Woman with dog / Mara bil-kelb
By the storytellers at Dar Padova
There's one -
she's swimming
And she has a doggy behind her
A woman dressed
She's got a dog
She's dressed in black
Today
'Benji' the dog
and the other is 'Bill'.
What I'm thinking -
She needs to dress smartly
for what she's about to do.
'Volare, Volare, cantare, ohoh'
Leader.
Sounds of the dog, 'woof, woof'.
The waves crash against the rocks
White and black.
like my sisters', Bill
Black and White.
A hunting dog, Bill
I go hunting too.
She's going to the beach
with the dog running behind her.
Her doggy is going to swim in the sea.
The dog is pulling a cloth
She's running, rushing to get him into the water to swim.
He's happy he's going for a swim!
Guza, Connie are going home
to give him something to eat.
She's stepping on the pebbles
So the dog can follow right behind her,
So he doesn't run away.
My sisters' is always running off
He's calling them to walk behind them.
A big bird
with a dog running behind her
my sister's house.
It's raining
Four O'clock
and wise
If they get used to it, that's where they'll stay
To talk to them
It's very hot.

Hemm wahda
Qeghda tghum
U ghandha 'doggy' warajha
Mara liebsa
Ghandha kelb
Libsa l-iswed
Illum
'Benji' l-kelb
U ghandha iehor 'Bill'
Dak li qed nahseb jien
ghax il-libsa ghandha tkun serja
ghal li ser taghmel
'Volare, Volare, cantare ohohoh'
Mexxej
Hsejjes ta 'doggy' 'woof woof'
Il-mewg ihabbat mal-blat
Abjad u iswed
bhal t'ohti, Bill
Iswed u Abjad
Tal-Kacca Bill
Anke jien inmur ghall-kacca.
Sejra l-bahar
bil kelb warajha
u l-bahar ser jghum id-'doggy'
il-kelb qed jigbed carruta
tigri, tghaggel biex idahhlu gol-bahar ha jghum.
Ferhan ghax sejjer jghum!
Guza, Connie imorru d-dar
Biex ittih jiekol xi haga
Qeghda tghaddi minn fuq ic-caqq
Biex il-kelb igorru warajha
Biex ma jahrabx
Ghax t'ohti tghidx kemm jahrab
Jghajtilhom biex jimxu warajh
Tajra Kbira
bil-kelb jigri warajha
Id-dar t'ohti.
Bix-xita
L-Erbgha
U bil-ghaqal
Jekk jidraw hemm jibqu
Biex tkellem lilhom innifishom
xi shana kbira.
