Father and Son

Aita Semeak

Father and son are at the barAita semeak tabernan daude
Mother and kids are playing,Ama-alabak jokoan,
Father and son are at the barAita semeak tabernan daude
Mother and kids are playing.Ama-alabak jokoan.

We’ll have to see againBerriz ikusi beharko dugu
The fat cow in the neighborhood,Behi gizena auzoan,
Once more, there won’t be a shortageBerriro ere ez da faltako
Of old rags on the hook.Trapu zaharrik kakoan.

Father and son are at the barAita semeak tabernan daude
Mother and kids are playing,Ama-alabak jokoan,
Father and son are at the barAita semeak tabernan daude
Mother and kids are playing.Ama-alabak jokoan.

And the thieves have ransackedEta lapurrek ohostu dute
What we had at home,Guk gendukana etxean,
And here we are half-nakedEta gu gaude erdi biluzik
Always under someone’s thumb.Beti inoren menpean.

All the blame is ours,Geurea dugu erru guztia,
All of it is on us,Geurea dugu osoan,
Don’t blame anyone elseEz inori ba errua bota
For killing our homeland.Euskal herria hiltzean.

But I’m young and I’ve gotBaina gaztea naiz eta daukat
The future in my hands,Etorkizuna eskuan,
Our homeland won’t dieEz zaigu hilgo euskal herria
While I’m still alive.Ni bizi naizen artean.
