Paroles et traduction Negu Gorriak - Hitz Egin

Hitz Egin

Bai, nik ere errezitatzen nuen
Bertolt bercht
Bidegabekeria salatzen nuen ozen
Dudarik ez,
Hitz jarioak zirikatzen
Zituen eta mingaina tutorretik
Ebaki zidaten
Eskuak libre hasi ziren idazten
Kitarra, lagun errebeldea jotzen
Eta berriz nere bila etorri ziren
Besorik gabe, ezgauzatu ninduten

Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.

Laister aldiz,
Behatzekin moldatu nintzen
Alferrik,
Hankondoak aulkian nituen
Baina begiradak salatzen omen
Begiak beleek xehatu zizkidaten
Nire izate hutsak zituen
Ikaratzen
Tiro-hotsa,
Belarriek ozta-ozta aditu zuten.
Norbaitek ahotsa
Altxatuko al luke?
Ordurako ordea
Den-denak mutu genituen

Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.
Hitz egin!

Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Hitz egin!
Adierazpen askatasunarengatik.
Hitz egin!

Speak Up

Yes, I also used to recite
Bertolt Brecht
He would denounce injustice loudly
Undoubtedly,
His words flew out provocative
And his tongue out of his head
They cut me
My hands began to write freely
Playing the guitar, my rebellious friend
And again, they came for me
Armless, they maimed me

Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.
Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.
Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.
Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.

Soon after,
I adapted to my fingers
In vain,
My elbows were on a chair
But they say that looks denounce
My crows pecked my eyes out
My empty being was
Getting angry
Gunshots,
My ears barely heard.
Would someone raise
Their voice?
But by then
We were all mute

Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.
Speak up!
Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.
Speak up!

Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.
Speak up!
Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.
Speak up!
Speak up!
Speak up!
For the freedom of expression.
Speak up!
