The Tree of Gernika
The tree of Gernika
is blessed
Among the Basques
completely loved.
Give and spread
the fruit in the world
we adore you
holy tree
It's been around a thousand years
they say
that it was placed by God
the tree of Gernika.
If you are standing by it
now is the time
if it falls
we are completely lost
You will not fall
beloved tree
if it is carried
by the Assembly of Biscay.
We will all take part
with you
living in peace
the Basque people.
May you live forever
to ask the Lord
let us all be
soon on our knees.
And when we ask
from our hearts
the tree will live
now and forever.
Whoever thinks
of cutting down the tree
in the Basque Country
we all know.
If there are people
we have time now
before it falls
we must keep it.
You will always be
like spring
without the stain
of wilted flowers.
If you are dear to me
our hearts
without losing time
bearing fruit.
The tree has answered
to live carefully
and from our hearts
to ask the Lord,
we do not want war
only peace forever,
our true laws
to love here.
We ask
to the Lord God
for peace
now and always.
And also strength
to the land of nothingness
and blessings
to the Basque Country.
