Lyrics



WHO I AM


Words & Music by Jason Xuereb
(Maltese lyrics 'Jien min jien' written by Raymond Mahoney)

My thoughts haunt me day and night,
I think about my own existence.
So strong is this feeling here inside,
all I am needing is to find the truth of life.

Alone I face the world around me
to find there is no one there to guide me.
The road is long but I am strong to walk on my own
and though I am still young
I am willing to find

who I am, my soul is longing for that rainbow's end.
Who knows when the sun will rise into my eyes forever.
To find a friend in myself is the greatest gift to me, and I know,
the road is long but I will be strong to find my way.

My dreams haunt me day and night,
I dream about my past and future.
I am flying high across the sky to find tomorrow,
and though I am still young
I am willing to find

who I am, my soul is longing for that rainbow's end.
Who knows when the sun  will rise into my eyes forever.
To find a friend in myself is the greatest gift to me, and I know,
the road is long but I will be strong to find  my way.

TIFKIRA

Words & Music By Jason Xuereb

Ftakar ftit fiz-zminijiet,
meta flimkien ghexna grajjiet,
l-imghoddi tar mar-rih u fadal biss il-holm
ta' dawk il-granet sbieh li f'qalbi jien inzomm.

Ma ninsa qatt dawk il-waqtiet,
iljieli twal magenb xtajtiet,
ir-ramel taht riglejna zamm it-tifkiriet,
izda l-mewg malajr kaxkarhom u difinhom fis-skiet.

Tant 'il boghod biex terga lura fi hdani,
izda ma ninsik qatt u nistqarr li ghadni rridek.
Tant vicin dik il-harsa f'ghajnejk,
kemm nixtieq nigi lura ghal hdejk.

Fuq art 'il boghod ninsabu t-tnejn,
il-bahar fond jifridna ghal xejn.
Qed niktiblek dan il-kliem ghax ghadni nemmen fik,
li kieku nerga lura lesta hajti naghtik.

Tant 'il boghod biex terga lura fi hdani,
izda ma ninsik qatt u nistqarr li ghadni rridek.
Tant vicin dik il-harsa f'ghajnejk,
kemm nixtieq nigi lura ghal hdejk.

F'dan il-lejl bla tmiem ilmaht il-kwiekeb kbar,
bhal donnhom fehmu dan l-imrar.
Kien kiefer il-mument li tlaqtek f'wied tad-dmugh,
izda nwieghdek li nibqa' nhaddan it-tifkira.

Tant 'il boghod biex tigi lura fi hdani,
izda ma ninsik qatt u  nistqarr li ghadni rridek.
Tant vicin dik il-harsa f'ghajnejk,
kemm nixtieq nigi lura ghal hdejk.

Ftakar ftit...
jien ma nsejt qatt, iz-zminijiet, dawk  il-waqtiet flimkien.

'IL BOGHOD MID-DLAM

Words & music by Jason Xuereb

Tlaqt 'il boghod minn dawn iz-zminijiet,
ghax hassejt go fija bhal sejhiet
biex infittex ftit tal-kenn lil hinn mid-dlamijiet.

Hrabt 'il boghod f'satret il-lejl hanin,
taht il-kwiekeb jiddu tant helwin,
illi wrewni t-triq tal-wens f'dirghajn il-moghdijiet,
taht berah is-smewwiet,

u rajt bhal dawl fuq l-orizzont.
In-niket f'qalbi issa waqaf pront
ma' l-ewwel ghanja helwa ta' l-ghasfur,
ma' l-ewwel nifs tal-fjur.

Ittajart hielsa fuq il-mewg bajdan,
iz-ziffa helwa tatni s-serhan
ghal hajja gdida li ma tintemm qatt,
'il boghod mid-dlam....

u rajt bhal dawl leqqien fuq l-orizzont.
In-niket f'qalbi issa waqaf pront
ma' l-ewwel ghanja helwa ta' l-ghasfur,
ma' l-ewwel nifs tal-fjur.

Ittajart hielsa fuq il-mewg bajdan,
iz-ziffa helwa tatni s-serhan
ghal hajja gdida li ma tintemm qatt,
'il boghod mid-dlam.

IT-TRIQ TAS-SEBH

Words & Music by Jason Xuereb

Fi sbieh il-jum, taht sema kollu lwien,
jien sibtek hemm,tiftakar f'dak iz-zmien.
Harist f'ghajnejk, rajt demgha ggelben ma haddejk,
smajt jidwu l-kliem, kif qridna l-holqien.

Kien zmien sabih, ta' hena w'mistrieh,
minghajr tniggiz u dhahen ma l-irjieh,
izda llum, ghidli, x'fadal habib?
hlief qerda w'tigrib, tmiem id-dinja riesaq qrib.

       Dawwar harstek lejn id-dawl li jurina t-triq tas-sebh,
       ressaq talbek lil hallieq li jmexxina lejn ir-rebh,
       fuq dawk li jwettqu tbatijiet u jnisslu l-firdiet,
       ihallu l-poplu jghix fid-dlamijiet.

       Qawwi qalbek ja habib, ghini ngorr dan is-salib,
       ejja nimxu t-triq flimkien ha jzernaq dawl ta' fidwa ghal gejjien,
       dawl li jfejjaq il-gerhiet, dawl ta' mhabba w'paci,
       dawl li jkebbes f'qalbek it-tamiet.

F'inzul ix-xemx taht sema kollu lwien,
int sibtni hdejk nitpaxxa bil-holqien,
izda fil-boghod ilmaht dawk il-gerhiet,
li gew maz-zminijiet, dlonk qalbi tibki bdiet.

       Dawwar harstek lejn id-dawl li jurina t-triq tas-sebh,
       ressaq talbek lil hallieq li jmexxina lejn ir-rebh,
       fuq dawk li jwettqu tbatijiet u jnisslu l-firdiet,
       ihallu l-poplu jghix fid-dlamijiet.

       Qawwi qalbek ja habib, ghini ngorr dan is-salib,
       ejja nimxu t-triq flimkien, ha jzernaq dawl ta' fidwa ghal gejjien,
       dawl li jfejjaq il-gerhiet, dawl ta' mhabba w'paci,
       dawl li jkebbes f'qalbek it-tamiet.

       ...hemm f'inzul ix-xemx jien bkejt fis-skiet.

THAT MAGIC IN YOUR EYES

Words & Music by Jason Xuereb

It was that magic in your eyes,
that shone a light so deep inside my heart.
It was that magic of your smile,
that was enough to make this fire start.

And when you walk away from me,
just listen to this melody,
and then you'll find what's in my mind for you.

       Just call my name and I'll be there,
       to save you from your loneliness, to wipe your tears away.
       Just call my name and I'll be there,
       to tell you what I feel for you,
       and meet that magic in your eyes.

It was the music in your heart,
that made my soul take flight and touch the sky.
Oh how I wish to be with you,
and hold you close if you just let me try.

But when you walk away from me,
I wonder if our love can be
forever true, only me and you, together.

       Just call my name and I'll be there,
       to tell you what I feel for you, and meet that magic in your eyes.

       Just call my name and I'll be there,
       to save you from your loneliness if you could let me lead the way.
       Just call my name and I'll be there,
       to hold you and take your breath away.....

but If you ever go, I would stay alone
just longing for that magic in your eyes.
