Merħba! Idħol, idħol, ejja hawn ġew fejn frisk. Din hija d-dar tiegħi, imma issa, ħabbilha, hija tagħkom ukoll f'Rabat.

Welcome! Come in, come in, come inside where it's cool. This is my home, but now, rest assured, it is yours too in Rabat.

Grazzi ħafna, Marija! Ħares lejn il-bieb ta' barra, kemm hu sabiħ! Jiena lesta niskopri kollox.

Thank you very much, Marija! Look at the front door, how beautiful it is! I am ready to discover everything.

Grazzi, qalbi. Ara hawn, dawn iċ-ċwievet. Waħda kbira għall-bieb prinċipali u waħda żgħira għall-kamra tagħkom.

Thank you, my dear. Look here, these keys. A big one for the main door and a small one for your room.

Sewwa, kemm hi sabiħa n-natura tal-ħadid f'dawn iċ-ċwievet! Grazzi, Marija, imma kemm huma tqal!

Right, how beautiful the iron craftsmanship is on these keys! Thank you, Marija, but how heavy they are!

Eżatt, huma antiki. Issa, ejjew nimxu fil-kuritur lejn il-bitħa. Imma tafu, il-bieb tal-bitħa rridu nżommuh magħluq dejjem.

Exactly, they are antique. Now, let's walk down the corridor towards the courtyard. But you know, we must always keep the courtyard door closed.

Għala għandu jibqa' magħluq u qatt miftuħ? Minħabba l-kesħa ġewwa d-dar?

Why should it stay closed and never open? Because of the cool temperature inside the house?

Iva, biex iżżomm il-kesħa tal-ġebla ġewwa, imma wkoll għax hemm qattus barra li dejjem jipprova jidħol jiekol l-ikel tagħhom.

Yes, to keep the coolness of the stone inside, but also because there is a cat outside that always tries to come in and eat their food.

Ħaġa ġenna! Melaa l-qattus iħobb jidħol jekk il-bieb jitħalla miftuħ.

Good heavens! So the cat likes to come in if the door is left open.

Preċiż. Ara, jiena se mmur il-bitħa malajr biex nurikom fejn inħalli l-ikel tagħhom...

Precisely. Look, I am going to the courtyard quickly to show you where I leave their food...

Ħasra! X'tempesta ta' riħ! Il-bieb tilef mir-riħ u ngħalaq f'daqqa!

What a pity! What a gust of wind! The door caught the wind and slammed shut!

Le, Marija! Issa int hemm barra fil-bitħa u aħna nqabdu hawn fil-kuritur! U ċ-ċavetta għand Liam!

No, Marija! Now you are out there in the courtyard and we are trapped here in the corridor! And Liam has the key!

Tinkwetaw xejn! Kalm, kalm. Liam, ismagħni sew mit-toqba taċ-ċavetta. Is-serratur tal-ħadid huwa antik ħafna.

Don't worry at all! Calm down, calm down. Liam, listen to me carefully through the keyhole. The iron lock is very old.

OK, qed nismagħkom, Marija. Daħħalt iċ-ċavetta l-kbira imma l-mekkaniżmu jidher maħkuk ftit.

OK, I can hear you, Marija. I inserted the big key but the mechanism seems a bit stiff.

Iva, is-serratur maħkuk għax trid timbuttah 'il fuq qabel ma ddawwar iċ-ċavetta bil-qawwa kollha.

Yes, the lock is stiff because you have to push it up before turning the key with all your strength.

Kompli bil-mod, Liam. Sadanittant, jien se nieħu ritratt ta' din l-arkata tal-ġebel sabiħa, id-dawl hawn huwa perfett għall-APP tiegħi!

Keep going slowly, Liam. Meanwhile, I'm going to take a picture of this beautiful stone archway, the light here is perfect for my app!

Emma, jekk jogħġbok, għin minflok ma tieħu ritratti! OK, qed inlaħħaq is-serratur 'il fuq... u qed iddur...

Emma, please, help instead of taking photos! OK, I'm pushing the lock up... and it's turning...

Hekk stess, Liam! Dur sewwa!

That's it, Liam! Turn it well!

Sare! Il-mekkaniżmu fetaħ il-bieb fl-aħħar!

Done! The mechanism finally opened the door!

Perfett! Grazzi ħafna, Liam, int bqajt miftuħ għall-avventura tagħna!

Perfect! Thanks a lot, Liam, you saved our adventure!

Ġenn assolut! Dan ir-ritratt ħareġ mill-isbaħ, u l-bieb reġa' miftuħ ukoll!

Absolute madness! This photo turned out beautifully, and the door is open again too!
