The song is a heartbreaking ballad that gives voice to the Albanian (and universal) mother dealing with her children leaving in search of a “better life” – a painful and familiar theme in Balkan culture (emigration). The lyrics fluctuate between cruel reality and sweet memory: the mother is left alone in a house that was once filled with “warm noise,” books scattered on the floor, and children running through the halls, but has now become empty, cold, and silent. The song chillingly describes the trickery of longing and loneliness – the mother imagines she sees running shadows and hears laughter in the yard, but when she opens the window, no one is there. Out of habit, she finds herself making the beds for sleep, but her call remains unanswered. The chorus emphasizes the mother’s infinite loyalty and sacrifice: she remains almost frozen in time at the doorstep, counting the passing weeks and years (“This summer has already passed”), promising her children that even if the longing withers her soul, they should not feel sorry or worry—because Mother will always be there, waiting for their return.
