lyrics

Tamietna fuq dahar it-Tramuntana baħħarna lejn Sqallija
Jekk tmissna x-xorti sal-llejla ghandha tfiġġ Pantelleria
Deffes imnieħru l-Punent u spiċċajna fuq dil-Gżira
Xi wħud laqawna oħrajn tathom ferneżiija
Ħarġu fit-toroq jgħajjtu qajjmu l-midinba ta’ Kastilja
Il-lingwa nstemgħet familjari u ttantajt nagħmel stqarrija
Jiena Musadebi Dauda minn tal-Avorju L-Kosta
Ġejt biex nisirqilkhom xogħlkhom u niklilkhom xi tarbija

Tefgħuni taħt tinda kbira tonda
Tawni larinġa qarsa u sodda ftit skomda
Saħnu l-irjus xejjru l-idejn,
Kien hemm min weġġa
Kull ma kelli tajtu lill-gwardjan li ippuntali
Lejn toqba fil-grada u minnha jien parpart

Fittixt il-kenn sibt flat fit-tielet sular go blokka l-Gżira
Sid il-kera wiegħedni mhux ser jgħafasni jekk nagħmillu
daqsxejn ta’ pjaċir zgħir, kwarta kollox kull nhar ta’ Tnejn filgħaxija
Xogħli għamiltu tajjeb tant li spiċċajt akkwistajt Visa
niċċelebra mort fl-ewwel Club li sibt, fil-bieb għamlu għalija
Staqsejt għaliex, ma weġbunix u minflok daħħlu Olandiża

L’għadha sbaħt il-Belt
Kelli bżonn tibdilha
Fil-bieb reġgħu laqgħuni
Mingħajr ħjiel ta’tbissima
Qaluli għalik m’għandna xejn u jien ħarist lejn il-vetrina
U ntbaħt li mal-iswed ma jaqbel xejn

Sibt impjieg imħallas ħażin nongor il-ġebel ġo barriera
Sfurzajt, tqanżaħt, il-bajd kissirt biex forsi ndawwar lira
Sħabi għammduni mitejn darba iżda fl-aħħar laqgħuni
Għax miksi bl-għabra tal-franka sirt abjad u issa drawni
U bis-saħħa ta Muhammed sibt tfajla kerha iżda ħanina
Tliet snin ilu żżewwigna ftit xhur wara waslet tarbija

Għandha għajnejn ommha, mnieħer missierha
Ta’ Muhammed l-imħabba ta’Kristu l-ħniena
U l-ewwel kelma li lissnet kienet Maltija
Daqs l-erbgħa u sittin u d-disgħa u sebgħin.
