Rajtek hemm bil-qeghda
Bid-dahka sfurzata fuq fommok
B'ghajnejk imnikkta, miksura
Iharsu iccassati lejn il-figura
Ta' dik li tajtha imhabbtek
Ghalxejn ghax ma ridithiex
Ta' dik li dahlet go mohhok
Ghalxejn ghax ma ghogobhiex
U rajtha tiddiehak quddiemek
Ma' siehbek li int dejjem fdajt
Kwazi bdiet tinnamra mieghu
Izd'inti minn xejn ma ndunajt
Jew forsi hemm taht wara l-maskra
Bdejt twerzaq bhal wiehed mignun
Tishet lil min tajt imhabbtek
Ta' rabja u dwejjaq kagun
U jien hemmhekk nara kollox
Inutli ma nista naghmel xejn
Rajtek bil-qeghda quddiemi
Tiprova tirraguna "Ghalfejn?"

Brief translation: The author is looking at a scene where one of her male friends is sitting dumbly whilst his girlfriend is openly flirting with his best mate. She asks herself whether behind the calm mask that he's showing to the world, he's in fact ranting, raving and angrily cursing his love. She feels a helpless spectator, tries to communicate with her friend, but is regaled only with blank anguished looks that seem to ask "why?"
