Gora ta gora beti

Up and always up

Gora ta gora beti

Up and always up,Gora ta gora beti,
up Lapurdi!haik gora Lapurdi!
The Basque keeps us aliveEuskerak bizi gaitu
and must live.eta bizi bedi.

The capital goes up sharpGorantza doa agudo kapitala
and Lapurdi is always pale,eta Lapurdi beti dago apala,
the world is full of wrinkles,aldrebesturik dago mundu zitala,
if we don't conformkonformatzen ez bagara
what a mortal sin!ze pekatu mortala!

Ours is not a normal way of lifeGurea ez da bizi-modu normala
a stone and shovel to work the land,lurra lantzeko haitzurra eta pala,
in exchange for work, we receive the real.lanaren truke kobratzen erreala.
It truly is miserableBenetan da miserable
the Basque people's daily life.euskaldunon jornala.

One cannot live like this in the world,Munduan ezin bizi daiteke hala,
everything goes up in markets,merkatuetan dena gora doala,
home and soup completely clear,etxera eta zopa guztiz argala,
the oil of criseskriseiluen oiloa
is not a formal dessert.ez da postre formala.

A loyal worker and farmer,Obrero eta nekazari leiala,
yours is not a liberal income.zuena ez da errenta liberala.
Riches are thrown on youDiru zikinak putre motzak bezala
like small rotten fish,botatzen dizu gainera
there they leave their mark.hortxe bere itzala.

The owners have a strong conscience,Jabeek dute kontzientzi zabala,
they have trampled on our land,kaskatu dute gure lurren azala,
but Lapurdi is not so servile;baina Lapurdi ez da hain zerbitzala;
the dirt is cleanburruka garbian dago
that is the main thing.hori da printzipala.
