Mendian Gora Haritza
Mendian gora haritza
Ahuntzak haitzean dabiltza
Itsasoaren arimak dakar
Ur gainean bitsa
Kantatu nahi dut bizitza
Usteltzen ez bazait hitza
Mundua dantzan
Jarriko nuke jainkoa banintza
Euskal herriko tristura
Soineko beltzen joskura
Txori negartiz bete da eta
Umorez hustu da
Emaidazue freskura
Ura eskutik eskura
Izarren salda urdina edanda
Bizi naiz gustora
Euskal herriko poeta
Kanposantuko tronpeta
Hil kanpaiari tiraka eta
Hutsari topeka
Argitu ezak kopeta penak heuretzat gordeta
Goizero sortuz bizitza ere
Hortxe zegok eta
Mundua ez da beti jai
Iñoiz tristea ere bai
Bainan badira mila motibo
Kantatzeko alai
Bestela datozen penai
Ez diet surik bota nahi
Ni hiltzen naizen gauean behintzat
Egizue lo lasai
Up the Mountain the Ram
Up the mountain the ram
The sheep walk on the rocks
The sea breeze brings
The smell of the water
I want to sing about life
If the word doesn't deceive you
I would put God in a dance
If I were a believer
The sadness of the Basque Country
The warmth of the sheep's wool
The bird has been filled with mourning
And has lost its humor
Give me freshness
Water from hand to hand
The blue thread of the stars woven
I live happily
The poet of the Basque Country
The trumpet of the countryside
Chasing the sound of death
And bumping into emptiness
The hidden pen of the explanations kept for you
Creating life every morning
That's where it belongs
The world is not always a celebration
Sometimes it's sad too
But there are a thousand reasons
To sing happily
Otherwise, for the pains to come
I don't want to throw a sigh
At least in the night I'm dying
Let me sleep peacefully
