Pa seç ja thotë moj qyqeja
(The cuckoo sings sweetly)
South-Eastern Albania
Pa seç ja thotë moj qyqeja
Bilbil moj nanë-o bilbil-o
Bilbil moj şego bilbil-o
Pa seç ja thotë moj malit-o
O mal-i mathë moj kusarët-o
Pa seç ja thotë moj fushës-o
O fusha mban moj karvanët-o
Bilbil moj nanë-o bilbil-o
Bilbil moj şego bilbil-o
Pa seç ja thotë moj malit-o
O mal-i mathë moj kusarët-o
Pa seç ja thotë moj fushës-o
O fusha mban moj karvanët-o
