Church Bells

I hear the church bells ringing A familiar sound Bringing back the memories When I was just a child Like a cub in a litter Lioness to her pride Safe in the warmth of her mother This land that keeps her alive 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 Walking the passeggiata A gathering of friends Feasting on Nanna's good cooking Dressed in our Sunday best 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 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 Rung Int sabiha o' Malta taghna Int sabiha o' Malta taghna Int sabiha o' Malta taghna Int sabiha o' Malta taghna
