Lyrics

Ismaghni ftit habib
Trid tahrab minn hawn
Fejn sejjer?
Ismaghni ftit habib
B'siringa n daqsxejn trab
X'int fittex?

Bid-droga tinqeridx, ftit, ftit
U hajtek tharbatiex, hekk zghir
Zaghzugh...

Tinsiex dak iz-zmien
Li ghexna t-tnejn flimkien
Kemm frahna int u jien
Ar' ftit, z'qed taghmel ghal ftit gost
F'did-dinja ghandek post
Hajtek tinqered
Titlifba darba ghal dejjem
Ismaghni ftit habib

Ismaghni ftit habib
Ehles minn halq il-mewt
Ghad tista'
Minn qabdek din it-triq
Baruni, u int ilsir
Biex jghassrek

Ghaliex ma tistenbahx habib
Kemm vittmi b'overdose hemm that it-trab

Tinsiex dak iz-zmien
Li ghexna t-tnejn flimkien
Kemm frahna int u jien
Ar' ftit, z'qed taghmel ghal ftit gost
F'did-dinja ghandek post
Hajtek tinqered
Titlifba darba ghal dejjem
Ismaghni ftit habib

Id-droga la tfittixx
Ismaghni ftit habib

English translation

Listen to me my friend
You want to hide away
But where to?
Listen to me my friend
With needle and some crack
You dare to?

Don't pick the junky road my friend
And throw your life away so soon
So young...

Don't forget the days
We spent in true love ways
We were so happy then, my dear
Open your heart and see
Go straight and you'll be free
It's self destruction
You'll lose your life forever
So listen please my friend!

Listen to me my friend
Just fly away from death
While you can
Barons and pushers gain
While addicts slave in pain
So burdened

Why don't you see the light my friend
Victims from overdose cry from their graves

Don't forget the days
We spent in true love ways
We were so happy then, my dear
Open your heart and see
Go straight and you'll be free
It's self destruction
You'll lose your life forever
So listen please my friend!

Open your mind, fly free
So listen please my friend
