Lirika:
Min jaf kieku għidtli ma kellekx ir-risposti
Min jaf kieku ma ħallejtekx teħodli posti
Issa fl-istess baħar qegħdin
Dan kien kollu ħela ta’ ħin
Min jaf kieku min jaf
Min jaf kieku min jaf
Min jaf kieku min jaf
Min jaf kieku min jaf
Vers 1:
Fil-bidu kont qiegħed narak xi ħadd banali iktar kemm tgħid iktar turtani
Tibgħat messaġġi: kemm xtaqt tarani, li qatt ma ltqajt ma' karattru bħali
Il-fatt li kważi bdejt tadurani, boq ma nafx xi ħaġa rari
Li xi ħadd bħalek ser jaffetwani, f’dan il-każ ma nafx xi ġrali
U għamilt pass, f’daqqa waħda qiegħda tlaqqagħni mal-familjari
Ftit wara li ġejt u dħalt ġo darek int qbadt difrejk u daħħalthom f’dari
Bdejt tafdani, tgħidli minn xiex għaddejt kull ma ngħidlek bdejt tismani
Lejl tispjegali stejjer aħjar minn ta’ Francis Ebejer, riġlejk madwari (wooo)
Dan kien lejl speċjali, ngħid li darli ejja ma kienx ħela ta' ħin, ħela ta' ħin
Issa sejjer id-dar daħkan bil-marki ta’ xuftejk kemxejn brutali
Ferħan nisma' lil Damian Marley, id-dwejjaq marli, sejjer: Nah Mean!
Vers 2:
Xejn, l-arloġġ għaddej u t-tokki ngħid illi ħassejthom doppji
Imbagħad invadejtli moħħi malli smajtek tgħid li tħobbni
Forsi, għax ma ġejtx imrobbi hekk jew għax it-tnejn opposti
Qbadt u għalaqt għajnejja t-tnejn għall-botti,
Ħallejtek f’idejk teħodni
Żammejtek fuq wiċċ l-idejn
Għax jiena lilek bdejt inpoġġi qabel kollox
nipprova inwettaq dak kollu li inti ġejt u bdejt titlobni
B’hekk hemmhekk ħassejtni moħli għax apparti demmi
Nistqar li inti ftaħt il-bokka, buti kollu bdejt tixrobli
Issa li smajt kull ma kellek xi tgħid kollu sfaxxa fix-xejn
Ġejt f’paradoss qas naf hux jien il-problema
Għax kull emozzjoni li nħoss lejk kienet estrema
Mibegħda, mħabba f’keffa waħda, min ser iċedi l-aħħar?
Ma rridx neħel, ħa jispiċċa jiġrili bħal Heath Ledger jekk nirreċta aktar
Żammejtek fuq wiċċ l-idejn
Issa kelmtek sfaxxa fix-xejn

