Inhares lejk waqt li bilqeghda nkun,

nilmah il-faham jaqbad bil-mod, il mod....

.....sakemm f'huggiega sabiha narak,

nishon, nitkebbes u bil-hsieb ma nibqax nirtghod.

 

               In-nar jixghel jarmi dawl safrani,

               waqt li nibqa ccassat qisni belghani.

 

Ma nistax nifhem is-skiet ta' go fija,

Il-hemda msikkta liz-zjarat taghha huma spissi,

id-dieqa mkabbra w tiddominani,

bhal din il-fjamma, taqbad fl-akbar abbissi.

   

               Il-huggiega zzid fost it-tfaqqiegh tal-faham kiesah,

               u nibqa nhares lejk ghax mohhi fieragh.

 

Imma jien bezziegh mil-kotra,

umli, mahbub u minhiex kburi,

rrid nibqa umli, mahbub u bezzieghi,

biex il-ferh u d-dwejjaq inkompli nuri.

 

               Kemm nixtiq li jasal it-tmiem,

               biex f'qalbi zgur insib is-sliem.
