Talk:L-Innu Malti

message: I do not agree with the translation of the anthem.  How can someone translate something which is national and particular to a country? I remember in the past there was even a private school in Malta, for girls, which tried to make them sing the anthem in English.  Let us not repeat history. Or else place "for information only".

replies: text: eh, singing the anthem in English.  I get the picture..  I added a note saying that it is written in Maltese.  That, together with the "translated.." words, should tell readers which is the original, I think? Srl 17:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Agree, can you write or rewrite some text also? Srl 17:22, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

text: from national anthem: A national anthem is a generally patriotic musical composition that is formally recognized by a country's government as their state's official national song.  I think it is implied here?  One could say even though maltese and english are official languages the hymn is sung in maltese only.  To me that sets up a tension that doesn't need to be in this article at best or at worst is POV.. I offset the english in italics now, what do you think? Srl 17:22, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
