Zoti nuk ma fal

Jeta si në përrallë më kish llastuar
Lart në qiell si një yll jetoja unë
Qeshja si e marrë kur ti rënkoje
E pashpirt, vetëm veten doja shumë

Zoti nuk ma fal
Bota mbi mua ra
Më ike ti, më ikën miqtë
As dritë nuk kam
Zoti nuk ma fal
T'thirra por sot nuk kam
Lotët mbledhur në dorë
Të ndryshkur janë

Se të kërkoja nëpër zemra bosh
Dhe e kuptoja asgjë nuk më josh
E vetme jam
Po, e vetme jam
Kur unë rënkoja, qeshje si i marrë
E meritoja unë tërhiqem zvarrë
Fajtore jam
Po, fajtore jam

Zoti nuk ma fal
Bota mbi mua ra
Më ike ti, më ikën miqtë
As dritë nuk kam
Zoti nuk ma fal
T'thirra por sot nuk kam
Lotët mbledhur në dorë
Të ndryshkur janë

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Bota mbi mua ra
(Më ike ti) Më ikën miqtë
As dritë nuk kam
Zoti nuk ma fal
T'thirra por sot nuk kam
Lotët mbledhur në dorë
Të ndryshkur janë​

What's there to really say here? This will eventually be revamped, so it's hard to really throw out thoughts about this song. I do think that it definitely NEEDS a revamp in order to do well, but I don't trust Albania to do it lol. I think the song is nice enough, but there's some quality that I'm missing here. I feel like it has all the ingredients to really come together. The song itself has interesting enough ideas, but they don't really come together the way that I really like. I do think that Anxhela is a good performer, and I was happy to see that this will stay in Albanian AND that it beat Inis' boring song lol. I'm excited and terrified as to what the revamp brings, but at least she didn't place a Curse on us like Shaj did last year. ;) :6: points to be generous

I'll trust Albania with the revamp this year. Their revamps are usually well made and good when they don't change the lyrics and just focus on the production. Khteju Tokes was a very well made revamp and since Karma is staying in Albanian, it should follow the Khteju route.

"Karma" is a song that respects the Albanian musical tradition but it is not a successful song. It can be said that the song stands up only thanks to the voice and the irrepressible charm of the Peristeri. Compared to the Go_A song, which so far touches the lowest point of my personal ranking, "Karma" completely lacks body, I feel it elusive, it does not enter your mind or shakes the spirit. Rated 4 at the moment.

Giving this a 5. It's meh but I believe a revamp is in the making. Will see if my opinion of the song will change once the final version is out.

I gave a 12.
Really love the ethnic vibe.
Vocals are perfect, she is able to reach high notes easily. Best singer by far.
Sure that it will be revamped and staging hopefully will be different.

I lowkey stan it. But I don't think it's a strong entry. I just happen to enjoy this kind of music from Balkans.


I do have random associations of it with ... Olta Boka's entry for Albania from 2008 which I loved (my top 5 that year). The melody of the chorus strikes me as slightly similar now. Can you hear it too, people? :)

I am of different opinion, I think their revamps either do nothing or flat-out destroy it usually. But I agree that Ktheju Tokes remake was well-made.
