  • Nizza

    Trid tkun vaganza kulltant biex troddlok lura il-perspettiva li tkun tlift mat-triq tar-rutina u l-ħajja ta’ kuljum. Minkejja li għoddni għaddejt ġimagħtejn sew Malta dawk ma servewnix għal dan l-iskop. Dal-weekend morna Nizza. Jumejn kollox. Tlaqna il-ġimgħa u lura l-Ħadd tard filgħaxija. Sabiħa wisq Nizza.

  • New Livery, New Purpose

Here at J’accuse we like to do things strangely every once in a while…

  • I.N.R.I – la tordue (maqluba)

    The original song is in French (scroll below for video). I have tried my luck at translating it. Yep. Just for fun.   I.N.R.I – la tordue kollu tort tiegħek dan kollu tort tiegħek dawk kollha li jiġu għandek qatt ma jiġu lura fik inwaħħlu ħabib fik inwaħħlu tiġġennibx hekk ħabib tiġġennibx hekk hawn m’għandniex…
