A white lily on the rock

I.
Away on mountaintops of Mirdite1
A red rock is still and settled
Here, tell the words of legend,
A fierce battle was fought with Turks2
 
Years came, centuries came
On the trenches wall’s growing
Blooming and never fading
A white lily on the rock
 
Chorus 2x
 
O handsome lily
Why do you bloom petals?
To freshen up the braves
who fell in the mountains.
 
O lily of the rock
Why do you bloom in highland?
To remember the partisans
Eagles on these peaks.
 
II.
Up high on the cliffs of mountains
Red rock affronts lightening strikes,
High up the eagle raises the flag
Punching forcefully the blockade
 
Days pass and years pass
But one thing we don’t forget
That it blooms and never fades
A white lily on the rock.
 
Chorus 2x
