The Travellers - Xemx u xita
Lyrics
Dawl, fil-kamra ġej mill-musbieħ,
id-dinja taħrab għal għonq it-triq,
U x-xemx torqod fejn ma jidhirx,
fuq xtajta oħra, biex tikxef l-art mis-silġ.
X'ħin terġa' lura fejn is-smewwiet,
nara pittura li kienet inħbiet,
U int kont fejni naraw flimkien,
minn wara t-tieqa rajna dinja mill-bidu bdiet.
Fix-xemx, fix-xita, fil-bard u n-nida
Fix-xemx, fix-xita fil-bard u n-nida
Fjura tikber minn bejn l-irmied,
il-qamar waqa' u sar biċċiet.
Fejn tħoss il-qalb dejjem hemm l-uġieh,
li tara l-għajn huwa biss it-tmiem.
Fix-xemx, fix-xita, fil-bard u n-nida
Fix-xemx, fix-xita fil-bard u n-nida
Lyrics (in English)
Light, in the room comes from a lamp,
the world escaping along the road,
And the sun sleep where it cannot be seen,
on another beach, to uncover land from the ice.
When you return where the skies are,
I see a painting that was hidden,
And you where near me, seeing together,
Behind the window we saw a world, from the beginning started.
In the sun, in the rain, in the cold and in the dew
In the sun, in the rain in the cold and in the dew
Flower growing between the ashes,
the moon fell and became pieces.
Where the heart hurts, it is always painful,
What the eye see is just the end.
In the sun, in the rain, in the cold and in the dew
In the sun, in the rain in the cold and in the dew
