Paroles et traduction Mikel Urdangarin - Gaur Gurutzatu Gara

Gaur Gurutzatu Gara

Gaur gurutzatu gara
Sarritan antzera
Zu bertan jezarrita
Ni kalean behera
Zure itxura ez da
Betiko berbera
Begion tristezia
Ohikoa ete da
Gaur ondora natortzu
Lagun egitera.

Esku hartu dautzut
Egunon amama
Zelan dabil gaurkoan
Gure auzoko dama
Aurpegi zimurtua
Present iragana
Berbarik ez, keinu bat
Zuzendu nigana
Irribarre honegaz
Esan dozu dana.

Ez al daukazu seme
Inorako asmorik?
Lagunengana noa
Ez dago presarik
Zeuk be bazenduala
Dantza kuadrilarik
Ta urteak doazela
Konturatu barik
Zoaz gazte ez galdu
Nigaz denborarik.

Atzo larogeitabost,
Soinean jantzia
Zeinek esango leuke
Hain maja ikusita
Lobak ein eutzuela
Egunez bisita
Baina gaur bizitzagaz
Eukiela zita
Beitu amama zelango
Oskarbi polita.

Denboraren jagole
Ta haren menpeko
Poztasunik balego
Zeugaz banatzeko
Musu bat emon dautzut
Irri bat hartzeko
Biharko lotu gara
Kartetan eiteko
Irabazita ondo
Galduta hobeto.

Today We Crossed Paths

Today we crossed paths
Like we often do
You confined there
Me walking in the street
Your appearance is not
As usual
Sadness in your eyes
Has it become common?
Today I come to your side
To befriend you.

I take your hands
Good morning, Grandmother
How are you doing today
Lady of our neighborhood
Your face is wrinkled
Present and past
No words, just a gesture
Directed at me
With this smile,
You said it all.

Don't you have a son
With any intentions?
I'm going to my friends
There's no hurry
You were once young too
With your square dances
And as the years go by
You don't even notice
Go, young man, don't waste
Your time with me.

Yesterday, ninety-five,
Dressed in your outfit
Who would have said
Seeing you so lovely
That you were eating turnips
Getting visits during the day
But today with life
You have an appointment
Look, Grandmother, how
Beautiful you are.

Guardian of time
And subject to its rule
If there were any joy
To share with you
I would give you a kiss
To make you smile
We'll meet again tomorrow
To play cards
If we win, good
If we lose, even better.
