WHEN THE HUSBAND COMES... [ALBANIAN URBAN LYRIC SONG IN THE 1930s]

My attempt to explain to a foreign friend the meaning of this Albanian citizenship song, succeeded half (great emotions always interrupt my linearity!).
But, to my surprise, it was him who commented his impressions listening to diva Tefta Tashko:
"it reminds me pieces of rarely Asian music (probably theatrical or drama), like tunes sung maybe during a trip to meet her lover (or waiting at home for him), with that feminine erotic attraction, typical to people with excessive passion in their life...".
