Hbiberija Orkestrali / An orchestral friendship
By the storytellers at Imtarfa
It happens at the ShoeMaker - sure
Perhaps in a theatre
There's a man doing that.
They're on stage.
Legs.
The shoes are not in pairs - there are 10.
There was a pagaent in the theatre
Because they are on stage.
Maybe at the Salesians Theatre.
The curtains are still closed,
in a hall or at the Manoel Theatre.
There was a Christmas show.
There are 10 legs.
Or at Carneval, since the shoes are not the same - Technicolor - all different
One white, one pink, one green, one black.
The Pagaent is over and they're showing what happened before.
They're chatting behind the curtain, their face does not show, only their legs.
They're preparing for their dance
perhaps that was Princess Poutiatine.
Plenty of legs.
A lot of people in the audience that came to watch 10 legs.
The girls will be dancing.
The spectacle is over and they're clapping because they enjoyed it.
The man is pointing out that those are not the same shoes.
It was Winter
The audience is double - because it was ample.
I think it was Saturday.
After they went to rest or they went for dinner in a restaurant or at the Tower in Sliema, or at one of our family's hotels : the Adelaide Hotel, the Crown Hotel or the Meadow Bank.
They did not like it.
They're at the Manoel Theatre.
That line is not going above their heads.
The shoes don't match
That's a wind instrument - a Trumpet.

Tigri ghand taz-Zraben - bilfors -
Iktar f'teatru
Fuq il-Palk qeghdin.
Iz-Zraben mhux par - hemm 10.
Saret paegent fit-teatru
ghax fuq il-palk qeghdin.
Forsi s-Salesjani.
Is-Siparju ghadu maghluq
fxi' sala, jew it-teatru Manoel.
Kien hemm xi Show tal-Christmas
Hemm 10 saqajn.
Jew fil-Karneval ghax iz-zraben mhux l-istess -
Technicolor - kollha differenti
Wiehed abjad, wiehed rosa, wiehed ahdar, wiehed iswed.
Il-Pageant spicca u dawk qeghdin jipprezentaw x'gara qabel.
Qeghdin jippreparaw ghad-danza
Forsi kienet Princess Poutiatine.
Qed jitkellmu bejniethom - Qabda saqajn
Il-poplu qieghed fl-udjenza
gew jaraw 10 saqajn !
Ser jizfnu t-tfajliet.
It-teatru spicca u qed icapcpu ghax ghogobhom.
Ir-ragel qed jurihom li dawk mhux l'istess zraben.
Kienet ix-Xitwa
L-udjenza kienet doppja - ghax kienet kbira.
Nahseb kien is-Sibt.
Marru jistriehu wara jew marru jieklu go xi hanut
jew It-Tower Tas-Sliema, jew ghand il-familja tieghi : l'Adelaide Hotel, il Crown Hotel jew il-Meadow Bank.
Ma ghogobohmx.
Hawnhekk it-Teatru Manoel.
Dak il-line mhux ghaddej minn fuq rashom.
Iz-zraben mhux xorta
Dak strument tan-nifs - Trumbetta...
