Solitudni

Waħdi f'tarf ta' rdum
mingħajr ħadd li jista' jwaqqafni
bla ħadd li jrid jgħidli:
'Għaliex?  kuraġġ ħanini'

Il-Mulej li tilifni
u spiċċajt waħdi
l-maħbub li telaqni
waħdi.  F'oċean.

Oċean ta' niket
mgħodija mdemma'
ruħ mġarrfa
bla ma jien qatt ridt

iva waħdi
ngħum f'labirint
ta' kif u meta u għaliex
Fehmni trid?

Tħallinix aktar waħdi
Mel'insejtha l-eżistenza tiegħi?
raġel maħbub
għaliex tħallini waħdi?

Imma aħjar le
ma nsaqsix.  nibża
għax nibqa' waħdi
waħdi
         mas-skiet tal-lejl
         u l-ġenn tal-jum.

changes

The Ring that changed my life
the wind that brought new breeze
the rain which fell over me
and changed me and made me feel at ease

It happened all abruptly
without giving me any notice
without having any motive
with nothing in the way

the rain poured all over me
washed my soul inside out
and what was once apathy
turned into faith and love

three little diamonds
become my dearest friends
as they have become my window
to the winds of change

head over the heels

i wanna be the shoulder
for you to lean on me
i'll be by your side
for you to feel at ease

you're the one I'm crying over
all over and again
more than once daily
the reason's a despair

afraid of the consequences
of what might eventually arise
my heart's deepest secret
is just left too much aside

and as i sit beside you
i wonder what you feel
i wish you wish just like me
and show me what it means

for you to have me near you
just smiling, gazing, wondering,
what you mean by smiling
whilst joking and whilst grumbling

how boring i may be
how utterly exasperating
but while you are complaining
remember i'm still dreaming.

but it's so complicated
i wish it was just better
but time has run out bitterly
as i watched our story dismally.

shadow

I have been your shadow

All the way through

even though you ignored me

cause of you know who

I have watched all your sorrow

From behind the bars

That’s where you left me

With tears in my eyes

But as weeks gone over it

And months have survived

I had to be likewise

And let life stroll by

Despise have frozen the tears that I cried

And time taught me how to revive

but now its your turn to learn to survive

And let it get over and start living the life

Just wait for the weeks and months to stroll by

Until you will find your next goodbye

Then maybe you'll watch sorrow

From behind the bars

The place where they'll leave you

With tears in your eyes

And you'll be the shadow

All the way through

Even though ignored

Because of

                      Who knows who?

ghax jien midneb

Stajt nisma' l-għajta tal-umanità
tibki u twerżaq għall-fideltà
mitluf bħallikieku b'magħmul
u maż-żmien baqa' xejn mhu mibdul

Imma lil hinn mill-mogħdrija
tismani nibki bħal tarbija
għax irrid inkun dak li minix
jien dak li 'l quddiem ma nimxix

l-għajta ġejja minn ġo fija
xewqa tal-bidla - tmiem it-tbatija
passività u nuqqas t'enerġija
dejjem ninħeba bil-mistħija

F'tarf irdum mimli ħtija
dak li jibki għat-tjubija
maħfra biss hi mistennija
fi tmiem ħajja ta' kefrija
