   • 1970, Anton Buttigieg, “Il-Pjazza”, in Fl-Arena:

     Kulħadd jimxi, kollox lajma,
     jirkeb biss xi sinjur kbir:
     bini l-għatx u tawni nixrob
     minn ġos-satal fuq il-bir.
     

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)

   • 1949, Anton Buttigieg, “Ir-Riħ u l-Bnazzi”, in Mill-Gallerija ta’ Żgħożiti:

     Ħarbat, mewwet dawk id-dwieli,
     wild il-għaraq tal-ħaddiem,
     żomm il-fqir ġol-gorboġ waħdu,
     u bla ħobż, bla dawl, bla sliem!

     Destroy, kill those vines,
     the offspring of the worker’s sweat,
     keep the poor man in the hovel alone,
     without bread, without light, without peace!
