Listening to the new song about Erdogan

Listening to the new song about Erdogan

After the promise and the agreement signed with the Turkish side to build a regional hospital in Fier within a record time of three months, immediately in addition to thanks to Turkey, a song was released in honor of this work and Turkish President Erdogan. This song did not have to be created in these dangerous pandemic conditions that our country and the whole world are going through. How much less to dedicate to Erdogan with such hyperbolic verses as "Erdogan no longer makes mother". If we continued to sing songs for every foreign company that makes an investment or performs such a work in our country, there would be no place left at all to honor with songs and decorations the true heroes who sacrifice every day for our Homeland. dear. If the help of a government given to our country is overestimated, then what can we say about the EU leader who has helped our country with millions of euros for the earthquake disasters and Covid-19 ?! Such songs, in addition to personal appropriations, promote and want to perpetuate the cult of the individual. A few days ago, a new song about Sali Berisha was released on YouTube. This song that was sung by father and daughter, is a continuation of those songs that were sung to Berisha in those beginnings of democracy as president of the country and leader of democracy. Verses such as "A star rises, shines on the planets / at the end of the twentieth century", recall the songs raised about Enver Hoxha as "today people around the world say / a star has light in Europe". Maybe in those years, when democracy started and the people dreamed of a new era, someone exalted by Berisha's charisma could even compose such songs. But today, in the conditions where that political class led by Berisha, who promised the heavens, has turned the country, such songs are like the praise that Sanço Panço sang to his master Don Quixote. Even the new song that is circulating on YouTube, with verses such as "Kastriot's heir / lands together with the nation '" or "Albanian nation honor / man of faith of bravery" seem to be too heavy on the shoulders Berisha's polluted. Even more comical are the verses: "Berisha is the honor of the nation / fighter against corruption", when it is known how he fought corruption as president and prime minister and what a fabulous life his children lead in front of a good part of this poor people. But what impressed me most about this song was something else very significant, which could probably have been done intentionally by the songwriters. The song was accompanied by film sequences from Berisha's political activity. But I was very impressed by the fact that none of those who accompany Berisha in these activities, is today in the DP. In the film sequences, more prominent is Berisha's side, sometimes back and sometimes front, is also Izet Haxhia, his main companion. But it is known where Izeti is today, the former main and loyal defender of Berisha. But not only Izet, none of those who started democracy did a piece of the road with Berisha, are no longer by his side. Following the monistic tradition, where leaders chanted ditirambe, even when he delivered a pathetic speech in hypocritical stands, songs were also dedicated to other leaders of democracy, simply for servility. A party like LSI, for example, has tried to deify its chairman, Ilir Meta even when he was not formed as a politician and had not yet shown any contribution to the good of the country. Songs with verses such as "Deep in the mountains of Skrapar / The father of the fatherland was born / Who cries for my troubles / Ilir Meta LSI" as it is said in a song dedicated to Ilir Meta, seem to be sung to Abdyl Frashëri or Ismail Qemali and not a politician, who uses power for family enrichment. The twin verses Ilir-LSI, sound equal to the binomial "Parti-Enver" of monism that had made Albanians "the happiest people in the world." These songs, as well as the song dedicated to Erdogan, are more than an appreciation of the leader's contribution to the Albanians, they are heads of provincialism and humility before the one in power, as well as inflating a false greatness for immediate benefits. The time of monism was the time of the cult of the individual and the leader was glorified by empty applause and verses inflated by the emotions of that day which then left no trace. Songs are dedicated to Skanderbeg, Abdyl Frashëri, Isa Boletini, Ismail Qemali, but these are very few, compared to what these great men did for the homeland. More songs were dedicated to Enver, over 2000, but it can be said that not all of them were heart songs even though Enver in those beginnings did a lot, both as a leader of the war and for the reconstruction of the destroyed country. Most of the songs dedicated to Enver were inspired by the breeze of freedom, which filled the hearts of all Albanians. A people who breathed freely in the fresh air of freedom, knew and had proven that at the head of this war was Enver, so he sang the song to him with all his heart. The verses "Who brought us freedom / Enver Hoxha with the party" was a reality that could not be denied. When the country completely devastated by the war began to change its view of the work being done on all four sides, in the South and North, Enver and the party avenged the songs that flowed freely from the hearts of the people. And so, regardless of who Enver was, he knew how to remain highly respected and honored from the first days when he started the ANC War, until his death. That there is nothing worse when all the false greatness comes back to us wild and banal anathema while you are alive. Ahmet Zogu also stayed in power for a long time, he was prime minister and king, but there were few songs for him, because his contribution for the benefit of the people was small. More songs should have and should be composed by Albanians for the Martyrs of the Fatherland, for no one can atone for them anymore what they did for the homeland, the shedding of blood. But to sing songs today to these politicians, who came to the forefront of the democratic movements with the great mission to make Albania like Europe and turned it into the shame of the world, is more than servility and shame. It is complete irresponsibility. Dedicating a song to a personality is the hardest thing, because not everyone deserves the song. To immortalize the other in song means that he has made a great contribution to the benefit of his nation and people. To sing a heart song to a personality, means to make it immortal, that the heart song never dies. Songs are sung alive to true heroes, or dictators, to impose their false greatness on anyone. For how long, for example, can the song about Lulzim Basha be heard: "My Serbia, let me bury the grave / here they call him Lulzim Basha"! Such perversions without any motive in themselves turn into humor and an object of humor.

Even the song about Erdogan "In Turkey on a crescent / Erdogan no longer makes a mother" has a pronounced artificiality, it is not sensory and does not touch anyone spiritually, because it has nothing to do with our nation. This is also due to the fact that any assistance provided to Albania by Turkey is not the personal property of President Erdogan, but the sweat and sacrifices of the Turkish people. It is imperative that whoever takes the pen to write verses or weave songs, applaud or try to glorify a personality who does not deserve them, actually does the opposite of them.
