Bertso berriak
Bertso berriak jartzera noa
euskara garbi batean
hitz politen bila ez etorri
hortaz gelditu atean
barruak lasaituko ditut
eztarriaren kaltean
nire kantuak idurituko du
zakurren zaunka katean.
Uztaila hontan beteko ditut
nik nahi baino urte gehio
ilea galtzearren nik ez dut
ematen gizon serio
ene hitz garbienak ere ez du
inon ezer ez balio
nire buruari sekulan ez dio
inork jarriko prezio.
Gau ixil hontan ikusten zaitut
iparraldeko izarra
hamabost urteko neska baten
ametsa bezain ederra
urruti zaude mundu hontatik
librea eta bakarra
inoren menpe kantatzen duzu ta
zure boza da zilarra.
Eguzkiaren hautsak horitzen
duenean egun berria
pozten zara gaztain iluna
zabaltzen duzu orria
ez zara makina beltz baten
pioi zerbitzaria
kalean arrastaka dabilen
nire antzeko piztia.
New Verses
I'm going to put new verses
in a clean Basque
Don't come looking for pretty words
just stay at the door
I will calm the insides
in the damage of the dagger
My song will resemble
a chain for the dogs.
This July I will fill it up
with more years than I want
I won't give in even if I lose my hair
to a serious man
Even my clearest words
are worth nothing anywhere
My head will never
have a price set by anyone.
In this quiet night I see you
the northern star
as beautiful as the dream
of a fifteen-year-old girl
You are far from this world
free and alone
You sing in someone's ear
your voice is silver.
When the sun's rays
awaken it
you rejoice in the dark chestnut
spreading the leaf
You're not a servant
of a black machine
You walk stealthily in the street
like a spark like me.
