that was chosen by the Albanian fans to give more heart to the Albanian players.
“Shqipe deri n’dhe
shqipe deri n’dhe
qdo shpi n’TT
qdo shpi en TT
e din qysh kerset
si gjakun me na nxeh
e din qysh kerset
si gjakun me na nxeh”
The chorus of this song is based on popular and folkloric songs that were sung mainly in the northern area of Kosovo.
This very meaningful text not only for the Albanians of Kosovo but for all Albanian-speaking countries, the artist Artan Avdyli re-created it in a very masterly form and liked by both art critics and music lovers.
It is not for nothing that this song is coming back as the second national anthem and is constantly sung at parties, cultural and sports activities where Albanians participate.
This song, according to art critics, has skillfully adapted the music and the text, bringing a really beautiful song. The well-known singer from Kosovo, Artan Avdyli, enjoys great popularity throughout the Albanian-speaking territories.
He is known as an artist of great value, and an exceptional contribution to modern and traditional-patriotic music.
This artist has a portfolio of about 130 songs, most of which are projects based on traditional Albanian folk music.
