28 The Music Box How Long Will I Love You Ellie Goulding How long will I love you? As long as stars are above you And longer, if I can. How long will I need you? As long as the seasons need to Follow their plan. How long will I be with you? As long as the sea is bound to Wash upon the sand. How long will I want you? As long as you want me to And longer by far. How long will I hold you? As long as your father told you, As long as you can. How long will I give to you? As long as I live through you However long you say. How long will I love you? As long as stars are above you And longer, if I may. Silta muΩikali li Ωgur smajtuha g˙aliex ˙ar©et ftit snin ilu. Madankollu l-lirika tag˙ha hi tassew sabi˙a u l-ma˙buba qed tg˙id lilll-ma˙bub tag˙ha b’tant tixbihat misluta mill- ˙olqien li tixtieq tibqa’ t˙obbu g˙al dejjem. Nistqar li l-kliem fakkarni f’ realta’ li spiss fi Ωminijietna qed ninsew, ji©ifieri dik li mpenn g˙adnu jittie˙ed g˙al dejjem u mhux meta jkolli aptit. IΩ-Ωwie© u kull impenn ie˙or li persuna tid˙ol g˙alih, g˙andu ji©i me˙ud g˙al dejjem g˙ax kif tg˙idilna l-Iskrittura, dak li jg˙aqqad Alla ma g˙andux jifirdu l-bniedem. Meta mpenn jittie˙ed bis-serjetà, dak li jkun jag˙mel ˙iltu li jΩommu u meta jg˙addi minn mumenti iebsin u ta’ diffikultà, kif kollha ng˙addu minnhom fil-˙ajja, je˙tie© mhux nitilqu kollox u nwarrbu ‘l hemm. IΩda g˙andna nibqg˙u sodi u qalbiena sabiex inΩommu dak li nkunu liberament u konxjenzjoΩament d˙alna g˙alih. Meta mpenn jinΩamm, persuna tissa˙˙a˙ u tikber g˙ax hu fil-waqt tal-prova, fil- maltemp li nuru minn xiex a˙na mag˙mulin. Vapur jista’ jkun tassew kbir, majestuz u sabi˙ imma jekk jibqa’ dejjem ankrat fil-port, qatt mhuwa se juri x’isarraf, x’qawwa u x’©ibda g˙andhom il-magni, is-sa˙˙a g˙andu biex jofroq il-mew© u jikkumbatti l-maltemp. Fil-port kollox sew. Il-prova hi barra mill-port. Jalla int u jien, bl-g˙ajnuna ta’ Alla, li ming˙ajru ma nistg˙u nag˙mlu xejn sew, inkunu nies ta’ stoffa li kelmitna nΩommuha u nag˙mlu ˙ilitna biex l-impenji li nkunu d˙alna g˙alihom, inwettqu fis-sabi˙ u fl-ikrah, fil-mard u fis-sa˙˙a, fir- riΩq it-tajjeb u l-˙aΩin g˙all-akbar glorja ta’ Alla.
