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​

Anxhela speaks exclusively to Eurovisionfun. She reveals the language she will sing Karma at Eurovision, as well she clarifies her greek origin!

Keeping the song in Albanian is good news. Looks like they'll be going for a Jonida style revamp.

Great, exactly the direction this song needs. xheat 'Ktheju Tokës' was such a great entry, especially at Eurovision itself.

OK how many of you think this is going to make the final?

I think it's borderline at best, depends on the song quality of the semi, last year it was quite weak, but it may be different this year...
I don't now apart from her voice there is nothing that usually appeals to juries (like the radio-friendliness or creativity). And Albania also doesn't have Croatia and Macedonia, and also Azerbaijan who often votes for them in its semi (only Greece, Switzerland and maybe Serbia are voting for them)... but we'll see with the revamp, running order and anything else

It's literally the first song we have and it's pre-revamp. I totally get the typical Albania border qualifier, middle final result as that is the vibe it does give and it's Albania, but until we know every song and the heard the revamped version we have no clue at all.

"The heard"?

well, yeah but still we can make predictions based on previous years, and also this year we already have most of the artists confirmed.

I'm happy it's reportedly staying in Albanian, but I can't believe Albania is doing the same mistake all over again every darn year. Last year it was Elvana, this year they had Era and Mirud... modern, slick ethno-bops which still sounds unique and they end up with the same... such a waste... although on that note I much prefer this one to have won over stuff like Pendesë for instance, so I am waiting for the revamp to see how the end product will sound like.

When the jury is full of old men then ofc anything like Era or Mirud were bound to get the kiss of death

I can connect to this one much more than last year's entry, so I hope this is the start into a strong season.

Yeah, same in ESC apparently...

It's just so sad with all these annual missed opportunities, not only in Albania (although they mastered the art)

Isn't this the result that was in thatt wiki table that was confirmed to be fake? At least, some positions are similar (Inis', Evi's, Era's, Mirud's...)

Exactly. Festivali i Kenges already succeded in choosing more 'current' songs yet the selection method failed to make it appeal for younger audiences. A person even claimed that FiK was used as an electoral campaign for Mayor of Tirana, although the claim didn't have any source.

However if Albanians see RTSH as the channel for old people, no televote could save it though, since younger people won't watch it. It needs an Albanian version of Amadeus to reform it.
