✠ The old people of Korça remember well the day of the founding of the "Lira" Choir, just like the day the flag was raised. Kori Lira, this name so old contains in itself the treasure of the songs of the city becoming the only symbol of the civic song of Korça. The choir "Lira" was formed around the years 1917 - 1922 as a continuation of instrumental-choral formations and groups of that time "Djelmeria Korçare", "Army Choir". The press of the time says that the first concert of this choral group was given together with the band "Vatra" in the city gym on October 22, 1922, a date which was called by the people of Korça as the day of the founding of this group. After 1928, this group was led by a young music professor who had completed his higher studies at the Bucharest Conservatory, Mr. Sotir Kozmo. He worked as a professional to increase the quality of the group but he also has the merit because he set up the first choral group with girls in the city of Korça. The main merit in this development was the youth of Korça, as well as those who wrote the lyrics and composed music for them such as: Mihal Grameno, Thoma Nasi, Spiridon Ilo, Koli Rodhe, Mihal Ballkameni and many others who have remained anonymous. During these 83 years of its existence, the group has existed more than 200 patriotic, lyrical and satirical songs of the Korça region. ✠
Lyrics:
O trima luftëtarë
Oh, brave warriors
O bij të Skënderbeut
Oh sons of Skanderbeg
Kërkoni shqipetarë lirinë e mëmëdheut
Albanians, ask for the freedom of the motherland
Se mjaft në robëri
Because enough in slavery
O e mjera Shqiperi
Oh wretched Albania
O djem rrëmbeni pushkët-ë
Oh boys grab your rifles
Ja vdekje ja liri
Freedom or death
Sot lipset me flamurë
with flag is required today
Malit të dalim-ë
Let's go to the mountains
Përmbi shkëmbinjë e gurë
Over rocks and stones
Lirinë të ngjallim-ë
Freedom to revive
T’ju urrej o shokë kjo jetë
Don't you hate this life, my friends
T’ju urrej kjo robëri
Don't you hate this slavery
Qysh e duroni vetë
How do you endure
Shqipërinë pa liri.
Albania without freedom.
Ju mbetet-ë në zgjedhë
you have to choose
Kur bota lulëzon
When the world thrives
Po Shqipërinë e mjerë
But poor Albania
Zemra s’ja u kujton.
The heart doesn't remind you.
