Ghaddew…

Ghaddew

Sekondi, minuti, sieghat,

Granet, xhur u snin,

U illum inhares lura u nara,

Cpar iswed, dens, mifrux,

U niftakar biss ucuh fil-boghod,

Ismijiet u kliem imferxa,

U nahseb fil-present li harab,

Sar passat u thallat mal-bqija,

U nghix b’ghajnejja maghluqa,

Imbezza mill-futur present,

U kultant niftah widnejja,

Biex nisma il-krib tal-ugigh,

U ksibt sens ta disorjentament,

Straordinarju ezagerat maz-zmien.

Ghaddew…

Sekondi, minuti, sieghat,

Granet, xhur u snin,

U hallewni hawn inhares,

Lejn spazju vojt infit iswed,

U telqu bhal ziffa sajfijja,

Hafifa bhal berqa,

U hekk kif qomt kaxkritni,

Mal-kurrent kiefer salvagg,

U issa f’mohhi hemm kelma,

Wahda, kbira,

Ghaddew…
