National Anthem of
Malta in Maltese:
Lil din l-art ħelwa, l-Omm li tatna isimha,
Ħares, Mulej, kif dejjem Int ħarist:
Ftakar li lilha bil-oħla dawl libbist.
Agħti, kbir Alla, id-dehen lil min jaħkimha,
Rodd il-ħniena lis-sid, saħħa 'l-ħaddiem:
Seddaq il-għaqda fil-Maltin u s-sliem.
National Anthem of
Malta in English:
Guard, Lord, forever, as you did erst and never ceases,
This land whose name we received our mother name.
Her you have draped with a light whose grace exceeds all
others.
Those who govern, sovereign God, give understanding,
Granting the welfare of those who work, largesse to those
who employ
Make business, only to all our obligations, the peace we
enjoy.
However, this is the version of the anthem that is being
sung in the English version. There is other simplified version of the anthem.
Simplified English
version of National Anthem of Malta:
Keeping your Lord, you have kept ever!
If this beloved country whose name we bear!
Keep it in mind, you have done so beautiful!
He that governs wisdom be regarded!
In master mercy, strength in man increase!
We all confirm, in unity and peace!
This is simplified version of the anthem is just for the
reference purpose. It is never sung as the official national anthem.
