Maltese Carol: Ninni la Tibkix Izjed (Sleep and Cry no More)

This is the most popular Christmas Carol in Malta - Ninni la Tibkix Izjed (Sleep and cry no more). It's like a lullaby. It is sung by the Birkirkara choir under the direction of Rev. Canon Vincent Demicoli. This carol was written by the Jesuit Priest, Fr. Andrew Schembri (1774-1862) from Luqa, Malta, for Maltese migrants in Tunis.

Sleep, sleep Baby Jesus don't cry,
leave the crying for us sinners.
Come, come oh Angels come fly,
to see the new born Jesus in his crib.

Some of the photos show the church of Birkirkara decorated for the feast of their patron saint, St Helen.

LYRICS: NINNI LA TIBKIX IZJED

Ninni la tibkix iżjed,
Ninni Ġesù Bambin
Ħallih għalina l-biki
Għax aħna midinbin.

Ninni la tibkix iżjed, etc.

Ejjew, ejjew ja anġli
Mis-sema, mija mija
Ħdejn Alla li ħalaqkom
Bambin ġewwa l-fisqija.

Ninni la tibkix iżjed, etc.

Ejjew taraw b'għajnejkom
Lil Alla Kbir tal-ħniena
Bambin sabiħ u ħelu
Ininni ġo benniena.

Ninni la tibkix iżjed, etc.

Ejjew araw o rgħajja
F'kemm faqar, f'kemm tbatija
Is-sid ta' kollox twieled
Bin Alla, il-Messija.

Ninni la tibkix iżjed, etc.

Ejjew kbarat tad-dinja
Ejjew mingħajr kburija
Araw kif Alla Sidna
Iċċekken sar tarbija.

Ninni la tibkix iżjed, etc.

Sar bniedem, sar tarbija
Biex jiġbed il-qlub tagħna
Biex bl-aqwa ġid tas-sema
Henjin bla qies jarana.

Ninni la tibkix iżjed, etc.
