Beti da Garaiz

Always Late

Beti da Garaiz

April tenApirilak hamar
This letter is the last oneEskutitz hau azkena da

In the Berlingo neighborhoodBerlingo auzo gorrian
There's no chimneyEztago sutondorik
No motherEz amatxorik

I'll be back in winterNeguan itzuliko naiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
One cigarette and gin oftenZigarro bat eta ginebra maiz
On that dayEgun horren zai
On that dayEgun horren zai

In silenceIxiltasunean
A black ball rollsDardarka boli beltza

This white sheet of the mattressLarruzko diban txuri hau
Has turned into a bedOhe bilakatu da
At seven in the morningGoizeko seietan

I'll be back in winterNeguan itzuliko naiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
One cigarette and gin oftenZigarro bat eta ginebra maiz
On that dayEgun horren zai
On that dayEgun horren zai

I'll be back in winterNeguan itzuliko naiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
One cigarette and gin oftenZigarro bat eta ginebra maiz
On that dayEgun horren zai
On that dayEgun horren zai

And if I forget? If I forget the way?Eta ahaztu badut? Bidea ahaztu badut?
If I lose? Lose all strength?Galdu badut? Indar dena galdu?

The other side of the wallParetaren bestaldeko ohiua
Is it pleasure or pain?Plazerra da edo mina?

Do I have you in my arms or am I still?Besotan zaitut ala oraindik naiz
In dreams? In dreams?Ametsetan? Ametsetan?

I'll be back in winterNeguan itzuliko naiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
One cigarette and gin oftenZigarro bat eta ginebra maiz
On that dayEgun horren zai
On that dayEgun horren zai

I'll be back in winterNeguan itzuliko naiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
Always lateBeti da garaiz
One cigarette and gin oftenZigarro bat eta ginebra maiz
On that dayEgun horren zai
On that dayEgun horren zai
