Gora ta gora beti
Gora ta gora beti,
haik gora Lapurdi!
Euskerak bizi gaitu
eta bizi bedi.
Gorantza doa agudo kapitala
eta Lapurdi beti dago apala,
aldrebesturik dago mundu zitala,
konformatzen ez bagara
ze pekatu mortala!
Gurea ez da bizi-modu normala
lurra lantzeko haitzurra eta pala,
lanaren truke kobratzen erreala.
Benetan da miserable
euskaldunon jornala.
Munduan ezin bizi daiteke hala,
merkatuetan dena gora doala,
etxera eta zopa guztiz argala,
kriseiluen oiloa
ez da postre formala.
Obrero eta nekazari leiala,
zuena ez da errenta liberala.
Diru zikinak putre motzak bezala
botatzen dizu gainera
hortxe bere itzala.
Jabeek dute kontzientzi zabala,
kaskatu dute gure lurren azala,
baina Lapurdi ez da hain zerbitzala;
burruka garbian dago
hori da printzipala.
Up and always up
Up and always up,
up Lapurdi!
The Basque keeps us alive
and must live.
The capital goes up sharp
and Lapurdi is always pale,
the world is full of wrinkles,
if we don't conform
what a mortal sin!
Ours is not a normal way of life
a stone and shovel to work the land,
in exchange for work, we receive the real.
It truly is miserable
the Basque people's daily life.
One cannot live like this in the world,
everything goes up in markets,
home and soup completely clear,
the oil of crises
is not a formal dessert.
A loyal worker and farmer,
yours is not a liberal income.
Riches are thrown on you
like small rotten fish,
there they leave their mark.
The owners have a strong conscience,
they have trampled on our land,
but Lapurdi is not so servile;
the dirt is clean
that is the main thing.
