[@angelomuscat519]

I know Mr.Cilia when i worked at REME ,during the break he used to sing for us the workers he was magnificent .I am still a fan of his beautiful voice and songs all in Maltese.

[@beadsstitcher]

I like hearing this type of ghana! I have copies of some of the pictures you showed, I treasure them! It's so unique!

[@97641282]

I absolutely love this song and you sure selected the right pictures . Thank you Alfred.

[@Londonfogey]

Thanks for this. It's a real shame you don't seem to hear this kind of music much in Malta nowadays.

[@franshans9078]

Depends where you go

[@marydorissultana6826]

Love it

[@KyleVella-d4r]

Xahna zbieh min jaf jarana😊

[@alfredborg1]

I love this one too very nice video you very clever alfred & Jasmine ...I have a go on this one too.

[@vityenka]

thanks Alfred anyway. I started elementary school in Mgarr Malta, and in my class was the son of our headmaster, Lelinu Cilia so i thought it might be the same person. Ciao u thanks. Victor Pullicino, Sydney Australia

[@jimmycamilleri3746]

I love this

[@alfredgrech5121]

Never heard about it but thanks for your info.

[@trollalalalalalala]

It wasn't easy to find something that sounds authentic. It is a disaster that I walk Valletta and I cannot hear this kind of music, all I find is the synthesizer crap played by Benny. He is a real attack against your heritage. Thanks for posting this song, I love it.

Malti ta' veru!

[@BearsBareNecessities]

I heard that Pavarotti once sang an Italian version of this as an encore.

[@alfredgrech5121]

Sorry Vityenka but I checked but could not find info on where Cilia was born. He was a great folk singer.

X’ahna sbieh min jaf jarana Malta inkalbet ta that fuk, Culhatt jghamel li ifettillu, Liberta fuk cull mahluk. Il misthija m’ghadiex mghana, X’ahna sbieh min jaf jarana.. L’ulied jghamlu dac li iridu Ghaiex nieksa mill bastun Liberta ghandhom izzejjed, Colla jimxu minghajr tmum.. Dan il guaj ked jirvinana.. X’ahna sbieh min jaf jarana. Tal BON TON ajma xi csuha, Din la inglisa trid tixxala Ticber ftit lill papa’ titlob Biex tat TENNIS tixtri pala…, Min dal-lghob katt m’hi xebghana; X’ahna sbieh min jaf jarana Ghal tabib jeu avucat, Jicber ftit mohhu fil FOOTBALL, jeu fil CRICKET jeu namrat johrog hmar min tat-tuzzana.. x’ahna sbieh min jaf jarana.. jecc familja icolla xbejba floc jghallmuha il-bzonn tad-dar Lila jghallmu chif tinnamra biex tingabba lil xi hmar.. lilha jghejdu tkun sultana X'ahna sbieh min jaf jarana
