     Niftakar
     tal-qniepen il-mota ferrieħa,
     u l-Ave Maria ta’ Schubert
     taż-żahar il-fwieħa
     u l-għafsa ta’ driegħek ma’ driegħi,
     u l-ħeġġa ta’ wiċċek ħamrani,
     u l-mantar bajdani
     jitkaxkar mal-qiegħa
     tal-korsija:
     id-dija u d-dawl tal-parilja,
     il-ħsejjes taż-żwiemel għaddejja,
