Lyrics and translation SKABIDEAN - Zuretzako Omena

Zuretzako Omena

Azaleko zimurrak
Eta esku urratuak,
Txikituriko hezurrak
Eta bizkar okertuak,

Dira ahaleginen dominak,
Eta gainditurik samina
Inoiz baino ozenago
Barrez ari zara gogoz.

Zuri nire eskerrik onenak!
Hau da zuretzako omena!

Mintzaera mantsotu
Eta indarrak urritu,
Baina zure arimak
Bizirik du jarraitu.
Zuhurtasunaren tenplu,
Ezagutzen gotorleku,
Poza, tristura, oinaze
Dituzu barnean biltzen.

Zuri nire eskerrik onenak!
Hau da zuretzako omena!

Mendi, etxe edo soro
Lan gogorren lekuko.
Eman zenuen oro
Ez dugu atzenduko.
Nahiz eta urteak pasa
Egonen da memorian,
Eta bizi naizen artean
Zin dagizut maitasuna.

Zuri nire eskerrik onenak!
Hau da zuretzako omena!
Zugan daukat nire eredua!
Hau da zuretzako mezua!

A Song for You

Wrinkles on your face
And tired hands,
Weakened bones
And humped backs,

Are medals of your efforts
And having conquered pain
Louder than ever
You laugh with joy.

My gratitude to you!
This is my song for you!

Your slowed speech
And weakened strength,
But your soul
Still lives on.
A temple of wisdom,
A fortress of knowledge,
Joy, sadness, boredom
You keep inside you.

My gratitude to you!
This is my song for you!

Mountain, house or field
Witness to hard work.
All that you gave
We will not forget.
Although the years pass
It will remain in my memory,
And while I live
I swear my love.

My gratitude to you!
This is my song for you!
In you I have my role model!
This is my message for you!
