Agure zaharra

Old Man

Agure zaharra

An old man used to sit in front of his houseAgure zahar batek zion bere etxe aurrean
When I used to go to work early in the morning:goizean goiz lantokira irteten nintzanean:
Don't you see, young one, how our little house is?Ez al dek, gazte, ikusten gure etxola zein dan?
If we don't take care of it, we will lose it.desegiten ez badugu, bertan galduko gera.

But all togetherBaina guztiok batera
We tried to push him away,saiatu hura botatzera,
He is starting to get upset,usteltzen hasita dago-ta,
He will fall soon.laister eroriko da.
With a strong push from there,Hik bultza gogor hortikan,
And a push from me here,ta bultza nik hemendikan,
We will see howikusiko dek nola-nola
He will fall soon.laister eroriko dan.

But time goes by, we started to get tired,Baina denbora badoa, nekea zaigu hasi,
I have grabbed his arms, and left the strength.eskuak zartatu zaizkit, eta indarrak utzi.
Even if he is starting to get upset, he still has a load,Usteltzen badago ere, karga badu oraindik,
Let's say together to take a breath again:berriz arnasa hartzeko esaigun elkarrekin:

But all together we tried to push him away...Baina guztiok batera saiatu hura botatzera...

The old man is missing from next to our house,Agure zaharra falta da gure etxe ondotik,
A bad wind has taken him and carried him away.haize txar batek hartu ta eraman du hemendik.
I see some children and look around,Haur batzuk ikusten ditut eta inguraturik,
I want to show them the old man's song:aitona zaharraren kanta nahi diet erakutsi:

But all together we tried to push him away...Baina guztiok batera saiatu hura botatzera...
