A couple of years ago I was complaining about the difficulties of finding anything in Albanian on-line.
It's even harder to find anything in Maltese!
I get the feeling that Maltese people want to safeguard their language, so that no foreigners can mutilate it with their petty efforts to speak it.
I read this about dubbed movies... and I remembered the difficulties in getting my greedy hands on Il-Fiddien series. I had to go to Maltese bookshops on-line and... well... it wasn't as easy as I thought it should be. After all, Malta is part of EU. It should be in the interests of EU to see people could learn all Maltese they want to. (Well, there is a lot of official texts translated in every EU language, so that could be used to learn Maltese, but... It's boring. News, EU documents and the Bible. *sigh*)
Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame
Seħer ta’ qalbi
My heart’s magic
Dawwalli l-jiem ta’ ħajti
Enlighten the days of my life
Warrabni mid-dlamijiet
Keep me away from darkness
Leħen fis-skiet
A voice in the silence
Tama ta’ dejjem
Forever hope
Għallimni nagħzel toroq il-ġejjien
Teach me to choose the roads of my future
Għaddejt mis-sabiħ
I went through bright days
Għaddejt miż-żmien ikraħ
I went through bad time
Kull trejqa ppruvajt
I tried every road
Ħsibt li fhimt id-destin
I thought I understood destiny
Salpajt l-ilmijiet
I sailed the waters
Infittex xortija
Searching for my luck
Intlift fuq il-mewġ
I got lost on the waves
Nal-kurrent
In the currents
Sakemm fuq xefaq skur
Until in the dark horizon
Deħer id-dawl mixtieq
I saw the longing light
Inemnem fil-bogħod
Flickering afar
Bħal kewba f’nofs id-dlam
Like a star amidst the dark
Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame
Agħtini dawlek dejjiem
Give me forever light
Seħer ta’ qalbi
My heart’s magic
Dawwalli l-jiem ta’ ħajti
Enlighten the days of my life
Warrabni mid-dlamijiet
Keep me away from the darkness
Leħen fis-skiet
A voice in the silence
Urini triqti l’ quddiemShow me the way for my future
Tama ta’ dejjem
Forever hope
Għallimni nagħzel toroq il-ġejjienTeach me choose the roads of my future
Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame
Seħer ta’ qalbi
My heart’s magic
Dawwalli l-jiem ta’ ħajti
Enlighten the days of my life
Warrabni mid-dlamijiet
Keep me away from darkness
Leħen fis-skiet
A voice in the silence
Tama ta’ dejjem
Forever hope
Għallimni nagħzel toroq il-ġejjien
Teach me to choose the roads of my future
Għaddejt minn ħolmiet
I went through the dreams
Passat fantasiji
A past of fantasies
Ħarist lejn l-uċuh
I looked at faces
Rajt biss maskri mżejnin
I saw decorated masks
Inċedi ma ridtx
I didn’t want to give up
Fittixt, għarrixt u qallibt
I searched, looked for and explored
Kont waħdi fil-folla
Alone in the crowd
Ħadd ma kien ħabib
No one was a friend
Sa ma tbissimli ż-żmien
Until the time smiled back to me
U sibt l-oħla kenn
And I found the best shelter
Ma nafx jeżistix
I don’t know if there really exists
Bħall-wens li tajtni int
A shelter like the one you gave me
Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame
Seħer ta’ qalbi
My heart’s magic
Dawwalli l-jiem ta’ ħajti
Enlighten the days of my life
Warrabni mid-dlamijiet
Keep me away from darkness
Leħen fis-skiet
A voice in the silence
Tama ta’ dejjem
Forever hope
Għallimni nagħzel toroq il-ġejjien
Teach me to choose the roads of my future
Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame
Seħer ta’ qalbi
My heart’s magic
Dawwalli l-jiem ta’ ħajti
Enlighten the days of my life
Warrabni mid-dlamijiet
Keep me away from darkness
Leħen fis-skiet
A voice in the silence
Tama ta’ dejjem
Forever hope
Għallimni nagħzel toroq il-ġejjien
Teach me to choose the roads of my future
Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame
Agħtini dawlek dejjiemGive me forever light
Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame
Urini triqti l’quddiem Show me the way for my future
Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame

Fjamma bla tmiem
Endless flame
