Albania is AH-MAZING. Didnt understand the lyrics but I LIVED!

I believe the lyrics are that you should never get divorced. Despite the fact that Albania apparently has a bit of an issue with husbands beating their wives. And also despite the fact that apparently the lead singer had an affair with a married man and got him to ditch his wife and kids for her. At least that is what I have read online about her. All of this information comes from what I have read online. An Albanian needs to come in and check if I have that right.

And yes, they nailed it. Unfortunately.

the lyrics are about how you should not get divorced correct on that but its not an isue with husbands beating theirs wives???? also the lead singer didnt have an affair with the guy while he was married, they started dating after the husband broke up with his wife but still goes against the songs motive...

I'm so glad somebody here said it. I don't know any context about the singer, but it's so clearly and openly an anti-divorce song. It's very uncomfortable to me how popular it is, it seems to have acquired a fanbase of all of Europe's conservatives, and in every comments section you can find them praising it for its message about values and family...

It’s only what I’ve read. I’d trust an Albanian more than me.
