Rich people from BizkaiaBizkaiko aberatsak
are money lovers,dira diruzale,
pig merchantstxerri-erosle eta
and chorizo sellers.txorizo-saltzaile.
They fill the shopsDendaz bete dituzte
in Bilbao's seven streets,Bilbon zazpi kale,
never givinginoiz ez dute eman
a step for free,pausorik debalde,
they stumbleburrukatzen baitute
on the side of money.diruaren alde.

The man from ArratiaArratiko gizona

the old rascallehengo arlotea
will wear a tie.jantziko da galaiz.

and the young ones runkorrikan gaztiak
they want to sell himsaldu nahi dizkiote
busted mulesmakailu bustiak

and the suneta eguzkiak
no one to deceiveinor engainatzeko
what a mess.nolako trastiak.
