Amayur gaztelu beltza
Amayur gaztelu beltz ori
-berreun gudari oso sumin-
zaintzen zaituben zaldun onak
Naparra-aldez egin dabe zin.
Izkillu gorriz zenbat gazte
bildur-bako menditar lerden.
Eta horreik, Yatsu jaun horreik,
Jabier'eko zaldun gure.
Ikurrin bat -kate ta lili-
torre goitijan zabal dago.
Bera salduko daun semerik
mendi honetan ezta jayo.
Amayur'ko ate-zain horrek
zidar-turutaz oyu egik.
Baztan ibarran zenbat etsai,
arrotz-gabe eztago mendirik!
Etsiturik Amayur dauko
Miranda'ko konde Españarrak.
Horreik bai burnizko janzkijak,
ta urrezko ezpata-sagarrak!
Berekin dator, bai berekin,
Lerin'go eto horren semia.
Txakur txarrak jango al dabe,
herri-bako zaldun dongia.
Goiko aldetik hasten dira,
hasten dira subaga-otsez.
Horma-kontretan zenbat zurgu,
eta gezi zorrotzak airez!
Baña torrean zabal dabil,
ikurrin bat -kate ta lili-.
Nok zapaldu ete dagikez
berrehun gudari orok zoli?
Amayur'ko gaztelu baltza
-iausi yatzuz torre goitijak-.
Baña, arrotza, etzadi geldu,
napar-seme dira guztijak.
Harresi gorri, zubi ausi,
-zein gitxi diran zaldun horreik.
Erijo, samurño zakije
aberri-min baitabiltz eureik.
Miranda'ko konde gaizto horrek
jo egixuz zidar-turutak.
Ikurrin bat -kate ta lili-
eztau laztanduko axeak.
Berrehun gudari oso sumin
gaztelu-pian dagoz illik.
Ordutik ona -zenbat laño-,
Naparruan ezta aberririk.
The Black Castle of Amayur
The black castle of Amayur
- with a hundred brave soldiers inside -
the good horsemen who protect you
have been made by the Navarrese.
How many young men with red scars
are gathered in the mountain pass.
And those, those gentlemen,
are the horsemen of Jabier.
A flag - red and white -
is flying high on the tower.
He will sell his own son
but he will not be born in this mountain.
Those gatekeepers of Amayur
are making a noise with their spears.
In the valley of Baztan, how many enemies,
without weapons, there is no mountain!
Amayur is surrounded
by the Count of Miranda.
He has the best jackets,
and golden sword-belts!
He comes with him, yes with him,
the son of the Lord of Lerin.
Will the bad dogs eat him,
the lord of the whole village.
They start from the top,
they start with the sound of the horn.
How many sharp arrows on the wall,
and fierce spears in the air!
But the flag is flying high on the tower,
a flag - red and white -.
Who will dare to attack
a hundred brave soldiers?
The black castle of Amayur
- with the towers full of spears -.
But, the brave, they will not stop,
they are all sons of Navarre.
Red walls, broken bridge,
-how few those horsemen are.
Erijo, with his fierce look,
they are walking with a bitter heart.
The wicked Count of Miranda
is making the noise with his spears.
A flag - red and white -
will not stop the axes.
A hundred brave soldiers inside
are lying in the castle.
Since then - how many years -,
there is no defeat in Navarre.
