Nissabbar nissakkar
F'dil hajja li tfakkar
Kif jghaddi z zmien berqa
Jitbissem bis serqa
Lejn min xi ftit bhali
Jbahhar fil holm
Locking myself
in this life that reminds me
how fast time flies
and gives a half hearted smile
to those who like me sail
the seas of their dreams
A smile that lies
on a heavy heart
acknowledging the grip
of the cage of life
that opens the gates to
to hope and plans
but also blows out
some some flames
that come past its way
F'dil hajja li tfakkar
Kif jghaddi z zmien berqa
Jitbissem bis serqa
Lejn min xi ftit bhali
Jbahhar fil holm
Tbissima giddieba
Fuq qalb kolla dieqa
Ghax taghraf
Li l gagga tal hajja
Giddieba
Fuq qalb kolla dieqa
Ghax taghraf
Li l gagga tal hajja
Giddieba
Ghax waqt li bieb tiftah
Ta sabar u fwieha
Taf taghlaq u ssakkar u titfi
Tal holma ix xemgha
Li tinzerta f'riha.
(loose english translation)
Consoling myself Locking myself
in this life that reminds me
how fast time flies
and gives a half hearted smile
to those who like me sail
the seas of their dreams
A smile that lies
on a heavy heart
acknowledging the grip
of the cage of life
that opens the gates to
to hope and plans
but also blows out
some some flames
that come past its way
