Niko Peleshi loses his dear man/ Touching message about the departure of

Niko Pelesi

The head of the group of socialists, Niko Peleshi, has lost his dear man, his uncle Gjergji Peleshi, the well-known singer-songwriter from Korça.

In his touching message to the uncle and the artist, Peleshi remembers him as the beautiful and extraordinary man in his ordinary.

He writes that a generation died that left behind many memories, verses, melodies, advice and human values.

"Gjergji Peleshi and dozens of serenades from Korça will always sing with us, for Korça, for the flowers in the window, for the rose, for April coming in and the cherry blossoming, for the night that covers Korça, for the girl who opened the window slowly, for the sun as it makes its way to the west, for the goddess of beauty, for the eyes that are not found in the world, and finally they will say good night to us from up there, where they rest in peace, freed from the earthly ruins that sometimes spoiled their song ", writes Peleshi.

"Today, I want to share the pain of the loss of a man very dear to me, my uncle Gjergji Peleshi, with all those who knew him and those who listened to his song.

He was the last of four brothers to die, one of whom was my father. He was one of the last unique serenaders of our city.

A generation that dies to leave behind so many memories, verses, melodies, advice and human values.

Gjergji Peleshi was a beautiful man, extraordinary in his ordinary. Even when he ran out of words, he spoke in song, even when his voice was weak, he sang with soul.

The serenades were the last he remembered, as if to leave us the bequest that serenades are not to be forgotten, but to be inherited from generation to generation as messages of our identity core.

The beautiful spirit of this generation of boys from Korça has filled the air of this city with the aroma of love for the beautiful, which does not exhaust. This spirit wakes up as soon as you touch the strings of the guitar that you find in every corcara house.

Therefore, Gjergji Peleshi and dozens of Korça serenadeists will always sing with us, for Korça, for the flowers in the window, for the rose, for April that comes in and the cherry blossoms, for the night that covers Korça, for the girl who opened the window slowly, for the sun on its way to the west, for the goddess of beauty, for the eyes that are not found in the world, and in the end they will say good night to us from up there, where they rest in peace, freed from the earthly ruins that sometimes spoiled them the song.

Goodbye, Uncle Gjergji!", is Niko Peleshi's message to his uncle./ CNA
