2006 Luiz Ejlli - Zjarr e ftohtë

The third Albanian entry for the ESC 2006 is chosen.
Luiz Ejlli's fairy tale looks so much a like Anjeza's.  He participated and
won the "Krasta
Show" and entered the Festivali i Kenges where he got the second place.
But one year
later he entered again, this time with a very strong ethnic song "Zjarr e
ftohte".  the
Albanian public and jury surrendered this time and gave him the first place.
Luiz Ejlli was 20 years old but that didn't make him unexperienced.
He had already the title as pop idol and winner of the Festivali 44. It was
time for him to
proof himself in front of the European audience. The song was sung  in
Albanian. Even
though, but failed to make it past the semi-final stage.

Zjarr e ftohtë

Humbem te" harroj
Mos m’i re"ndo me" dite"t
Gjithc,ka e"shte" e kot
S’e kuptoj.
Lodhem te" harroj
Me kohe"n vras kujtimet
Ne ne" zjarr jemi te ftohte"
Duhet te ike"sh, vritem
Shoh dhe me" verbon
Jemi ne" zjarr e ke"rkojme" ftohte"
E ne" rre"mbime jemi
Veten e frenoj
I trembem zemre"s time qe" te" do!

E ndihem
Zjarr e ftohte"
S’mundem dot
Shprese"n une" te ty e humba
Zeme"ro, me" ndihmo
Te" largohem se te" dua
Zjarr e ftohte"
Lodhem kot
Jam aty ne" buze"t e tua
Tretem aty
Se ky shpirti im te" ndjen

C,do gje" e"shte" e kot
Zemra ke"rkon te" gjej stacion
Tek ty ndalon
Se gjithe" mendimet e"nde"rrat
Vec, ne" ty jetojne"
Dua te" puth por s’mundem dot
Pa ty une" jete"n time
S’mundem ta kuptoj
I trembem zemre"s time qe" te" do
Fire, but still cold

I try to forget you
Don’t burden my days
Everything in vain
I can’t understand

Tired of forgetfulness
Time kills my memories
Fire but cold
Emotionally involved
Emotionally involved
Trying to restrain
Afraid of my heart
Still under pain

Fire,
But cold
It’s impossible
But I lost hope
Honey,
Help my love to leave
Fire, but cold
Tiredness can’t hold
Feeling your lips
Vanished it seems
‘Cause I still love you

Vain everything
Looking for a station
My heart stops at you
All my thoughts and dreams
Hope to come true,
Longed for kisses, but in vain
Can’t live without you
Afraid of my heart
Still beating for you
