Only a night

Today we have an Albanian song, Vetëm një nat' – and as I look for the video I find another video with an extra verse, wonder what that says… –, which gives this post its title. I met this as I googled vetëm vs. vetem in the context of corrections to the Albanian version here, and then I worked on it a hell of a lot, and many Quora questions and answers later, I have lyrics and a translation, and I decided to make a Min version and an English version. The former was made between 23/11/20 and 24/11, with a tweak on 25/11, the latter entirely on 25/11/20. The parts in English were always left untranslated. I lost the distinction between "standard" Albanian and dialect parts. The apostrophes mark ë's that are left unpronounced in singing. The ɨ is because ndal would be present and the past, which is what I'd expect based on context, would be ndali, but there's no i in the singing. 27/11/20 14:32 drafting this I see «快来改变， / 咱的这段歹运» doesn't fit the tune too well, so I tweak it. 14:46 same goes for «我曾想欲坐 / 真济的飞机». Also, 双人 is an adjective, so it's not right in there, fixed 15:01. No idea why I switched from pò-tí to tsûn-sú 遵守 in chorus 2 where the former was required for the rhyme. Fixing it 15:35. [I suppose fixing «承诺保持啊» to its current form in chorus 1 was done on the same date.]
UPDATE I then investigated the extra verse, and decided to translate it too, and mingle the two versions. I did the translation into English on 4/12/20 between 21:43 and 22:03, and the Min one on 5/12/20 between 19:59 and 20:19. I decided to assign it to the lady, which in the first version is Alida. Adding verse two in, I change 在恁生活 to start with 伫 at 12:45. Let's see it!
