5. L-Innu Malti (The Maltese National Anthem)
Lil din l-Art ħelwa, l-Omm li tatna isimha, Ħares Mulej, kif dejjem Int ħarist; Ftakar li lilha bl-oħla dawl libbist.
This sweet land, the very Mother who gave us our identity, Watch over, dear Lord, as you have always done; Remember how You adorned her with the sweetest light.
Agħti kbir Alla, id-deh'n lil min jaħkimha; Rodd il-ħniena lis-sid, saħħa 'l-ħaddiem; Seddaq il-għaqda fil-Maltin u s-sliem.
Bestow, dear God, wisdom to those who rule her, Grant compassion to the leader [and] strength to him who toils; Render brotherhood, and peace, amongst the Maltese.
