Xhemail Hasani (1908–6 May 1945), known as Xhem Hasa and Xhem Gostivari, was an Albanian nationalist and Axis collaborator, in charge of the Balli Kombëtar's activities in the western regions of Yugoslav Macedonia, a part of Yugoslavia occupied by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany during World War II.
The Balli Kombëtar (literally National Front), known as Balli, was an Albanian fascist collaborationist and anti-communist movement during the Second World War. It was led by Ali Këlcyra and by Midhat Frashëri, who is often referred to as the father of Albanian nationalism. The movement was formed by members from the landowning elite, liberal nationalists opposed to communism and other sectors of society in Albania. The motto of the Balli Kombëtar was: "Shqipëria Shqiptarëve, Vdekje Tradhëtarëve" (Albania for the Albanians, Death to the Traitors). Eventually the Balli Kombëtar joined the Nazi established puppet government and fought as an ally against communist guerrilla groups.
Lyrics:
me za tlart thrret zana e malit
po ku je oh xhem gostivari
kushtrim lshoni gjith vatani
tfala qon bedri pejani
mos e ndal luften or vlla 2x
se me shkaun bes nuk ka 2x
liri thrret tetova e sharri
pushka tlumt xhem gostivari
gjak pollogut i rin vatani
lar me gjak ne fush tmejdanit 2x
kush ket tok me prek s'guxoj
nami yt bac e pervloj
si rrufe e rxoj te prem
flaka e pushkes baces xhem
hidhet shqipja nluft per smbari 2x
ball vatanit xhem gostivari 2x
liri thrret tetova e sharri
pushka tlumt xhem gostivari
gjak pollogut i rin vatani
lar me gjak ne fush tmejdanit 2x
