“Fuq il-blata ġej u sejjer, fuq il-blata nerġa’ mmur. Għax hemmhekk għandi namrata, u xxejjirli bil-maktur. Ħanina, nitolbok ħaġa: Islifli ftit il-maktur! Dawk in-nies ma jkunux jafu, ’l ommok ma ngħidilhiex żgur.”

To the rock I come and go, on the rock I always walk, For I have my sweetheart there, and she waves to me with a handkerchief. Darling, one thing I ask of you: Lend me that handkerchief a while! Those people won’t even know, and I sure won’t tell your mum.
