Il-Mera Taż-Żogħżija

(English lyrics available) - Maltese - [Verse] Kif tista' tara dirett min ġo fija Tant żgħira, u xorta l-ħajra tifhimha Kemm ngħir għat-tfulija tiegħek Dejjem fuq moħħi wara doċċa Almenu wara dan kollu għadni niftakrek M'hemmx ħafna li salvaw il-bidla Nixtieq inkun hemm miegħek f'darek Dejjem fuq idi inħoss ġibda [bridge] Qamar, Ibqa' magħna Għal-ftit oħra żomm ix-xemx milli titla' sabiex ittawwal il-ġurnata [Chorus] Nilħaq biex nomxotlek xagħrek Waqt li tagħtini dahrek Għadni niftakrek min tfuliti imma m'għandekx id-dritt tiġbidni Dawl qawwi jserreġ tal-linfa Jolqotli għajnejja mir-riflessjoni tal-mera U ħabibti tiżvinta [Verse 2] Tilgħab biss, x'int innoċenti Għal kull kelma, l-ebda ma' jweġġgħux Titgħallem biss fuq il-meravilji u fuq l-ikraħ ta' din id-dinja ma tafx Il-mogħdija tiegħi kemm hija dejqa Inħares lejk u nixtieq nibda' mill ġdid f'kull opportunità moħħok jinħema Trejqa oħra tinħoloq mill-fqis [bridge] Qamar, Ibqa' magħna Għal-ftit oħra żomm ix-xemx milli titla' sabiex ittawwal il-ġurnata [Chorus] Nilħaq biex nomxotlek xagħrek Waqt li tagħtini dahrek Għadni niftakrek min tfuliti imma m'għandekx id-dritt tiġbidni Dawl qawwi jserreġ tal-linfa Jolqotli għajnejja mir-riflessjoni tal-mera U ħabibti tisfida [Bridge 2] il-lublieba tirbaħ għal-sekonda Moħbija bħala kurżità It-tifla kemm hi waħedha Għandha bżonn il-kumpanija Jaqa' minfuq xagħri ix-xugaman Waqt li jintfew id-dwal Dawl il-bogħod jillumina Joħroġ minn ġol-mera Mit-truf naqbad magħha inlaħħaq idejja min ġo fiha biex naqbad it-tifla imma hi timxili lura Nkompli nixxabbat b'forza u l-materjal kiesaħ riflessa Jiddawwar perfett mal-ġilda il-qabda tagħha tal-mera, tifga [Chorus] Nilħaq biex nomxotlek xagħrek Waqt li tagħtini dahrek Għadni niftakrek min tfuliti imma m'għandekx id-dritt tiġbidni Dawl qawwi jserreġ tal-linfa Jolqotli għajnejja mir-riflessjoni tal-mera U ħabibti tiżvinta [verse 3] Tinjora biss, x'int ingrata Għal kull kelma, tieħu għalihom Tiffoka biss fuq il-ħsara U li għandek rmejthom Il-mogħdija tiegħek avvanzata Kemm nixtieq li mhux qeda f'tifxil Għal kull opportunità wisq dgħajfa U f'salib it-toroq nibqa jien [Chorus] Niltlaq biex naħrab il-qabda tiegħek, Waqt li ngħir ħafna għalik, ma nafx iktar min int, u m'għandekx id-dritt tiġbidni. Dawl qawwi jserreġ tal-linfa, Jgħaddi mill-kontorn ta' ġisimha Dritt mil-fetħa tal-mera U it-trejqa tiegħi fl-aħħar ċara - English - [Verse] How can you see right through me? So young, yet you understand me so well. I get so jealous of your youth— It’s always on my mind after a shower. At least after all of this, I still remember you. Not many have survived the change. How I wish I could be there with you Every time I feel you tug on my arm. [Bridge] Moon, stay with us For a bit longer. Keep away the sunrise So the night can linger. [Chorus] I reach out to comb your hair As you turn your back to me. I still remember you from my childhood, But you have no right to pull me in. The blinding light of the chandelier Hits my eyes From the mirror’s reflection— And my friend disappears. [Verse 2] You play so innocently, Every word bounces off you, Learning only from wonders, Knowing nothing of the world's dark side. My path is so narrow, When I look at you, I want to start again. For every opportunity, your mind expands, Creating new roads from nothing. [Bridge] Moon, stay with us For a bit longer. Keep away the sunrise So the night can linger. [Chorus] I reach out to comb your hair As you turn your back to me. I still remember you from my childhood, But you have no right to pull me in. The blinding light of the chandelier Hits my eyes From the mirror’s reflection— And my friend defies me. [Bridge 2] My wishes win for a second, Disguised as curiosity. The girl is so lonely— She must need some company. The towel drops from my hair As the lights go out. A distant glow Emerges from the mirror. I grasp the edges And reach right through To touch the girl, But she takes a step back. I keep forcing myself to lean in, Until the reflective surface Wraps around me perfectly. The grasp of the mirror—it chokes. [Chorus] I reach out to comb your hair As you turn your back to me. I still remember you from my childhood, But you have no right to pull me in. The blinding light of the chandelier Hits my eyes From the mirror’s reflection— And my friend disappears. [Verse 3] You ignore everything, so ungrateful. Every word, you take personally. You focus only on the harm And deny everything you have. Your path is so advanced— How I wish I wasn’t lost in confusion. I’m too weak for every opportunity, And I remain stuck at the crossroads. [Chorus] I break free from your grasp, Coated in pure jealousy. I no longer know who you are, And you have no right to pull me in. The blinding light of the chandelier Illuminates the contours of her body, Shining through the mirror’s opening— And my path is finally clear.
