Liston - "Mela"
Mela
(U mela, mela, mela)
(U mela, mela, mela)
(U mela, mela, mela, mela, mela, mela, mela)
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
Tlaqna b'ġirja, ġejja 'l fuq sal-palk, hux
Qed tistenna, ejja għafas il-gass u suq
Illum hawn għada le, flimkien tlaqna 'l fuq
Bit-tgergir mhux se naslu jekk ħa tibda tgħix, ħuh
Let's do it together, together we're green
Ħares lejn ta' ħdejk u ħudlu b'idejh
Let's share peace, love, and say no to hate
Let's sing all together, u mela, mela
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
Jiena kburi li niktellem bil-Malti pur
They told me please speak in English għax m'għandekx futur
Please take my phone here, you can just translate
And you can take me a photo so we can update
Social media's like an encyclopedia
U ftit trid tistenni to know if your neighbor swipe the visa
He bought a new car and also frame of Mona Lisa
Għamillu like u share ħalli jtella' n-numri ħija
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
Apprezza l-artist
Believe in your skills
Apprezza l-pajjiż
U kul xi pastizz
Apprezza l-ħoss
Press play and no pause
Il-mużika tgħaqqad
Peace, love and no ѕtop
U mela, mela, mela
U mela, mela, mela
U mela, mela, mela, mela, mela, mela, mela

(And so, so, so)
(And so, so, so, so, so, so, so)
And so, so
And so, so, hey
And so, so
This is the cry of the Maltese
And so, so
Hold each others' hands
And so, so
Before our time runs out
Let's go, right onto the stage, yeah
You're waiting, step on the gas and drive
We're here today, gone tomorrow, let's go together
You can't live your life by complaining, bro
Let's do it together, together we're green
Look to the person next to you and shake their hand
Let's share peace, love, and say no to hate
Let's sing all together, and so, so
And so, so
And so, so, hey
And so, so
This is the cry of the Maltese
And so, so
Hold each others' hands

This is the cry of the Maltese
And so, so
Hold each others' hands
And so, so
Before our time runs out
I'm proud to speak in pure Maltese
They told me please speak in English because you don't have a bright future
Please take my phone here, you can just translate
And you can take me a photo so we can update
Social media's like an encyclopedia
And you have to wait a bit to know if your neighbor swipe the visa
He bought a new car and also frame of Mona Lisa
Press like and share so he gets more views bro
And so, so
And so, so, hey
And so, so
This is the cry of the Maltese
And so, so
Hold each others' hands
And so, so
Before our time runs out
And so, so

And so, so
Hold each others' hands
And so, so
Before our time runs out

Qed tistenna, ejja għafas il-gass u suq
Illum hawn għada le, flimkien tlaqna 'l fuq
Bit-tgergir mhux se naslu jekk ħa tibda tgħix, ħuh
Ejja nagħmluha flimkien, flimkien aħna ġodda
Ħares lejn ta' ħdejk u ħudlu b'idejh
Ejja naqsmu l-paċi, l-imħabba, u ma ngħidux mibegħda
Ejja nkantaw flimkien, u mela, mela
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin

Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
Jiena kburi li niktellem bil-Malti pur
Qaluli jekk jogħġbok tkellem bl-Ingliż għax m'għandekx futur
Jekk jogħġbok ħudli t-telfon hawnhekk, kull ma għandek bżonn tittraduċi
U tista' teħodli ritratt biex b'hekk inkunu nistgħu naġġornaw
Il-midja soċjali qisha enċiklopedija
U ftit trid tistenna biex tkun taf jekk il-ġar tiegħek ma użahx il-viża
Jekk xtarax karozza ġdida jew anki gwarniċ tal-Mona Lisa
Agħmillu 'jgħoġobni' u 'aqsam' ħalli jtella' n-numri ħija
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
Apprezza l-artist
Emmen fil-ħiliet tiegħek
Apprezza l-pajjiż
U kul xi pastizz
Apprezza l-ħoss
Agħfaѕ 'play' u l-ebda pawża
Il-mużika tgħaqqad
Paċi, imħabba u bla waqfien
U mela, mela, mela
U mela, mela, mela
U mela, mela, mela, mela, mela, mela, mela
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dal-ħin
U mela, mela
U mela, mela, ħej
U mela, mela
Din l-għajta tal-Maltin
U mela, mela
Żommu idejn xulxin
U mela, mela
Qabel jgħaddilna dаl-ħin
