Ghaddew mija w sebghin sena,
minn dak inhar li rfist go rahalna,
u ghalkemm ghadda daz-zmien kollu,
ghadek b'dik il-harsa warajk issahharna.

Surtek mirquma, b'idek mghollija,
qed turi lid-dinja, b'subghajk il-werrej,
biex jindmu u jhejju t-triq ghall-Messija,
hemm bzonn tickien int biex jikber dak li gej.

Bi hsiebi mmur lura w nipprova nimmagina,
dak kollu li ghexu x-Xewkin f'dak il-jum,
li rawk l-ewwel darba gewwa t-toroq taghna,
kburin illi int ta rahalna patrun.

Illum inhoss lilna biex nigu nifirhu,
u inzommu hajja l-imhabba ghalik,
gewwa qalb kull Xewki, li thabbaT bil-qawwI,
kull meta din tisma lil min isemmik.
