 Albanian Anthem

Pledge to the Flag

United around the flag
With one desire and one goal
Let us pledge our word of honor
To fight for our salvation
Only he who is a born traitor
Averts from the struggle
He who is brave is not daunted
But falls - a martyr to the cause
With arms in hand we shall remain
To guard our fatherland round about
Our rights we will not bequeath
Enemies have no place here
For the Lord Himself has said
That nations vanish from the earth
But Albania shall live on
Because for her, it is for her that we fight

Listen to the Anthem!Listen to the National Anthem here!

"Murdered and like many hogs they had their throats slit by the Albanians." End Result of an Ottoman Campaign in Scanderbeg's Albania
For Albania was not fashioned,
Made by God for the Circassians,
Nor for darkskinned Turks and Moors,
But for mountain hawks,
those heroes Whom the world calls the Albanians,
That they keep it for their children
For as long as life continues.
