Albania in Junior Eurovision 2025: Kroni Pula with “Fruta Perime”

Hailing from Tirana, Kroni Pula began displaying a love for music at the age of four. Her parents made sure to let this talent thrive and enrolled her in training. For Kroni, music is the most beautiful way to express emotions and connect with others.

Kroni earned the ticket to Junior Eurovision by winning Shkodër’s Festivali Mbarëkombëtar i Këngës Për Fëmijë. It was her first time performing on a stage that big, and the opportunity to represent Albania is a dream come true for the young artist.

What do the “Fruta Perime” lyrics mean?

“Fruta Perime” is a light-hearted song about the everyday battle between healthy choices and tempting treats. Kroni sings about loving ice cream, chocolate and snacks — but also acknowledges the importance of fruits, vegetables, vitamins and proteins.

The lyrics capture a very relatable moment for kids: mum says “no”, but the cravings say “yes”. The playful call-and-response sections between “you want them” and “mum says no” show the tug-of-war between wanting sweets and knowing you should eat healthy food instead.

In the bridge, Kroni jokingly declares they’re becoming a vegetarian “elegant like Rihanna”, mixing pop culture jokes with nutrition references like vitamins A, B, C and D — and even magnesium and eggs.

Overall, the song delivers a fun message: enjoy treats, but remember that fruits and veggies keep you strong, energised and ready to “shine bright”.

Albanian text

Akullore akullore ha
Lloj e lloj me shije frutash ka
Nuk ka ditë që nuk ha zarzavate
Ama, i shijoj me burger dhe patate

Cokollata cokollata ha
Me lajthi e luleshtrydhe ka
Nuk ka dite qe nuk marr vitamina
I shijoj me pata patatina

Ti i do, ti i do, ti i do
Po mami na thotë jo
(Ne si duam jo jo jo)
Dhe ti i do dhe ti i do dhe ti i do
Nuk ka faj ajo
(Ha më mirë këto), po po

Te gjithe

Fruta perime
Të gjalla të zime
Perime dhe fruta
Të forta të buta

Qe nga sot vegjetariana
Elegante si rihanna
Dua pica krepa mama
Cokokrem edhe banana

A dhe B
Vitamina
C dhe D
Proteina
Dhe pak magnez
Edhe vez
Se do e ndez ndez ndez

English translation

Ice cream, I eat ice cream
All kinds with fruity flavours
There’s no day I don’t eat vegetables
But I enjoy them with burger and fries

Chocolate, chocolate, I eat
With hazelnut and strawberry sweet
There’s not a day I skip my vitamins
I love them with chips and crisps

You like them, you like them, you like them
But mum tells us no
(We don’t want them, no no no)
And you like them, and you like them, and you like them
She’s not wrong
(Eat these instead), yes yes

All together:

Fruits and vegetables
Fresh and juicy
Vegetables and fruits
Hard ones, soft ones

From today I’m vegetarian,
Elegant like Rihanna,
I want pizza, crepes, mama,
Choco cream and banana.

A and B
Vitamins
C and D
Proteins
And a bit of magnesium
And some eggs
‘Cause I’ll turn up, turn up, turn up!
