MISS OF FREEDOM
In the world
Full competitions are held for Miss,
Where human eyes marvel with the feminine beauty.
My land, the land of The Arber
Another competition,
From the old,
Re-covered by greatness!
Miss in sacrifice: For life, for language, For Continuity, for the Future and above all FOR FREEDOM!
There is no one, not two.
Like flowers to spring.
In our nation, when winter is at risk!
And misses
They have names!
I call you, let me call you a name.
ANTIGONA! It’s Dardan,
It’s And OURS.
