L­Astronomija
minn Paul Bonello

Xtaqt nibda biex nitkellem

f'bejt kont nitla fi tfulija
b'kobor f'sema, f'dlam nosserva
f'ajru bnazzi b'kwiekeb sbuħija.

Studji saru, diversi riċerki

fuq l­imbierka Astronomija
hemm xi tgħid ħafna dwarha
l­Univers b'għeġubijiet mimlija.

Ħafna minnhom dawn pjaneti

bogħod mid­dinja li ngħixu fiha
ġew skoperti mill­astronawti
b'satelliti li vjaġġaw biha.

Naraw ġieli meteoriti

b'trombi kbar dawn speċjali
b'dettalji w studji sar kull dejjem
ħinijiet eżatti li jkunu tali.

L­Univers li ħalaq Alla

kbir immens bla trufijiet
b'xefaq kbir bla ma jispiċċa
il­bniedem tgħallem dawn il­ħiliet.
