Gjergj Fishta


Born
in Fishtë, Albania
October 23, 1871

Died
December 30, 1940

Genre


Born in Fishtë, Dajç, Lezhë, Albania (then Ottoman Empire), Fishta studied philosophy and Catholic theology in Bosnia. In 1902, he became the head of the Franciscan gymnasium in Shkodër. Fishta was under influence of Franciscan monks as a student in monasteries in Austria-Hungary, when he wrote his main work Lahuta e Malcis, influenced by the national epics of the Croatian and Montenegrin literature.

Fishta participated and was elected for president of the committee in the Congress of Monastir (today Bitola in Macedonia, then Ottoman Empire) held in 1908. Participants of the congress accepted Fishta's proposal for the Latin Bashkimi alphabet to be the standard Albanian alphabet, rejecting proposals that the Arabic alphabet be used.

“Por i urti kurr nuk ngutet,
Prej burrnís e jo prej tutet”
Gjergj Fishta, The Highland Lute

“Ndihmò, Zot, si m’kè ndihmue!
Pesëqind vjet kishin kalue
Çëse të buk'rën ketë Shqypni
Turku e mbate në robnì,
Krejt tu' e là t' mjerën në gjak,
Frymën tue ia xanun njak,
E as tu' e lanë, jo, dritë me pà:
Kurr të keqen pa ia dà:
Rrihe e mos e lèn me kjà:
Me iu dhimbtë, po, minit n' murë,
Me iu dhimbtë gjarpnit nën gurë!”
Gjergj Fishta, The Highland Lute

“Turku fjalën e ka ndì':
Se ç'asht mbushë ai me mënì!
Se edhe lëshue ç'ka mbi Shqipnì,
Gjallë Shqiptarët ai me i përpì!
Por Shqiptari gjallë s'përpihej,
E as me u shkelë, besà, s'po lihej,
Kur po i mbushej mendja e vet,
Për Shqipnì me bà gajret,
N' dashtë ta mësyjnë Krajl edhe Mbret.”
Gjergj Fishta
