lyrics

Church Bells - Gaby Bonello

Verse 1
I hear the church bells ringing
A familiar sound
Bringing back the memories
When I was just a child

Verse 2
Like a cub in a litter
Lioness to her pride
Safe in the warmth of her mother
This land that keeps her alive

Chorus

Leaving my homeland when I was so young
Wondering where I belong
Calling me back to the place that I long
Now that the church bells have rung
The church bells have rung

Verse 3
Walking the passeggiata
A gathering of friends
Feasting on Nanna’s good cooking
Dressed in our Sunday best

Verse 4
Now those dear have passed on
But still she whispers to me
My mother a white land of beauty
Come home and set the past free

Chorus
Vocal choir /Instrumental

[ Sung in Maltese ]
Int sabiha o’ Malta taghna
Int sabiha o’ Malta taghna
Int sabiha o’ Malta taghna
Int sabiha o’ Malta taghna
