Paroles et traduction Negu Gorriak - Lehenbiziko Bala

Lehenbiziko Bala

Baserrian jaio nintzen
Arbaso zaharren etxean.
Udaberria aurrean.
Negu gorria atzean.
Eten da nire haria
Pasa dena pasatzean.
Hilotza dago larrean
Bizitzarekin jolasean
Hilotza dago larrean
Bizitzarekin jolasean

Lehenbiziko bala

Baserriko lanetan
Zebilen alaba
Ta patuak jo zion
Bihotzaren aldaba.
Bere bide beretik
Erori zen ama
Aita ezin jasanez
Bizitzaren zama
Bere burua urkatuz
Joan zen besteengana

Lehenbiziko bala

Itxaurrondoan dagoen
Belearen kanta
Bere mokoan behera
Doan odol tanta.
Osabak esan zizkidan
Hitzen zalaparta:
Gogoratzen al zara
Nola hil zen aita
Bere era berean
Hilko zara baita.

Lehenbiziko bala

Maldizio beltz hori
Gainean dudala
Baserritik banoa
Inondik inora
Bizitzaren bideak
Itxi zaizkit ala?
Dena begi zorrotzez
Ikusten dudala,
Karabinan sartzen det
Lehenbiziko bala.

The First Bullet

I was born on the farm,
In the house of ancient ancestors.
Spring before me,
Red winter behind.
My thread is broken
As the past becomes the past.
A corpse lies in the field,
Playing with life.
A corpse lies in the field,
Playing with life.

The first bullet

Working on the farm,
The daughter was there,
And fate knocked
On the door of her heart.
On her own path,
The mother fell,
The father unable to bear
The burden of life,
Hanging himself,
Joined the others.

The first bullet

In Itxaurrondo, the
Raven's song,
In its beak down
Flows a drop of blood.
My uncle told me
The commotion of words:
"Do you remember
How father died?
In the same way,
You will also die."

The first bullet

This black curse
Upon me,
I leave the farm
To nowhere.
The paths of life
Are they closed to me?
With a keen eye,
I see everything,
I load into the carbine
The first bullet.
