DO NOT FALL IN LOVE

Do not fall in love 

Don´t fall in love with a woman who reads, 
with a woman who feels too much, 
with a woman who writes… 
Don’t fall in love with a cultivated, 
magician, 
delirious, 
crazy woman. 
Don’t fall in love with a woman who thinks, 
who knows what she knows and also knows how to fly; 
a woman secure of herself. 
Don’t fall in love with a woman who laughs or cries while making love, 
who is capable of turning her flesh into spirit. 
Don´t fall in love with a woman who loves poetry 
(those are the most dangerous) 
or could spend half an hour staring at a painting 
and can’t live without music. 
Don’t fall in love with a woman who is interested in politics; 
and with one who is rebellious 
and suffers enormously b
ecause of inequality and injustices. 
One who enjoys football matches 
and ball games but don´t like to watch television at all. 
Don´t you dare to fall in love with a woman who is gorgeous 
in spite of her face or her body, 
an intense, 
joyful, 
lucid and irreverent woman. 
You don’t want to fall in love with a woman like that, 
because if you do so,
weather she stays with you or not, 
she loves you back or not, from her, 
from a woman like that, 
you´ll NEVER EVER will find the way back.

Mos bjer´ne dashuri 

Mos bjer´ne dashuri me nje femer e cila lexon, 
nje femer kaq shume te ndjeshme, 
nje femer qe shkruan. 
Mos bjer ne dashuri me nje te kulturuar, 
te magjishme, 
delirante, 
femer te cmendur. 
Mos bjer ne dashuri me nje femer te zgjuar, 
qe e di se c´fare di dhe gjithashtu di se si te fluturoje, 
nje femer konfidente ne brendesi. 
Mos bjer ne dashuri me nje femer qe qesh dhe qan kur ben dashuri, 
qe di si te konvertoje misherimin e saj ne shpirt, 
aq me pak, 
nje te dashuruar pas poezise (ato jane dhe me te rrezikshme), 
ose ate qe mund te qendroje nje ore e gjysem mendushem para nje pikture, dhe e cila s´di se si jetohet pa muzike. 
Mos bjer ne dashuri me nje femer, 
se ciles i intereson politika, 
nje rebeleje qe ndjen tmer´ te pafundem nga padrejtesia, 
nje qe pelqen lojen e futbollit dhe golat, 
dhe si pelqen mbi te gjitha, te shohe televizor, 
ose nje femere te bukur, 
c´rendesi kane karakteristikat ne fytyre a ne trupin e saj, 
mos bjer, me nje femer aktive, 
zbavitese, 
te hedhur dhe te pasjellshme. 
Ti s´do te biesh ne dashuri me nje femer si kjo, 
sepse kur ti bie ne dashuri me nje femer te tille, 
nese ajo rri me ty apo jo, nese te dashuron a jo, ajo, 
nje femer e tille, kurre s´kthehet mbrapsht... (kurre s´do te jete e jotja)
