2004 Anjeza Shahini - The image of you
The first Albanian entry for the ESC 2004 is chosen.
She had the talent, but she was lucky too. Anjeza, every time she got on
stage enchanted to a princess. She is born and grown, in one of the
quarters of Tirana. The fairy tale started already the year before, when she
heard on the news about a show that was going to find the beautiful
voices. The name of the show was "The Friday night fever
and Krasta show" (Ethet e se premtes mbrema dhe Krasta show). The
show was hosted indeed from Adi Krasta, the whom with this program
went close to the dreams of the teens.Without living much time to the
young artist to think, it was necessary to start a jury with
music specialists like Alfred Kacinari, Zhani Ciko, Shpetim Saraci and
others to decide if it was okay for her to continue the way into the music.
After not so long, Anjeza wore the magic shoe of a big singer. The fairy tale
ended here. She came as a child at the show and then managed to win at
the festival. It was the song "Dua te jem imazhi yt" (The image of you), with
lyrics of Agim Doci and the music of Edmond Zhulali who gave Anjeza
the victory of the 42.nd edition of the Festival of Song on the Albanian
Public Radio and Television.That is how Anjeza got to be the first the first
performer for Albania on the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest. With a
song that was cut of almost a minute and half off and a English
make-over, she managed to do quite well, as she became 4.th on the
semifinal night and then as number 7 with 106 points in the finals

Imazhi yt
Kur vjen ne shpirt nje dashuri
Sa e cuditcme duket vetja
E ndjehesh krejt tjeter njeri
E sa e shtrenjte te duket jeta
E ndjehesh tjeter njeri
E shtrenjte te duket jeta
Kjo ndjenje si nje magji
Sa larg nga e verteta, aha...
Kaloj ne rruge shpesh e hutuar
Me shikojne dy hapa larg
Si cdo njeri i dashuruar
Ne sy mbaj vec nje imazh
Me puth sa here kerkoj
E ndjej ne cast nje mall
I mbyll dy syte harroj
Jam mbretereshe si ne perralle
Dua te behem paksa e krisur
Dua te behem me lot ne sy
Dua a te behem e gjum i prishur
Dua te behem imazhi yt
Me puth sa here kerkoj
E ndjej ne cast nje mall
I mbyll dy syte harroj
Jam mbretereshe si ne perralle
E ndjehesh tjeter njeri
E shtrenjte te duket jeta
E ndjehesh tjeter njeri
E shtrenjte te duket jeta
The image of you
How strange the feeling in your soul
When love invades your very being
Another “me” or so I’m told
And life takes on another meaning.
Day after day, I go through the
motions,
Stumbling my way, life is a blur
Slave of my love, of my emotions
You’re in my eyes, you’re in my heart
One kiss, one heartbeat, in time,
a kiss, the moment, is mine.
I close my eyes, I breathe
I’m Queen of the world of Make
Believe!!
You make me feel, a little crazy
You make me see your tears are true
You make my days and nights so
hazy,
You make me feel the image of you.
Choir: You make me feel
Soloist: a little crazy
Choir: You make me see
Soloist: Your tears are true
Choir: You make me feel
Soloist: Image of you
I know it’s just a dream
I feel, l love, this life
