Old Bitterness

Agure zahar

An old bitternessAgure zahar batek zion
approached his housebere etxe aurrean
early in the morninggoizean goiz lantokira
when I was leaving:irteten nintzanean:
Don't you see, young one,Ez al dek, gazte, ikusten
where our little house is?gure etxola zein dan?
If we don't hurry,desegiten ez badugu,
we'll lose it there.bertan galduko gera.

But all togetherBaina guztiok batera
we tried to push it away,saiatu hura botatzera,
it's starting to get heavy,usteltzen hasita dago-ta,
soon it will fall.laister eroriko da.
There's a strong blow from there,Hik bultza gogor hortikan,
and a blow from here,ta bultza nik hemendikan,
let's see howikusiko dek nola-nola
soon it will fall.laister eroriko dan.

But time goes by,Baina denbora badoa,
we have started to get tired,nekea zaigu hasi,
our hands are tied,eskuak zartatu zaizkit,
and we let go of our strength.eta indarrak utzi.
Even if it's heavy,Usteltzen badago ere,
it still has a load,karga badu oraindik,
let's try againberriz arnasa hartzeko
to breathe together:esaigun elkarrekin:

But all togetherBaina guztiok batera
we tried to push it away ...saiatu hura botatzera ...

The old bitterness is missingAgure zaharra falta da
from next to our house,gure etxe ondotik,
a bad wind took ithaize txar batek hartu ta
and carried it away.eraman du hemendik.
I see some childrenHaur batzuk ikusten ditut
and around them,eta inguraturik,
I want to showaitona zaharraren kanta
the old grandfather's song:nahi diet erakutsi:

But all togetherBaina guztiok batera
we tried to push it away...saiatu hura botatzera...
