Part of Memorja

An audio recording of Maria Stella 'Esther' Formosa singing a wartime ditty in Maltese about wartime soldiers from Mauritius.

"X’bicca kbira grat go dal-pajjiz
Illi f’ghomri kollu qatt ma rajt
Minn mindu tal-Mawrizju gew go dal-pajjiz
Tghidlek wiehed minnhom jien irrid.
Din mieghu tmur, kull fejn imur
Imbasta minnu din ma tkun mifruda qatt
Imbasta minnu ma tkun mifruda qatt."
