Aug 12 2024 Share

Peppi Azzopardi, host of the popular Maltese talk show Xarabank, has become a grandfather and celebrated the occasion by writing a song inspired by Kurt Calleja’s “Bla Tarf”.

Peppi and his wife Mandy’s son Xandru Azzopardi has become a father for the first time with his partner Marlene.

Reflecting on his joy, Azzopardi wrote, “How I waited for you to come. In my heart, you lit a flame. Whether mischievous or calm, what matters is that you made us grandparents.”

Before sharing his version of the song, Azzopardi sought permission from the original writer. He mentioned that he plans to continue working on his adaptation.

The original song was written by Kurt Calleja, with music by Calleja, Aleandro Spiteri Monsigneur, and Peter Borg. It won the Mużika Mużika local song contest in 2022.
