Lyrics and translation Ekon - Eraiki

Eraiki

Herri batek, inolaz ere ezin dezake arnasik hartu
Bere semeak, loturik badaude
Ahots batek, inolaz ere ezin dezake mezua hedatu
Bere ezpaina josten badu, ez du ezer lortuko
Bidean da itoko, ez du inork sentituko
Ta biztanle guztiok, geldotasunean lo
Baina indar alai batek, iratzartu gintuen
Eta herriaren bidez, tinko ohiukatu zuen
Kolpatu ditzagun entzun nahi ez duten belarri gor horiek
Soilik azpitik daudenean errespetatzen duten hoiek
Guztiek!
Bihotz handiko herri txikiari beldurra omen diote
Gehiegi bait dugu galtzeke eta baita irabazteke
Zergaitik horrenbeste traba ta lege ustel
Ahotsak eta ekimenak itotzeko
Zuk eta nik indarrak batuz, aurre eginez
Geurea, geurera lortuko dugu
Geurera egiten, egiten, gure geroa aukeratzen
Geure herria eraikitzen
Bazterketarik gabeko elkartasunean kabia egiten
Ekin dezagun guztiok geurea aukeratzen ta adierazten guztiok!
Soilik ametsen aurrean makurtzen diren bihotz basatiek
Etorkizunaren kolorez jantzirik aurrera egiten dute
Zergaitik ...
Izan libre zeurea ohiukatzen
Orainarte egindako denak zerbaiten atarian utzi gaitu
Ez gera damutzen
Eta nere begiek irrifartsu diote bidean gaudela, eta pozten naizela nere jendea ikustean berriro zirikatzen
Egiten, gure herria eraikitzen
Nor naizen, ozen esateko
Izan libre zeurea ohiukatzen

Build

A people cannot breathe, no, no
When its sons are bound
A voice cannot carry, no, no
When its lips are sewn
And in silence he will choke, and no one will know
And a people stood, oh oh, still as stone
But a force came along, oh oh, stirred us all
And through the people, oh oh, a mighty voice called
Let's strike the deaf ears, that refuse to hear
Those who only respect, when you're down on your knees
All
They fear a small town with a big heart
'Cause we got too much to lose and so much to gain
What's with all these obstacles and all these crooked laws
Trying to silence voices and stomp on our cause
But you and me together, we'll stand as one
And we'll get what's ours, we'll claim what we've won
Doing it, doing it, doing it our way, choosing our way
Building our nation
Nurturing unity without segregation
Let's all choose and speak our minds, our intention
Only savage hearts will bow to dreams
They're marching ahead, dressed in future's stream
What's with...
You can shout whatever you desire
All that we've done so far, has brought us to the brink
Don't you ever, ever blink
And my eyes, they smile 'cause we're on our way, and my soul rejoices seeing my people rise again to say
Doing it, building our nation
Stating who I am, loud and proud
You can shout whatever you desire
