[Verse 1]

Nga Zvicra erdhi Elirjeta,

Elirjeta came from Switzerland,

Me mall në zemër, me plot dashni,

With longing in her heart, with much love,

Pa i treguar askujt asgjë,

Without telling anyone anything,

Donte nënën ta përqafonte përsëri.

She wanted to hug her mother again.

Sa e lumtur ishte ajo ditë,

How happy that day was,

Kur vajza në derë iu shfaq,

When the daughter appeared at the door,

Nëna s'e dinte se ky takim,

The mother didn't know that this meeting,

Do të bëhej kujtim që zemrën ia vrau.

Would become a memory that broke her heart.

[Refreni] · Chorus

O nënë, pse ike kaq shpejt,

Oh mother, why did you leave so soon,

Pse na le me lot në sy?

Why did you leave us with tears in our eyes?

Elirjeta erdhi nga larg,

Elirjeta came from afar,

Veç edhe një herë me të përqafu.

Just to hug you one more time.

Shtatë ditë zgjati lumturia,

Seven days lasted the happiness,

Pastaj erdhi dhimbja e zezë,

Then came the black pain,

Surpriza u kthye në lamtumirë,

The surprise turned into a farewell,

E në zemër mbeti plagë pa shërim.

And in the heart remained an unhealed wound.

[Strofa 2] · Verse 2

Vetëm shtatë ditë kaluan,

Only seven days passed,

Dhe sëmundja rëndë të goditi,

And illness struck you hard,

Elirjeta pranë teje qëndroi,

Elirjeta stayed by your side,

Por as loti s'të ktheu në jetë.

But not even tears brought you back to life.

Sa shumë fjalë mbetën pa u thënë,

How many words remained unsaid,

Sa përqafime mbetën në kujtim,

How many hugs remained in memory,

Vajza erdhi për të të gëzuar,

The daughter came to make you happy,

Por u largua me dhimbjen në shpirt.

But left with pain in her soul.

[Refreni – me emocion] · Chorus – with emotion

O nënë, pse ike kaq shpejt,

Oh mother, why did you leave so soon,

Pse na le me lot në sy?

Why did you leave us with tears in our eyes?

Elirjeta erdhi nga larg,

Elirjeta came from afar,

Por fati s'e la gjatë me ty.

But fate didn't let her stay long with you.

Shtatë ditë ishit bashkë,

Seven days you were together,

Shtatë ditë si dhuratë nga Zoti,

Seven days like a gift from God,

Tash Elirjeta të kërkon në qiell,

Now Elirjeta looks for you in heaven,

Me mall në zemër e lot në sy.

With longing in her heart and tears in her eyes.

[Përfundimi – ngadalë] · Outro – slowly

Nga Zvicra erdhi për ty, nënë,

She came from Switzerland for you, mother,

Me shpresë të të sillte gëzim,

Hoping to bring you joy,

Por sot të flet vetëm në fotografi,

But today she only speaks to you in photographs,

Dhe të ruan përjetë në kujtim.

And keeps you forever in memory.

Pusho e qetë, e dashura nënë,

Rest in peace, dear mother,

Dashuria nuk vdes kurrë,

Love never dies,

Elirjeta do të të mbajë në zemër,

Elirjeta will keep you in her heart,

Deri ditën kur të takohemi në qiell…

Until the day we meet in heaven…

Lines explained

“Do të bëhej kujtim që zemrën ia vrau.”

Would become a memory that broke her heart.

This line highlights the tragic irony of the visit, as what was meant to be a joyful reunion ultimately became a source of profound sorrow and a painful memory.

“E në zemër mbeti plagë pa shërim.”

And in the heart remained an unhealed wound.

This metaphor of an 'unhealed wound' powerfully conveys the lasting grief and emotional scar left by the mother's sudden death, emphasizing the depth of the daughter's pain.

“Shtatë ditë si dhuratë nga Zoti,”

Seven days like a gift from God,

This line frames the brief time they had together as a precious, divine gift, underscoring the bittersweet nature of their reunion and the profound loss that followed.
