Malta (i/ˈmɒltə/; Maltese: [ˈmɐltɐ]), officially the Republic of Malta (Maltese: Repubblika ta' Malta), is a Southern European island country comprising an archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. It lies 80 km (50 mi) south of Italy, 284 km (176 mi) east of Tunisia, and 333 km (207 mi) north of Libya. The country covers just over 316 km2 (122 sq mi), with a population of just under 450,000 (despite an extensive emigration programme since the Second World War), making it one of the world's smallest and most densely populated countries. The capital of Malta is Valletta, which at 0.8 km2, is the smallest national capital in the European Union. Malta has two official languages: Maltese and English.
Malta's location has historically given it great strategic importance as a naval base, and a succession of powers, including the Phoenicians, Romans, Moors, Normans, Sicilians, Spanish, Knights of St. John, French and British, have ruled the islands.
Crazy in love.
Ain’t funny how time
Steals the feeling from a love affair
And there’s no place to lay the blame
‘cos in any case, oh, no one cares
helplessly we just watched it fade away
neither will admit it
are we both aching to say.
We, you, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you were so sure of me, I had my little jealousy.
We, you, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I wanna feel that way again, remember when we were crazy in love.
I know it used to be so easy
One touch and I was high
And I could get intoxicated
Just by looking in your eyes
Oh, baby ain’t there anything we can do
‘cos I know you’re missing me
as much as I’ve been missing you.
We, you, …
Girl, we were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love.
