Il-Mahzen

(English translation below)

Il-Mahzen

Issa li hlejna kull sekonda

U l-mahzen vojt

Nistghu naghtu dahrna lil xulxin

U nfittxu hwejjeg ohra

Biex nghaddu z-zmien.

Ma nafx int, ghaziz,

Izda jien ser ninxtehet quddiem arlogg

U nishtu talli qarraq bija

Ghax iz-Zmien ma jitkejjilx

Bis-sighat, minuti u sekondi

Izda bil-mumenti battala bla tama

Sakemm nerga ninghaqad mieghek.

The Warehouse

Now that every second has been wasted
And the warehouse is empty
We can turn our backs on our past
And look for other things
To kill time.

I don't know about you, my dear,
But I will find a clock
And curse him for his deception
For Time is not measured
In hours, minutes and seconds
But in empty moments without hope
Until I see you once again.
