    • 1970, Anton Buttigieg, “Lis-Sena l-Ġdida 1964”, in Fl-Arena:
      X’sejra ġġibilna ġewwa l-fardal tiegħek.
      ja Sena Ġdida?
      Ah! biegħed minna
      il-għelt, il-ġlied,
      id-demm bejn l-aħwa;
      rażżan ir-regħba u l-ġibdiet tal-ħakma,
      rattab l-irjus u l-qlub,
      ġibilna s-sabar ta’ xulxin, l-imħabba,
      ġibilna l-għaqda,
      ġibilna s-sliem,
      ġibilna l-ħelsien!
