Lyrics - Maltese
(Folk song from Malta)
Bumm Bumm il-bieb
Ongi’ ongi’ ongella,
Bumm Bumm il-bieb,
Ongija Kavallier
Min hemm, min hemm, minn hemm
Ongi’ ongi’ ongella
Min hemm, min hemm, minn hemm
Ongija Kavalier.
Hawn l-Ambassadore,
Ongi’ ongi’ ongella
Hawn l-Ambassadore
Ongija Kavallier.
X’irid l-Ambaxxaturi?
Ongi’ ongi’ ongella
X’irid l-Ambaxxaturi?
Ongija Kavallier
Irid tifla sabiha,
Ongi’ ongi’ ongella
Irid tifla sabiha,
Ongija Kavallier
X’ha ntuha ‘l din it-tifla?
Ongi’ ongi’ ongella
X’ha ntuha ‘l din it-tifla,
Ongija Kavallier.
Intuha libsa gdida,
Ongi’ ongi’ ongella
Intuha libsa gdida,
Ongija Kavallier.
Huduha la triduha, ghax ahna m’ghandniex x’nambuha
Karrozza b’erba’ roti ma tghaddix minn Putirjal
ghtuni bicca xoqqa halli nsewwi l-fardal.

We will give her a new dress,
Well done
We will give her a new dress.
Welcome Knight
Take her if you wants her, cause we don’t really need her.
A car with four wheels don’t fit through city gates
Please give me a piece of fabric fix my apron, mates
