I was just thinking

Isha duke menduar

that I have been missing you way too long

qe ti me mungon shume

There's something inside this weary head

Ka dicka brenda mendjes sime se merzitur

that wants us to love just instead

qe eshte me mire vetem ta duam njeri-tjetrin

But I was just thinking,

Une vetem po mendoja

merely thinking

thjesht po mendoja

I've got loads of pictures,

Qe kam shume fotografi,

I've got the one of you in that dancing dress

Kam dhe nje tenden kur je ne fustanin e vallezimit

But man I feel silly in that dim light

Por c'te them ndihem teveqel ne ate drite te zbehte

Just after doing you by the sight of my Kodak delights,

Pasi t'a punova me Kodakun tim,

I am sinking,

Une po fundosem,

merely sinking

thjesht po fundosem

I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe

Mendjen e kam gjetke ne vend se te te puth ty e dashur

I'm a singer without a song

Jam nje kengtar pa kenge

If I wait for you longer

Nese pres per ty me shume

my affection is stronger

dashuria ime per ty rritet me shume

and I ... I was just thinking,

dhe une ... vetem po mendoja,

merely thinking

thjesht po mendoja

that this boat is sinking

qe kjo varke eshte duke u fundosur

I'm tired of postcards,

Jam i lodhur nga kartolinat

especially the ones with cute dogs and cupids

sidomos atyre qe kane qene te lezetshme dhe engjullin e dashurise ne to

I'm tired of calling you and missing you

Jam lodhur duke te thirrur ty e duke me munguar ti

and dreaming I slept with you

ne enderr une kam fjetur me ty

Don't get me wrong I still desperately love you

Mos me keqkupto, une jam ende i dashuruar koke e kembe me ty

inside this weary head

brenda kesaj koke time te merzitur

I just want us to love just instead

Une vetem dua qe te jemi te dashuruar perseri

But I was just thinking and thinking,

Por prap une po mendoja e po mendoja,

merely thinking

thjesht po mendoja

I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you babe

Mendjen e kam gjetke ne vend se te te puth ty e dashur

and time is running me still

dhe koha po ecen shpejt per mua

If I wait for you longer

Nese te pres ty me shume

my affection is stronger

dashuria ime per ty rritet me shume

I ... I was just thinking

Une ... une vetem po mendoja

I ... I was just thinking

Une ... une vetem po mendoja

that I'm tired of calling you once a week

qe jam i lodhur duke te thirrur vetem nje here ne jave

thinking of long distance rates instead of kissing you

mendjen e kam gjetke ne vend se te te puth ty e dashur

So baby I'm sinking,

Keshtu qe e dashur une po fundosem,

merely sinking

thjesht po fundosem

Thank you.

Faleminderit.

Singing is sharing.

Te kenduarit eshte te ndash me te tjeret.

When you sing, you have to know what you're talking about intimately,

Kur kendon, duhet te kesh parasysh se cfare imtesira te jetes je duke ndare

and you have to be willing to share this insight

dhe duhet te jesh i gatshem t'a ndash brendesine

and give away a piece of yourself.

dhe te ndash nje pjese te vetes tende.

I look for this intention to share in everything,

Ky eshte edhe qellimi im qe te ndaj gjithcka,

and I ask: what are the intentions behind this architecture or this product

dhe pyes veten: cilat jane qellimet prapa kesaj arkitekture or ketij produkti

or this restaurant or this meal?

ose ketij restauranti ose prapa ketij vakti?

And if your intentions are to impress people

Dhe nese qellimet e tua jane qe t'i besh per vete njerezit

or to get the big applause at the end,

ose te duartrokasin fort per ty,

then you are taking, not giving.

atehere ju jeni duke marre dhe jo duke dhene.

And this is a song that's about --

Dhe kjo kenge eshte ashtu --

it's the kind of song that everyone has their version of.

eshte nje keng qe secili prej nesh e ka versionin e vet te te kenduarit.

This song is called "Home,"

Kjo kenge quhet "Shtepia,"

and it's sort of a "This is where I'm from, nice to meet you all,"

dhe eshte nje nga ato kenget "Nga ketu kam ardhur, kenaqsi t'ju takoj,"

kind of song.

kesi lloj kenge.

Home is the sound of birds early in the morning

Shtepia eshte tingulli i zogjeve heret ne mengjes

Home is a song I've always remembered

Shtepia eshte nje kenge qe gjithmone e kam kujtuar

Home is the memory of my first day in school

Shtepia eshte kujtimi i dites sime se pare ne shkolle

Home is the books that I carry around

Shtepia eshte libri qe e mbaj me vete

Home is an alley in a faraway town

Shtepia eshte nje shteg ne nje qytet te larget

Home is the places I’ve been and where I’d like to go

Shtepia eshte vendi ku kam qene dhe ku dua te shkoj

Home

Shtepia

I'm always gonna feel at home

Gjithmone do te ndihem si ne shtepi

No matter where I may roam

Ngado qe te shkoj

I'm always gonna find my way back home

Gjithmone do te kthehem ne shtepi

No matter how far I’m gone

Kudo larg qe te shkoj

I’m always gonna feel this longing

Une gjithmone do t'a ndjej kete mall

No matter where I might stay

Kudo qe te qendroj

Home is a feather twirling in the air

Shtepia eshte si pende qe leshohet ne ajer

Home is flowers in a windowsill

Shtepia eshte lule ne nje prag dritareje

Home is all the things she said to me

Shtepia eshte te gjitha gjerat qe ajo m'i ka thene mua

Home is a photo I never threw away

Shtepia eshte nje foto qe kurre s'do e hedh

Home is the smile on my face when I die

Shtepia eshte nje buzeqeshje ne fytyren time kur vdes

Home is the taste of an apple pie

Shtepia eshte shija e tortes se molles

I met a woman, she always lived in the same place

Kam takuar nje grua, ajo gjithmone ka jetuar ne te njejtin vend

And she said home is where you’re born and raised

Ajo thoshte, shtepia eshte ku je lind e rrit

And I met a man, he sat looking out to the sea

Pastaj kam takuar nje burre, ai ishte i ulur duke soditur detin

And he said home is where you want to be

Dhe thoshte qe shtepia eshte ku deshiron te jesh

I met a girl in some downtown bar

U takova me nje vajze ne nje lokal

And she said I'll have whatever he's having

Dhe tha qe do te merrte cfaredo qe eshte ai duke pire

And I asked her how come we never met before?

Dhe e pyeta se si eshte e mundur qe nuk jemi takuar me heret?

And she said all my life I’ve been trying

Dhe ajo tha qe tere jeten e saj eshte munduar

to get a place of my own

te kete nje vend te saj

I’m always gonna feel at home

Une gjithmone do te ndihem si ne shtepi

No matter where I may roam

Ngado qe te shkoj

Always gonna find my way back home

Gjithmone do te kthehem ne shtepi

No matter how far I’m gone

Kudo larg te shkoj

I'm always gonna feel this longing

Une gjithmone do t'a ndjej kete mall

No matter where I might stay

Kudo qe te qendroj
