Ghandu Storja jrid jirrakkontaha Izda jghidha ma jistax
Ghax sieket

P.S. There's this list of 1000 most common Maltese words... there are some problems there, so I don't know how correct it is. But, it exists, and all information on it isn't bad.

These words are given in English, not in Maltese, which makes me think they have just taken a list and translated it on Babelfish or something. 
2 - I - I is not I in Maltese, but jien/jiena
33 - a - doesn't exist
37 - out - barra
41 - do - għamel
50 - tell - qal
