iżda

Uncertain. Perhaps from Arabic أَصْدَق (ʔaṣdaq, “more truthfully”, in the sense of “rather, more properly”). As the emphatic -ṣ- could have been assimilated to the -d- and/or dissimilated against the -q-, the form is entirely regular but for the loss of the final consonant. This loss in turn seems plausible in such a frequently used word (and perhaps also by analogy with the synonymous imma).

qlajja

Probably derived from qala’ (“to pull out, extract”), which is also used in the sense of “to invent something baseless”. The alternative spelling qlajja’ attempts to align it with that root, but regarding the plural in -iet there appears to be no basis for still postulating an underlying għ in this word.

Fuq it-triq ta’ Birkirkara int u sejjer San Ġiljan,
 Hemm salib fuq il-kolonna, musbieħ jixgħel lejl u nhar.
 Das-salib, jekk darba tħares lejh, iqanqallek kurżità.
 Għandu storja jrid jirrakkontaha,
 Iżda jgħidha ma jistax, għax sieket.

“Rajt, ma rajtx”performed by Tony Camilleri:

In Birkirkara when you take the road to San Ġiljan,
 There’s a cross on a column with a lamp shining day and night.
 If you ever look at that cross, it’ll stir your curiosity.
 It has a story that it wants to tell,
 But it can’t say it because it’s mute.
