gejt ghext fid-dinja w fewwahtha.
Safja twelidt u bqajt safja fuq l-art,
sa lejn is-sema ttajjart.
Dawl mill-awrora fuq xefaq il-jum
xirfu raggietek f�Awissu.
Lanqas l-gherejjex ma hbewlek il-gmiel;
gmielek bla tarf qatt ma dbiel.
Ref: Sultana tal-gnus,
bhalek hadd ghax sirt omm u bqajt vergni.
Kenn ghall-maghkus,
Omm il-hniena u bieb is-smewwiet.
Hafna titli nghatawlek maz-zmien
u ghad jibqghu jaghtuk fil-gejjien,
�mma l-isbah mis-sbieh
tabilhaqq l-istess ismek�.. Marija.
Paci tinfirex mill-harsa t�ghajnejk,
ferh minn haddejk bellusija,
kelmet il-ghasel minn fommok hanin,
wens minn idejk mellisin.
Isma� talbietna jittajru ghal hdejk
mic-cokon taghna; uliedek.
Tant nghozzu b�herqa dak ismek sabih
b�halfa go qalbna ktibnieh.
Ref: Sultana tal-gnus e??�
Bridge: Ta� qabilna, b�hafna mhabba,
bnewlek tempju f�nofs ir-rahal.
Ahna bhalhom lilek nghozzu,
ghax int l-ghaxqa ta� l-Ghaxqin!
