Kwadru Mħabba

Kwadru għandi jien id-dar!
Noqgħod quddiemu lejl u nhar.
Jogħġobni u wisq prezzjuż għalija.
Mhux biss gġax kienet tagħtuli z-zija,

Iżda għax fuqu hemm żewġ maħbubin
Bir-reqqa kollha huma mpittrin.
Ħelu l-għarus u fuq tiegħu,
U l-maħbuba mgħannqa miegħu.

Mixħutin fuq bank ta’ kulur u mħabba,
Ġo ġuf l-għarusa tarbija qed titrabba.
Miraklu t’Alla li ġara bi żball?
Iżda li issa dnub jekk jinħall?

Inħalluha tgħix qed jgħidilha l-għarus,
Hekk kif hi fuqu ddur u lilu tbus.
Tfajla sbejħa għad trid issir.
Hawnhekk it-tnejn qed jieħdu pja`ir!

Jidhru kuntenti huma t-tnejn b’xulxin,
Aħjar milli kieku qedgħin f’xi każin!
Fi ġnien qedgħin, fid-dalma tal-lejl.
Fejn ma jifridhom ħadd u xej’.

L-imħabba, il-bews u l-passjoni
Qed iqanqlu fija l-emozzjoni.
U dlonk fik niftakar jien.
Tifhem li nħobbok maż-żmien?

Dan il-kwadru għalija hu simbolu tagħna.
Avolja kieku t-tarbija ma tkunx magħna.
Tlaqna, immorru magħhom fil-ġnien?
Ħalli jseħħ dak li għalija miktub kien?



Out of this world!

Calmness, tranquillity one summer night.
Two lovers holding each other tight.
Their love to declare no words they use.
Silence reigns so as not to confuse.

Thinking of when they first met each other.
Thinking of when she will become a mother.
Thoughts from the future and the past.
Both know true love, never heard of lust.

He closes his eyes, thinking of her.
Whenever he needs her, she will be there.
She is everything: his heart, his mind!
God never created one of her kind!

Wishing here with him forever to stay,
She looks at the horizon far away.
She cannot help an escaping tear,
Knowing that she need never fear.

He loves her, he is always by her side.
From each other, nothing they hide.
There is a bond between the two,
Bordered by a special, golden hue.

Out of this world they belong.
Their true love is so strong.
It will never die, but grow more and more.
A love so deep, never seen before.

As they experience the joy love brings,
The two lovers spread out their wings.
And two angels then fly high,
And disappear as they reach the sky.
