Lirika
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
Envious of the glimmer of hope
– Envious tal-glimmer ta’tama
Gives me a break from feeling alone
– Jagħtini waqfa milli nħossni waħdi
Gives me a moment out of the ego
– Jagħtini mument mill-ego
I used to feel so invincible
– Kont inħossni daqshekk invinċibbli
I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin’ of
– Kont inħoss li kien hemm dinja li tiswa toħlom biha
Back in the Gasworks, screamin’ the song
– Lura fil-Gasworks, għajjat il-kanzunetta
Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart
– Is-sbuħija taż-żgħażagħ biss twaqqafli qalbi uġigħ
Oh, I feel so dark rememberin’
– Oh, inħoss hekk skur ftakar’
Oh, my heart, I feel so dark rememberin’
– Oh, qalbi, inħossni daqshekk skur ftakarfi’
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Kulħadd fuq it-treadmill, runnin’
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Taħt il-billboards, barra mis-sħana
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Għeżież taxi ħadd fit triq illejla
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Oh, ma nistax nieqaf runnin’
I see the whole town fall
– Nara l belt kollha taqa
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
(Ooh-ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
I came back home after seven years
– Ġejt lura d dar wara seba’snin
Wide awake, tracing tracks of her tears
– Imqajjem wiesa’, traċċar ta’binarji tad-dmugħ tagħha
Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
– Kantuniera l-infermier biex tikseb il-qofol tagħha
I promised her I’d get her out of the care home
– Wegħedtha li se noħroġha mid-dar tal-kura
The place was fallin’ to bits
– Il-post kien fallin’għal bits
Understaffed and overruled by callous hands
– Bla persunal u megħlub minn idejn ħżiena
The poor nurse was around the clock
– L infermier fqir kien madwar l arloġġ
And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart
– U s sbuħija taż żgħażagħ kienet ħalliet qalbi tkissir
But it wasn’t hard when you love someone
– Imma ma kienx diffiċli meta tħobb lil xi ħadd
Oh, I stayed all night till you left this life ’cause that’s just love
– Oh, bqajt il-lejl kollu sakemm ħallejt din il-ħajja ‘ kawża dik hija biss imħabba
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Kulħadd fuq it-treadmill, runnin’
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Taħt il-billboards, barra mis-sħana
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Għeżież taxi ħadd fit triq illejla
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Oh, ma nistax nieqaf runnin’
I see the whole town fall
– Nara l belt kollha taqa
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
Above the rain-soaked Garden of Remembrance
– Fuq Il-Ġnien tat-Tifkira mxarrba bix-xita
Kittywakes etched your initials in the sky
– Kittywakes inċiżi l inizjali tiegħek fis sema
Oh, I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times
– Oh, nibża’għal din il-gżira mdgħajfa u t-taqlib taż-żminijiet
And I’ll hold you in my heart till the day I die
– U nżommok f’qalbi sal-ġurnata li mmut
Oh
– Oh
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin’
– Kulħadd fuq it-treadmill, runnin’
Under the billboards, out of the heat
– Taħt il-billboards, barra mis-sħana
Somebody’s darling’s on the street tonight
– Għeżież taxi ħadd fit triq illejla
Oh, I can’t stop runnin’
– Oh, ma nistax nieqaf runnin’
I see the whole town fall
– Nara l belt kollha taqa
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
I people-watch on the way back home
– I nies-għassa fit-triq lura d-dar
(Ooh-ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh)
– (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
