Euskadin, Castillan bezala

In Euskadi, like in Castile

Euskadin, Castillan bezala

My great-grandfather SeguraEne Segurako aitonak
when he needed breadogia behar zuenean
would go to CastileCastillara joaten zen
for day labor,jornalaritzara,
to the mines.morrointzara.

His workshop was said to be richBere igitaia trebenetakoa omen zen
yes, indeed...bai, hori bai…
He had ten children at homeHamar haur zituen gosez etxean
yes!, indeed!bai!, hori bai!

When the day laborers from CastileCastillako jornalariek
want breadogia nahi dutenean
they come to GoierriGoierrira joaten dira
for day labor,jornalaritzara,
to the factories.fabriketara.

The outsiders are said to be greedy in the squareKanpokoak pizkorrak omen dira peontzan
yes, indeed...bai, hori bai…
If they have eleven children at homeHamaika haur badute gosez etxean
yes!, indeed!bai!, hori bai!

About the Castilian lords and the Goierri chimneysCastillako soroez eta Goierriko tximiniez
if my great-grandfather and the Castilianene aitona eta kastellanoak
were the owners,jabe bazeneza,
their children's footstepsheuren haurren haseak
would not see more escape!ez lukete ihes gehiagorik ikusiko!
not in Castile, not in Euskadi.ez Castillan, ez Euskadin.
