Central locking gangetti army with the lukjata - Morris Minor only
The glass awtomatijk goes alone x-shaking - Morris Minor only

Gearbox iddimunjata qisa sewing machine - Morris Minor only
Aircondition wired because I use the hair dryer - Morris Minor only
Power steering of qziez harden every day - only minor Morris

Judging by Ben's translation, 'Biss' means 'only'.

Seems to be along the lines of 'only a morris minor could have these many flaws/features'! A bit like 'only in America'.

That's google translations btw

I guessed

I've emailed him asking for a translation, what's the worst that could happen?

He could turn up at the next National Rally and sing it?

Well there is good news and bad news.
The good news is he got a friend to translate the lyrics;
MORRIS MINOR BISS - (ONLY A MORRIS MINOR)

A very popular and special car

it’s equiped with the latest technology

its got central locking with hooks to secure it

automatic windows that slide down on their own while I’m driving


I have to push it to start it

the gearbox is so smooth it’s like a sewing machine

the airconditioning is dire so I use a hairdryer

power steering’s so good, each day it gets stiffer


Ole Ole - its not so bad it still has four wheels

Ole Ole - it struggles uphill

Ala xanxe - the seats are reclining

Ala xanxe - for the odd bit of nooky


Baby, can I sit in the front

Baby, take me out for a spin




If I put it in first, it goes in reverse

When I switch on the indicators, the radiator gets hotter

When I switch on the lights, the battery goes flat

The silencer is peppered, like it’s been out whoring


Power brakes are so old, they’re on their last legs

Its got rustproofing everywhere with the best Linseed oil

The wipers stop working when they get wet

The horn sounds like someone farting

Ole Ole - its not so bad it still has four wheels

Ole Ole - it struggles uphill

Ala xanxe - the seats are reclining

Ala xanxe - for the odd bit of nooky


Baby, this will surely pass the test

Baby, Morris Minor the best


The bad news is that the car itself fell victim of the Maltese scrappage scheme

Joe is available for rallies, national or otherwise Bar Mitzvahs and weddings.

"The air conditioning is dire, so I use a haidryer"! Almost poetical in the translation
As for"....peppered like its been out whoring"-that gets the mind reeling a bit