I love this song! Here is a rough English translation for anyone who's interested:
New Victorians: What if you told me you didn’t have all the answers?
What if I didn’t let you take my place?
Now we’re in the same boat
This was all a waste of time
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Lapes: I used to think you were a vapid person
The more you spoke, the more you’d annoy me
You’d text me how much you wished to see me
Saying you’d never met anyone like me
In fact you almost started to worship me
I don’t know, it’s rare that someone like you could affect me so
In this case, I don’t know what happened
So I made a move
All of a sudden, you’re introducing me to your family
After I came into your house, you dug your nails into my back
You started to trust me, telling me what you’d been through
You’d listen to everything I told you
Told me stories better than Francis Ebejer’s, your legs wrapped round me (whoo!)
That was a special night, I can say I changed my mind
It wasn’t a waste of time (a waste of time)
Now I’m going home smiling, your lip stains, a little brutal,
Happy, listening to Damien Marley
My blues were gone
Know what I mean?
NV: What if you told me you didn’t have all the answers?
What if I didn’t let you take my place?
Now we’re in the same boat
This was all a waste of time
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
L: The clock’s chimes felt twice as strong
You took over my mind when I heard you say you loved me
Maybe because I wasn’t brought up this way, or because we’re opposites
So I ignored your digs and let you take me under your wing
(NV: I held you in high esteem)
L: Because I put you above everyone else
Trying to do everything you asked me to
(NV: Now that I’ve heard what you’ve had to say, it means nothing to me)
L: I felt drained, you opened your mouth and drank my blood and my money too
A paradox, I started wondering if I was the problem,
Because every emotion I felt towards you was extreme
Hatred and love in the same breath, who will surrender?
I’ll end up like Heath Ledger if I go on acting.
NV: What if you told me you didn’t have all the answers?
What if I didn’t let you take my place?
Now we’re in the same boat
This was all a waste of time
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
Who knows what could have been, who knows?
(I held you in high esteem.
)
(A waste of time, a waste of time.
)
Now your words mean nothing to me.
Meta jikkollaboraw artisti ta' dan il-kalibru flimkien u jirnexxilhom iżewqu diska oriġinali b'mużika kontemporanja u bil-lingwa Maltija, ngħid li l-wirt artistiku Malti kiseb kapulavur mis-snin bikrija tas-seklu wieħed u għoxrin. Jalla naraw aktar kanzunetti bil-Malti mingħandkom The New Victorians, għaliex b'din u b'VII (Sette) rnexxilkom toħolqu żewġ biċċiet ta' arti ġmielhom, fl-opinjoni tiegħi. Il-Lapes - fluwenti u eċċellenti - prosit kemm ta' din il-kanzunetta kif ukoll tal-kanzunetti l-oħrajn tiegħek u tal-messaġġi li titrasmetti bihom. Ta' min isemmi wkoll l-immaġini bellezza li ħloqtu b'dan il-vidjow; il-koreografija, is-sempliċità tas-sett, is-sinkronizzazzjoni... impressjonanti. Ħerqan nara x'se toffrulna aktar. Komplu kreaw, speċjalment bil-Malti!
Wow Bradley Grazzi hafna!!
You can be proud to represent the new Maltese musical scene! Such a contemporaneous song! Girls we need you to represent Malta 🇲🇹 at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024!! ❤❤ love from France
Prosit, maltese artists, proud of maltese language and proffesional. Keep it up guys
Thank you so much Jamie!

" Min jaf " kieku titilghu ghall-eurovision. Zgur tmorru tajjeb u tergghu taghmluna kburin li ahna Maltin.
Kieku fl ahhar titla diska sew u bil-Malti.
Iva naqbel!
WOW WOW this is so cool! I think by far one of the best ever songs produced in Maltese language. Great video including their acting in it. Would be so amazing seeing this on the Eurovision stage representing Malta!
Your right !
Cause there was only 5 recent songs and they were in ads.
Proud to support my own nation and talent 🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹
留学でマルタに来たばっかりの時に現地の人が教えてくれた思い出の曲
I can't get enough of this. I don't know what I like the most - the melody, the lyrics, the rap, the facial expression, the simple yet powerful dance. I can't choose so I'll just say all of it! Definitely going to be on repeat for a while.
Wow! Minhabba il bierah fl- X factor hajjartuni nerga nismaha!! Proset hafna!❤

This newest single is fabulous. You are taking the Maltese language to a whole new level. Appreciating our own wonderfully expressive language. Well done !
Thank you so much Nadia! xx
Huwa ovvju li kien hemm hafna pjanar u xoghol wara dan il-kapulavur. Kemm il-muzika kif ukoll il-'video' huma ta' kwalita` professjonali liema bhala.
Prosit kbira u grazzi!
One of my fav ... Keep it up
Love the fact you’re pushing through boundaries and at the same time you’re supporting a new artist.. that is noble act that should be commended for.. none the less i’ve always been a fan of your material from the very first single until this latest masterpiece.. kudos to you xx
This is literally the only Maltese song I like.....😳 You girls have such an amazing voice and the visuals hit hard too🤩 I hope more astonishing hits like this one are created!! I'm having faith in Maltese music😅
Qatt smajthom "The Travellers" ? Dawk ukoll ghandhom diski sbieh maltin
@@SammyZejn I heard some of their songs, the last time I did they weren't really my taste, I'll try giving them another listen lol
The Victorians smajthom l-ewwel darba meta giet il-kantata Anastacia xi erba snin ilu. Mil ewwel laqtuni ferm! Qbajt nismaghhom min dak iz-zmien l'hawn Inkredibli l-arti li ghandhom u kif tigi interpritata fil-muzika u l-istil taghhom! Prosit tassew lil Lapes wkoll ghal mod kif jseprimi ruhu fil-kant. Ecellenti!
