      Ħarbat, mewwet dawk id-dwieli,
      wild il-għaraq tal-ħaddiem,
      żomm il-fqir ġol-gorboġ waħdu,
      u bla ħobż, bla dawl, bla sliem!
      Destroy, kill those vines,
      the offspring of the worker’s sweat,
      keep the poor man in the hovel alone,
      without bread, without light, without peace!
