      Wara l-bibien,
      fit-tul tat-toroq twal,
      batejt
      il-għeja
      il-qtigħ ta’ qalb,
      batejt fuq kollox il-mistħija;
      iżda ġarrabt ukoll
      il-ferħ u l-għaxqa
      li kull tallab iħoss
      x’ħin jasal wisq għajjien bil-ħorġa f’idu
      bil-ħobż għand ommu mġewħa.

Usage notes

  • The possessive forms of the singular are built as though the basic form were *triqa, e.g. triqti (my way), triqithom (their way). The possessive forms of the plural are built from the paucal, thus triqati etc.
