we the Jah Jah children

Kliem Kohelet bin David, sultan f'Gerusalemm.

O frugha tal-frughat, jghid Kohelet.
O frugha tal-frughat! Kollox frugha!

Xi qliegh ghandu l-bniedem mit-tahbit tieghu kollu li jgarrab taht ix-xemx?
(Koh 1, 1-3)


Diga' qed niehu nifs is-sena l-gdida b'dal-kliem jirbombja f'mohhi. Diga' hadt nifsijiet ohra fi snin imghoddija b'dal-istess kliem josmotli l-esseru griz u bajdani. Imma dak in-nhar m'ghamilt xejn. Ma nixtieqx li jkun hemm darb'ohra. Dik li thares lura, tqalleb u ma ssib xej, kerha wisq. Issa bhal donnu qed jispellijieli sillaba sillaba. Belt il-Frugha nnifisha ziedet tabella gdida tan-neon jimxi.

Habib tieghi, trid li nibqghu bhan-nemel ahna? Inpassu mill-istess toroq, maqbudin f'xibka li nafu biha imma nibqghu ninsgu l-hajt taghha madwarna sakemm idejna stess ma jkollomx aktar sahha, subghjna jimirdu bil-bughawwieg tal-istess moviment u mnifsejjna jittieklu u jisfaw fix-xej... bin-nifsijiet qerrieda tal-kastig..?


Niftakarni f'performance ta' zmien ilu. L-ewwel wahda u l-ahhar wahda. Imma hemm ukoll kien tghezzez l-intern u hangar bl-ghatx tieghu ghall-helsien mill-jasar. Gholejna f'salt, qattghajna x-xibka li kienet izzomna mal-art u ghajjatna bid-dwejjaq li ma kien recta xej.


Yeah-yeah-yeah, well!Uh!
Open your eyes and look within:
Are you satisfied (with the life you're living)? Uh!
We know where we're going, uh!
We know where we're from.
We're leaving Babylon

Robert Nesta Marley (Exodus)


Gib nifs, Rig, Kol, gib in-nifs tal-hajja l-gdida...

"...Int tnibbet il-hdura ghall-bhejjem, u l-hxejjex li bihom jinqeda l-bniedem..."
(Salm 104, 14)
