Kafè għalija, jekk jogħġbok. U xejn iktar.
A coffee for me, please. And nothing else.

She puts a plate of baked macaroni in front of you anyway. - Lina
U biċċa imqarrun. Wara l-festa għandek bżonn tiekol.
And a piece of baked macaroni. After the festa you need to eat.
Smajt, smajt. Jien kont hemm, fil-bankarell. Id-dawl intefa, u kien mudlam ħafna.
I've heard, I've heard. I was there, at the stall. The lights went out, and it was very dark.

Mudlam ħafna! Ma rajna xejn. U mbagħad rajt xi ħaġa fuq il-palk.
Very dark! We didn't see anything. And then I saw something on the stage.
Xi ħaġa? X'rajt eżatt?
Something? What exactly did you see?

U fid-dlam, it-trumbetta baqgħet iddoqq. Qatt ma smajt lil Ġorġ idoqq daqshekk sabiħ.
And in the dark, the trumpet kept on playing. I've never heard Ġorġ play so beautifully.
Iva, jien ukoll smajtu. Daqq it-trumbetta l-qadima ta' Marija.
Yes, I heard him too. He played Marija's old trumpet.

- Lina
It-trumbetta ta' Marija? Ma kontx naf. Jien rajt l-imqarrun biss!
Marija's trumpet? I didn't know. All I saw was macaroni!
- Lina
U meta d-dawl reġa' nxtegħel, il-qagħqa tal-għasel tiegħi ma kinitx hemm.
And when the lights came back on, my honey ring was gone.
Il-qagħqa kollha?
The whole ring?
Il-qagħqa kollha?
The whole ring?
LinaMhux kollha. Biċċa waħda. Biċċa kbira ħafna!
Not the whole one. One piece. A very big piece!
Forsi dik ukoll kienet il-fantażma?
Maybe that was the ghost too?

- Lina
Il-fantażmi ma jieklux kejk.
Ghosts don't eat cake.
Stramb. Stramb ħafna.
Strange. Very strange.

U Ċikku? Kien miegħek. Int ħadt ħsiebu, hux?
And Ċikku? He was with you. You were looking after him, weren't you?
You open your mouth. You have no idea where the cat was.
Jien... ara...
I... well...
Jien... ara...
I... well...
Meta d-dawl intefa, fittixt lil Ċikku. Imma ma sibtux.
When the lights went out, I looked for Ċikku. But I didn't find him.

Mela fejn kien l-għaxija kollha?
So where was he all evening?
Ma nafx. Fittixtu kullimkien!
I don't know. I looked for him everywhere!
