Thank you to everyone who voted for this beautiful song tonight. I am in Australia and couldn't vote in semi 2, but I was hoping this would qualify. Good choice, Europe!

That part from 0:44 makes every albanian jump of the plane when is about to leave the homeland.

I'm proud to be Albanian after watching this, and I'm American. Jokes aside though, this performance really blew me away. It really deserved better.

Well deserved. I was afraid because ethnic songs usually don't go very well at the ESC, but tonight people of Europe were quite wise. What a great representation of the country, of the people's culture.

[@emj7218]

Thats true!

[@user-cs8xi9yq4t]

Yeah, but the results of the grand final are so disappointing... 17th place from televoting and 18th place from jury voting. Why?

I am Albanian from Kosovo and I understand everything she is singing about. It seems some people here are illiterate..

[@specialuninvitedguest1498]

@@aninna6335 You're not Albanian if you cannot understand her, or your Albanian "skillz" are really poor AF. ▪︎ *"Ktheju tokës tônë"* > (how it's quite common in Kosovo and northern parts of Albania; bc both speak the "Gheg" dialect - the *northern dialect)* ▪︎ *"Ktheju tokës tende"* (How they say in Standard Albanian, which is based on "Tosk" - the *southern dialect)* So you "cannot" understand it bc she sings "tende" and not "tônë" ... gtfo 🙄 it's the same word, just a "d" in "ten[d]e" and no "d" in "tôn[-]ë" (bc the northern dialect lost it)! It's just like english "sp[-]eak" lost the "r"; which is still preserved in german "sp[R]echen" (and also found in albanian "shp[R]eh" ("to utter").
