Paroles et traduction Berri Txarrak - Zauri irekietako herria

Zauri irekietako herria

Metafora bidez
Idatzi nahiko nuke
Zauri irekietako
Herri honen oinazea,
Baina hortarako
Poeta jaio behar
Eta gutxi omen dira
Lumadun ederzaleak

Astero bezala
Buzoian bilatzen du
Espainian preso daukaten
Semearen eskutitza
Baina horren ordez
Dei hotz bat jasotzen du
Soka lepoan duela
Semearenak egin du

...eta esango dute
Betikoak garela,
Eta omenaldian
Jende gutxi geundela
Ta bertan egotea
Apologia dela,
Kameraz fitxatu gaituzte

...eta esango dute
Betikoak garela
Eta demokrazian
Gu soberan gaudela
Ustezko heriotza
Naturala izan dela
Eta dena "ongi" dihoa

Zein zaila den barkatzea
Herri batek sufritzean,
Arrano Beltza sekula baino
Beltzagoa dago orain

Zein zaila den barkatzea
Herri batek sufritzean,
Arrano Beltza sekula baino
Beltzagoa dago orain

Grieving people

Metaphorically
I would like to write
The open wounds
Of this people's mourning,
But to do so
One must be born a poet
And feathered flatterers
Are few and far between

As every week
She looks in the mailbox
For a letter from her son
That is imprisoned in Spain
But instead of that
She receives a cold call
With a noose around his neck
Her son is gone

...and they will say
That we are as we ever were,
And at the tribute
That there were but few people
And that being there
Is apologetics,
They have us on camera

...and they will say
That we are as we ever were
And that in a democracy
We are superfluous
The supposed death
Was natural
And everything "is going well"

How hard it is to forgive
When a people is suffering,
The Black Eagle is more
Black than ever

How hard it is to forgive
When a people is suffering,
The Black Eagle is more
Black than ever
