X'jiswa li jkollok but liri,

galadarba m'intiex kuntent?

Il-ferh w l-paci jileminaw l-lussu

kif ukoll il-kappricci u d-divertiment.

 

X'jiswa li tipprova thobb in-nisa,

galadarba diga maqghud f'rabta soda?

L-imhabba sinciera teghleb kull ostaklu,

anke meta minn martek titbieghed.

 

X'jiswa li tikkundanna ghemil haddiehor,

galadarba ghemilek huwa kkundannat?

Tobghod lil ghajrek u tghakkas lil fqir,

Taqseb li qed tghix hieni u ffortunat?

 

X'jiswa li nintrabtu mal-hajja taghna,

galadarba jrid jasal il-jum it-tmiem,

il-boghod johduna x'imkien fid-dlam,

wahedna maqfula minghajr sliem.
