What “Orqod, Orqod, Tifli” Means
Maltese is the only Semitic language in the European Union, written in the Latin alphabet, and Valletta, Malta’s capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage city built by the Knights of Malta from honey-coloured limestone. This original lullaby, in Maltese, borrows both, the calm Mediterranean and the glowing old city.
