Hymni i Flamurit

Hymni i Flamurit is the national anthem of Albania. The words were written by the Albanian poet Aleksander Stavre Drenova. The hymn was first published as a poem in Liri e Shqipërisë (in English: Freedom of Albania), an Albanian newspaper in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1912. It was later printed in a volume of poems by Drenova titled Ëndra e lotë (in English: Dreams and tears), which was published in Bucharest.

The music of the anthem was composed by the Romanian composer Ciprian Porumbescu.

Naming

The original title of the anthem as adopted in 1912 was Betimi mi flamur (in English: Pledge [to] the flag). In the Albanian constitution the name of the national anthem currently is Rreth Flamurit të Përbashkuar (English: literally United Around the Flag, though sometimes translated as United Around Our Flag), which is also the first verse of the poem. Sometimes the more generic name Hymni Kombëtar (National Anthem) is used.

Note: Hymni i Flamurit is also the name of a poem by Fan S. Noli.

Lyrics

During the communist regime, which suppressed the practice of religion in Albania, the anthem did not have the last verse. The original poem had one more verse that is not part of the anthem.

Hymni i Flamurit (in Albanian) Hymn to the Flag (in English)
Rreth flamurit të përbashkuar, United around the flag,
Me një dëshirë dhe një qëllim, With one desire and one goal,
Të gjithë Atij duke iu betuar, Let us pledge our word of honour
Të lidhim besën për shpëtim. To fight for our salvation
Prej lufte veç ay largohet, Only he who is a born traitor
Që është lindur tradhëtor, Averts from the struggle.
Kush është burrë nuk friksohet, He who is brave is not daunted,
Po vdes, po vdes si një dëshmor. But falls - a martyr to the cause.
Në dorë armët do t'i mbajmë, With arms in hand we shall remain,
Të mbrojmë Atdheun në çdo vënd, To guard our fatherland round about.
Të drejtat tona ne s'i ndajmë, Our rights we will not bequeath,
Këtu armiqtë s'kanë vënd. Enemies have no place here.
Se Zoti vet e tha me gojë, For the Lord Himself has said,
Që kombe shuhen përmbi dhé, That nations vanish from the earth,
Po Shqipëria do të rrojë, But Albania shall live on,
Për të, për të luftojmë ne. Because for her, it is for her that we fight.

Original text of the poem

Rreth flamurit te përbashkuar
me një dëshire dhe një qëllim
Të gjith atje duk' ju betuar
Të lidhim besën për shpëtim

Prej lufte vec ay largohet
Që është lindur tradhëtor
Kush është burrë nuk frikohet
po vdes, po vdes si një dëshmor

Në dorë armët t'i mbajmë
Të mbrojmë atdhenë në çdo kënt,
Të drejtat tona ne s'i ndajmë;
Këtu armikët s'kanë vënt

Se zoti vetë e tha me gojë
Që kombet shuhen përmi dhé
Po Shqipëria do të rojë:
për të, për të luftojmë ne!

O flamur, flamur shënj' e shënjtë
Te ty betohemi këtu,
Për Shqipërin' atdhen' e shtrenjtë
Për nder edhe lavdimn' e tu.

Trim burrë quhet dhe nderohet
Atdheut kush iu bë therror
Për jet ay do të kujtohet
Mi dhet, mi dhet si një shenjtor
