Il-Kantilena
Witness my predicament, my friends (neighbours), as I shall relate it to you:[What] never has there been, neither in the past, nor in your lifetime,
A [similar] heart, ungoverned, without lord or sultan,
That threw me down a well, with broken stairs
Where, yearning to drown, I descend the steps of my downfall,
I climb back up and down again, always faced with high seas.
It (she) fell, my building, its foundations collapsed
