Violetaren Martxa

Violeta's March

Violetaren Martxa

Our beloved VioletaGure Violeta maitea
Dance the march,Dantzan egizu martxea
With the handkerchief in your right handLen eskuineko ankea
And then the other.Bai eta gero bestea
Look at the Basque people,Begira euskal jendea
Heart full of joy,Bihotza pozez betea
Breaking the same chainApurtzen berdin katea
And the pair of shoes.Eta zapata parea

I never thoughtSekulan ez nun uste nik
You were so changeable,Hain aldakorra zinenik
Born in AmericaAmeriketan sorturik
And entering our world.Gure aldera sarturik
In the world there is nothingMunduan ez da besterik
More beautiful than this,Hau baino ederragorik
Not knowing how to beNola egon jakin barik
Dead and then alive.Hil eta gero bizirik

This is a long marchHauxe da martxa alarguna
Rarely heardOso gutxitan entzuna
Although famous in ChileNahiz ta Txilen famaduna
You surely don't know,Zuk zihur ez dakizuna
Violeta Parra, friendVioleta Parra laguna
A very well-known singer,Kantari oso ezaguna
Half Basque from now on,Gaurtik erdi euskalduna
This sound you have made.Da soinu hau egin duna
