LYRICS
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Ej, ej, ej, ej, ej, ej, ej
Po vjen djali nga malet
Dhe tek unë sot do falet
Nuk e di a do ndalet
Hajde t'i, hajde t'i falim mëkatet
Për këtë vajzën do vije
Dhe krejt botën ta lije
Unë jam diell nuk jam hije
Ti i je i imi, djalë prej Shqipërie
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Baby shija jote, shijes sime
Peng i ka mbet
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Nuk janë më një sekret
Por unë nuk e di, nuk e di
Si kam me u ndi
Nuk e di, si për tjetrën m'ke lon
Edhe sot un po du me ta thon
Edhe një, edhe ty
Unë, ty, tre, ta marrsha
(Ta marrsha, ta marrsha)
(Ta marrsha, ta marrsha)
(Ta marrsha, ta marrsha)
(Ta marrsha, ta marrsha)
Ma ke bo jetën si lojna, avion
Ma ka lon, ma ka lon
Nuk di nji tjetër, se pishmon
Ma ka lon, ma ka lon
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Mbetën vetëm sekret
Baby shija jote, shijes sime
Peng i ka mbet
Hej, a i kujton ato netë?
Nuk janë më një sekret
Por unë nuk e di, nuk e di
Si kam me u ndi
Nuk e di, si për tjetrën m'ke lon
Edhe sot un po du me ta thon
Edhe një, edhe ty
Unë, ty, tre, ta marrsha
(Ta marrsha, ta marrsha)
(Ta marrsha, ta marrsha)
Ma kadalë, ma kadalë, ej
Ma kadalë, ma kadalë, ej

As an albanian! except her big talent she has also such an iconic personality! She's a woman that's not scared to cause contreversy and get attention. We are so proud of her Can't wait for her in Torino!🔥🦅🦅🦅

[@theduchess3]

I wouldn’t say Ronela has ever caused controversy. It’s usually the media that has smth to say and she shuts them down in the sassiest ways. 😂 She’s one of the most down to earth celebrities in my opinion.

[@ariolakaranxha5620]

Well said, can't wait to see her performing in Torino ✨🙌🏻🦅

[@harryt5878]

This is quality. I’m so happy the jury selected this. It’s such a bop, amazing vocal and choreo already, so excited to see the revamp as she’ll need to remove 30 seconds and said she may play around with which bits will be English and Albanian

[@Konstantinos20]

Actually this is not quality, this is why bop...bit the effort is good. Hope they go well, though i like other years more.

[@lediledi6492]

This is Quality. Finally a great song in Eurovision

[@JordanDavisEurovision]

She held those low notes DOWN in the early part of the song. LOVE THIS!

[@AlesiaMichelle]

Y'all know I love a THICK rich vocal.

Just imagine if Albania wins Eurovision 2022 and they invite all worldwild known singers such as : Dua Lipa,Rita Ora,Ava Max,Bebe Rexha, Gashi, Action Bronson,Dj Regard. The presenter of eurosong contest to be : Jim Belushi ,Eliza Dushku and other well known albanian . Albania singers have presented Cyprus /Eleni and took the 2 place ,Italy with Ermal Meta 5th place and Swizerland last year Jon Tears took second place. They participated first at eurovision songcontest 2004 and took 7place . Than in 2012 with Rona Neshliu -Sus the positioned in 5th place. We need Tirana 2022! They deserve to get a win for such mega talents they are bringing to world in music industry and cinematography

[@bryanng8599]

I was rooting for Theje pre contest, but Ronela make me root for her when the live performances begin. Albania knows how to transform their staging and performers on the Eurovisiom stage...i think Albania could do very well if every thing goes as well as they did on the Fik stage. I think they could do what Shum did last year...fill up the stage by making the led display thousands of people,thus creating an illusion of energy and excitement.

[@itslikerufus]

Albania is always giving me the special something 😍

If this performance was under the name of Sweden or Ukraine or another "big" country we would have been talking about winning,,, but she is a Queen and she will be remembered!!!! I love her so so so much!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@esctoplist1162]

@@adrianos7334 Are you high?

[@in_wino_veritas]

Yep, I could see it qualify in this version, albeit nowhere near Top 5, had my doubts about qualification after the revamp came out and knew, it wasn't gonna qualify, as soon as I saw it live on the Eurovision stage. I'm actually surprised it didn't come 2nd to last (just ahead of my own home country, who in all fairness should have finished last overall, not just with the juries). Maybe this user thought the same once he or she saw it on stage. Kudos to you for finding out early.

[@mej6400]

I‘m so happy Albania finally uses our real music bc Balkan music is full of rhythm and beat, that’s our real music and not this ballad ones.

[@Iamrobot8]

This is such a fantastic song, accompanied by a showstopping performance. It's so far ahead of the other 2 songs chosen so far. It's gonna take something really special to top this masterpiece.

[@auroram.6757]

For the first rime Albania vote the true talent

[@feggyo]

there were always singing talents, but they didn't have a good song

[@ESCAerial]

RTSH needs to INVEST this year. They have an opportunity. I dont want any of this Anxhela paying SJB out of her own pocket business. I want the broadcaster to get behind her.

[@loy2167]

Ronela us a commercial singer , so she is rich enough to do everything herself

[@juliette1911]

I was so sceptic about her song at first, but now iam obsessed with it, u got this Albania🇦🇱🔥

[@sav0001]

Completely agree. First time Albania has been my 1st place and I see it staying in my top 10 even with only 3 songs known so far. Czech Republic is great too. I have had two favourites winning their national finals for the first time ever, the 2022 season is off to an amazing start for me.

[@mreurovision1986]

This is a contender for me in Eurovision 22. My favourite from the start

[@teananaj985]

The meaning behind the video is based on an Albanian urban legend. She was a princess named Vjosa( after the river also shown in the clip) and she lived in the castle. After they killed her husband she turns into a ‘dragon’ curses the men and kills herself to be reunited with him again. And you are right, the message is women strength and power

[@RickyPro888]

It gives me Wild Dances 🇺🇦 2004 vibes! She owns the stage!

[@AlesiaMichelle]

OWNS IT!!! Oh yes 🙌🏾

[@esc3175]

Brilliant Reaction!!!

Great reaction Alesia. Wishing Albania 🇦🇱 all the best in the final and why not Tirana 2023.

[@AlirioAguero2]

Sekret is an interesting bop. My early prediction is that Albania and Czechia are qualifying, and Bulgaria is not. However, we still have 38 songs to go through. Estonia and Spain have a few good songs. I am interested in what 2022 brings.

[@spirosspiros7860]

Albania has just begun a new Eurovision period and has to expand further in this specific musical genre. I'm so into this. I definitely think this song is close to our Bulgarian "pop-folk". I'm also convinced that the stage in Turin will be smashed into pieces thanks to Ronela's contagious energy.

[@ESCAerial]

Top 2 at FiK this year were really strong. Would have been excited to see either go, but I was rooting for this one a little more, just because it's something different from Albania. They are going to have to revamp it somewhat. The current version is too long. While they're in there, might as well do some fine-tuning. But yeah, I dont want them to mess with this TOO much.

[@kennet7837]

The jurors were younger than usual, I think that played a big factor in allowing a song like this to finally win the festival. Didn't care for this track as a studio cut, but it's very enjoyable live and think it has potential of doing well at Eurovision. Now, it's 34 seconds too long, so they'll have to edit the song, which hopefully makes it even better, but Albania has a mixed track record with revamps. The last ones (since 2018) improved their songs, but 2016 and 2017 however...
