Albania 1976

Watched a program yesterday on Digi+ (Digitalb Tv) about Albania in 1976. Enver Hoxha was in Gjirokaster visiting his hometown, and everything in Albania was great! (according to the presenter - and my mother-in-law!)
Couldn't help feel sorry for the people cheering Enver Hoxha...as i remembered the words, "ti kete POPULL NE DRITE E QITE".


ALBANIA 1976
Small nation
Little time
Tiny ration
Enormous shadow
Great fear
Great want

And throughout the land
Shrieks and cries
Like owls in the night

SHQIPËRI 1976
Vend i vogël
Kohë e vogël
Rracion i vogël.

Errësirë e madhe
Frikë e madhe
Mjerim i madh.

Dhe rrugëve të atdheut
Si kukuvajka nën hënë
Leh e ulërin.

Couldn't have said it better. But what makes me sad is the psychological damage done to the minds of albanians, who still can't discern things and are unable to see that the actual regime is merely an extension of the previous one. And they go on making the same mistakes... the silence of the lambs.
