Aspaldiko Loreak

Long-Ago Flowers

Aspaldiko Loreak

In the playground of masksMaskaren topaleku
Even though I lose in victoryGaraituan galtzen nahiz
Balancing clumsilyBalantzaka arrastaka
I sell myselfEramaten ditut

Those who walked beforeAurretik dabiltzanak
With fake sleevesManiki faltsuak
They seem clearDirudite argipean
The skins of peopleGizakien larruak

Long-ago flowersAspaldiko loreak
Melting in the asphaltAsfaltoan simeltzen
At their hoursHiren orduetan
They are bornSorgintzen diraute
In twisted thoughtsEstizo pentsaldetan
Once such a kissBehin holako musu
In the eternal firstEterna lehenetan

I gather the thickest spikesBarrote ugartuen
Into the puddleLubakira biltzen naiz
Clumsily, absentmindedlyNarrastaka ahapeka
I can avoid themSaihestu ditzaket

Those I have behindAtzetik ditudanak
Fallen heroesHeroi erailak
They seem in the shadeDirudite itzalpean
Their heart bonesGarun hezur horailak

Long-ago flowersAspaldiko loreak
Melting in the asphaltAsfaltoan simeltzen
At their hoursHiren orduetan
They are bornSorgintzen diraute
In twisted thoughtsEstizo pentsaldetan
Once such a kissBehin holako musu
In the eternal firstEterna lehenetan

Drenched in rainEuria kondenatuz
I rush to the squarePlazara makurtzen naiz
The most cursedEstatuko banderarik
Of the state flagsIzen tankerrena

I start to cleanHasi doz zuritzera
There is no skyZerurik ez dago
To raise that flagBandera hura goratzeko
To soak it in the stormEkaizpean gurtzeko

And drenched in rainEta Euria kondenatuz
I rush to the squarePlazara makurtzen naiz
The most cursedEstatuko banderarik
Of the state flagsIzen tankerrena

I start to cleanHasi doz zuritzera
There is no skyZerurik ez dago
To raise that flagBandera hura goratzeko
To soak it in the stormEkaizpean gurtzeko
To soak it in the stormEkaizpean gurtzeko
To soak it in the stormEkaizpean gurtzeko
