L-Innu Malti(The Maltese National Anthem) Lil din l-Art ħelwa, l-Omm li tatna isimha,Ħares Mulej, kif dejjem Int ħarist;Ftakar li lilha bl-oħla dawl libbist. This sweet land, the very Mother who gave us our identity,Watch over, dear Lord, as you have always done;Remember how You adorned her with the sweetest light. Agħti kbir Alla, id-deh'n lil min jaħkimha;Rodd il-ħniena lis-sid, saħħa 'l-ħaddiem;Seddaq il-għaqda fil-Maltin u s-sliem. Bestow, dear God, wisdom to those who rule her,Grant compassion to the leader [and] strength to him who toils;Render brotherhood, and peace, amongst the Maltese.
