Hallë e Madhe

halle madhe,

Hajde hin ne valle,

Moj halla e madhe.

Sille moj tepsine,

Lidhma moj shamine,

Mojk halla e madhe.

Sa te paska hije,

Si djeli kur bije,

Moj halla e madhe.

Hajde halla e vogel,

Hajde kce ne loder,

Moj halla e vogel.

Sa te paska hije,

Si djelli kur bije,

Moj halla e vogel.

???

Kceni mori halla,

Kceni mori bija,

Gna u mush katundi,

Gna u mush shtepija.

Come oldest aunt,

Come and join in,

In the dance.

Spin the Tepsi^[1]

And tie it with a scarf.

Notes

↑ During the Turkish occupation it was not allowed to play instruments to accompany dancing. So people used to sing while spinning the Tepsi, a metal tray, to diffuse the sound of the singing.
