G
When Albania was young the praises were sung
C D G
Of a man with a heart of gold
G
And of his bravery and fight against slavery
C D G
A million stories were told
G
A man so ideologically
C D G
Correct beyond compare
G
Albania he did liberate
C D G
And became a hero there
[Chorus]
G
And we'll sing the praises of Enver (Enver)
D G
Enver, Enver Hoxha
G
And we'll sing for his big flounder,
C D G
Tristan is his name
[Verse 2]
G
In '44 he won the war
C D G
Against the fascist invading army
G
Then he rounded up the revisionist scum
C D G
And turned them into salami
G
And then he stood on Albania's crest
C D G
With one mighty sweep of his arm
G
He touched every loyal Albanian breast
C D G
When he founded a halibut farm
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
G
And the halibuts grew and Albanians knew
C D G
The land would be ever in peace
G
As the annual production ratios
C D G
Of the tractor factories increased
G
Comrade Enver went up to the great big
C D G
Power station in the sky
G
But he left a glorious legacy
C D G
That no one could deny
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
G
Then the traitor Gorbachev came along
C D G
And the Soviet Union fell
G
And glorious Albania was turned into
C D G
Capitalistic hell
G
Poverty, starvation wrack the land
C D G
Albanians cry as one,
G
"Forgive us Comrade Enver
C D G
For we know not what we've done."
[Chorus]
G C
And we'll sing the praises of Enver (Enver)
D G
Enver, Enver Hoxha
G C
We'll sing for his big flounder
C D
Tristan is his name
G C
We'll sing the praises of Enver (Enver)
D G
Enver, Enver Hoxha
G C
And we'll sing for his big flounder
C
Tristan, Tristan,
D G
Tristan, Tristan, Tristan is his name
D G
Enver!
