Nexhmije Pagarusha (born 7 May 1933) is an Albanian singer and actress from Kosovo.
Her musical creative work lasted for almost 40 years, and it is very hard to say, which genre she belongs to, because she sang almost all of them. Her interpretations in folk music were exactly as perfect as her interpretations in the classic music, especially opera. Pagarusha is loved by the music critics and adored from the music admirers. She is called Bilbili i Kosovës (Nightingale of Kosovo), queen of Albanian music, Madam Butterfly, etc.
The song Baresha (The Sheperdess) is one of her most popular songs. It was composed by her husband, Rexho Mulliqi and the text was written by Rifat Kukaj. Pagarusha played in many theatre stages and movies and also as an actress she won many prizes.




The Sheperdess

I was grown up among these mountains
together with lambs and sheep
with nightingales among the grove
after the bells, play and joy
like my eagle

o flower of grass wind-o nanina
o come my friends let's play-o nanina
o the field is dressing up with laughter-o nanina
the mountain is shaking, what happened??
the shepherds play with joy

to many bells sounds
high in the sky, the mountain of snow
on the mountains love comes more goods
today a flared shank.
