Ihesa zilegi balitz
Ihes betea zilegi balitz
nunbait balego bakea
ni ez nintzake etxe ertzeko
loredien maitalea.
Ni ez nintzake oinazearen
menpeko mixerablea
oihu zekenen destinatzaile
etsipenaren semea.
Ni ez nintzake iñorentzako
eskandaluzko kaltea
lur hotz batetan aldatutako
landare sustrai gabea.
Ihes ederra zilegi balitz
urra ahal baledi katea
ni ez nintzake ontzi gabeko
itsasgizon ahalgea.
If the escape were real
If the full escape were real
where peace would exist somewhere
I wouldn't be the lover
of the flowers at the edge of the house.
I wouldn't be the miserable
wretch at the mercy of shame
the recipient of cries
the son of contempt.
I wouldn't be the scandalous
loss for someone else
the plant without roots
changed in a cold land.
If the beautiful escape were real
the rope could be broken
I wouldn't be the sailor
without a boat.
