Hymn to St. Nicholas of Tolentino

Lilek, Nikola, ahna nsellmu,
Lilek inqimu qaddis kbir
Ilqa' u bierek din l-ghanja taghna
Lilek irroddu kull tifhir.

Madwarek migburin, bi qdusitek nitghaxxqu
Fik ahna nsibu xempju haj ta' kull virtu':
Kif jitbewsu t-tjieba u l-gherf,
Ghad-dell tas-Salib, xebh haj minn ta' Gesu'.

Lilek, Nikola, ahna nsellmu,
Lilek inqimu qaddis kbir
Ilqa' u bierek din l-ghanja taghna
Lilek irroddu kull tifhir.

Is-safa l'int habbejt, ruhek ghazlet mill-hlejjaq
Tal-maghmudija shiha l-bjuda int zammejt:
Anglu haj kont tidher f'wicc l-art,
Bil-gilju f'idejk, lejn Alla ttajjart.

Lilek, Nikola, ahna nsellmu,
Lilek inqimu qaddis kbir
Ilqa' u bierek din l-ghanja taghna
Lilek irroddu kull tifhir.
