Don’t cry for me Malta Taghna

(with apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber)

 

It is so easy                                                                            

It’s not so strange

When I try to explain how I feel

That I still need a holiday

After all the receptions

You will believe me

All you will see

Is a henna tattoo

And bangles and bracelets and rings

I bang them on table for you                 

 

I had to make it happen            

I had to change

Couldn’t stay all my life out of it

Doing nothing but hope                        

For prince charming to come

So I joined Joseph

Seeing the world trying everything new

From curtains to dresses and more

I never expected so much

 

Don’t cry for me Malta Taghna

The truth is I was in transit

With my dear Joseph

And all the luggage                              

You could have called me                     

After I landed

 

And as for fortune and as for fame

I always wanted them all

To go round the world

And tell you all about it

They’re not illusions

They are the solutions

They promise to be

It’s what my dear Joseph tells me

Nhobbkom, and hope you love me

  

Don’t cry for me Malta Taghna              

The truth is I was in transit

With my dear Joseph

And all the luggage

You could have called me

After I landed

 

I have said too much                

I hope that Joseph will not be so angry with me

But all you have to do

Is vote for him again

And all my dreams come true
