Literally translating anything into any language is already hilarious, but adding Maltese to the mix just somehow makes it a thousand times funnier.
This week on XFM’s Big Breakfast, dynamic duo Oz and Jay challenged listeners to come up with literal Maltese translations of popular band names. The result, as expected, was downright hilarious, and inspired by the big guys themselves, we’ve come up with a couple ourselves.
How many of these can you guess?
1. Divi?joni tal-Fer?
2. Xkubetti u Ward
3. Msiemer tad-Disa’ Pulzieri
4. L-A?wa Kimi?i
5. Firenze u l-Magna
6. Il-Qattiela
7. Daqqa Tal-Mewt B’?ames Swaba’
8. Palpettun
9. Kurrent Jalterna, Kurrent Dirett
10. Il-Kinks
Let’s face it; this one can remain untranslated and still be the most Maltese one on this list
