Paroles et traduction Gatibu - Gelditu Zaitez

Gelditu Zaitez

Bizitzaren harixekaz lotu dozuz
Zabaldu ziren zauri handi eta txikixek
Apurke-apurke zarratzen joan dire
Puntuz-puntu josi zenduzen guztixek
Hari askogaz lotutako arimie,
Mile zatigaz egindako trajie, dekozu...
Bizitzaren zaurixek egin zaitue zarena
Eta goiz parte honetan Tuterako banku baten jarritte
Zeru zati bet lau teilatu artien nau ikusten
Zoragarrixe ordu honetan egunsentixe.
Hain bizixek koloriek eta hain ilunak zure begixek
Nire parte bat egin zara eta xuxurlatzen,
Ahots batek nire burueri esaten deutso:
Gelditu zaitez Erriberan.
Eguzkixek jotakoa zeru argi, gau gorrixen jabe
Mendixek urrun gelditzen jatsuz urrun kresala
Gaueko haixien gogorra zure bizixe,
Ez da besterik gelditzen harrizko kalietan gerra zaharren usaine.
Basamortuko haixiek isildutako ahotsak dakartz
Ehortzitako arimek sustrai berrietan diraute
Kimu gaztiek laster ikusiko dozuz loratzen
Ibai ertzean ortzadarra lainoen artien.
Hain bizixek koloriek eta hain ilunak zure begixek
Nire parte bat egin zara eta xuxurlatzen,
Ahots batek nire burueri esaten deutso:
Gelditu zaitez Erriberan.

Stop Yourself

With the threads of life you have bound me
The gaping wounds both large and small now
Closing piece by piece
Stitched together with each passing stitch
To souls connected by many threads,
From a thousand pieces you've made this tapestry, now unravel it...
The wounds of life have made you who you are
And this morning you're sitting on a bench in Tudela
A piece of sky framed by four sloping roofs
In this splendid hour of sunrise.
Colors so vivid, eyes so dark
You have become a part of me and whisper,
A voice speaks to my mind and says:
Stop yourself in Erribera.
A bright sky kissed by the sun, master of crimson nights
Mountains fading in the distance, flame crackling afar
The harsh reality of night winds your existence,
Nothing but the scent of ancient wars lingers in these rocky streets.
The winds of the desert carry the voices of the silenced
In the roots of buried souls, new life endures
Soon you will see young shoots blooming
Under the willows by the river, among the clouds.
Colors so vivid, eyes so dark
You have become a part of me and whisper,
A voice speaks to my mind and says:
Stop yourself in Erribera.
