29 Castle On The Hill Ed Sheeran When I was six years old I broke my leg I was running from my brother and his friends And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down I was younger then Take me back to when I found my heart and broke it here Made friends and lost them through the years And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long I know I've grown But I can't wait to go home I'm on my way Driving at 90 down those country lanes Singing to "Tiny Dancer" And I miss the way You make me feel And it's real When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends Had my first kiss on a Friday night I don't reckon that I did it right I was younger then, Take me back to when We found weekend jobs, when we got paid We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long Oh, how we've grown But I can't wait to go home ........... Diska reçenti ta’ kantant mag˙ruf u ma˙bub ˙afna g˙all-umanità tieg˙u, speçjalment ma’ tfal bi bΩonnijiet speçjali g˙ax hu nnifsu kien g˙adda minn esperjenza qarsa fi tfulitu waqt li kien qed jikber. Il-lirika ta’ din il-kanzunetta tfakkarna kemm jimmarkawna l-esperjenzi ta’ tfulitna – il-postijiet fejn inkunu g˙exna b˙ala tfal u l-˙bieb li jkollna. Mill-banda l-o˙ra, kif ji©ri dejjem, mal-mog˙dija taΩ-Ωmien, dawn il- ˙bieb imorru g˙al g˙onq it-triq u min jag˙mel suççess u min ja˙bat ma’ xi skoll u ji©©arraf.... Madankollu, l-impatt ta’ dawn il-persuni fuq ˙ajjitna ma jintesa qatt. Jalla b˙ala individwi jirnexxilna n˙allu impatt tajjeb, sabi˙ u poΩittiv fuq il-˙ajja ta’ dawk li mag˙hom naqsmu ˙ajjitna. Jalla l-memorja tag˙na tkun memorja sabi˙a g˙al bosta g˙alkemm nafu li ma tista’ qatt tog˙©ob lil kul˙add. L-importanti hu li dejjem in˙allu l-©id, l-im˙abba, il-˙niena u l-awtentiçità kull fejn inkunu. L-aqwa li dejjem nag˙mlu ˙ilitna g˙all-akbar glorja t’ Alla u mhux g˙all-prosit tan-nies g˙ax in-nies mhux dejjem japprezzaw. Photo: © Gerardo Mora/Getty Images
