This duet by Ali Bajram and an unnamed female singer enacts a heavy conversation between a brother and a sister. The brother went far away to work and build a life. But their mother fell sick with sorrow.

The sister calls with a heart-wrenching โ€œSheโ€™s sick.โ€ This is probably one of the strongest openings of a song weโ€™ve ever heard. It makes everything around you disappear as you listen to her words.
