Xalbadorren heriotzean

In the Death of Xalbador

Xalbadorren heriotzean

There was a friendAdiskide bat bazen
Always heartfeltOrotan bihozbera
Wings of poetryPoesiaren hegoek
Verses full of feelingSentimenduzko bertsoek
Reflecting what was insideAntzaldatzen zutena

A singer in the squaresPlazetako kantari
Filled with lonelinessBakardadez josia
Words like a vine bloomingHitzen lihoa iruten
Enduring within himselfBere barnean irauten
Learned through pain, learned through painOinazez ikasia ikasia

Where am I, what fieldsNun hago, zer larretan
The shepherd of UrepelUrepeleko artzaina
Climbing the mountain slopesMendi hegaletan gora
To the time of memoriesOroitzapenen den gerora
Running away, you were hintingIhesetan joan hintzana

The fence is tornHesia urraturik
You freed the songLibratu huen kanta
From all the tiesLotura guztietatik
From the limits of the bodyGorputzaren mugetatik
Wanting to feel freeAske sentitu nahirik

The last breath is hereAzken hatsa huela
The deepest verseBertsorik sakonena
Things that can never be saidInoiz esan ezin diren
The covered wingsEstalitako hegien
The harshest cry, the harshest cryOihurik bortitzena bortitzena

Where am INun hago
