Deserriko Kontradantza

Ilargi beteko gau baten
Isil-isilik gindoazen
Mendizerran barrena
Lagun nuela maitea

Ilargia betea bazen
Beteago zen gure pena
Ilargi beteko gau batez
Mendizerran barrena

Barkatu dezatela gerrak
Dena odoltzen duen gerrak
Muga zeharkatu baino lehen
Ilargi beteko gau baten
Makurtu nintzen lurra bera
Atsekabez musukatzera
Barkatu nazala gerrak

Ene sorterrian utzi nuen
Bizi erdia lokartua
Beste erdia hartu nuen
Ez jausteko abaildua

Orain Frantziako lurretan
Bihar agian urrunago
Ni ez naiz herriminez hilko
Herriminez bizi iraun baino

Ene sorlekuko lurretan
Hiru muino mendizerran
Ta lau pinu baso itxi bat
Bost lur sail lur gehiegizkoa
Oi ene herriko lurretan
Oh Valles!
Ene sorlekua!

Itxaropen bat birrindua
Oroimina infinitua
Ta herri bat hain txikia ezen
Amets bakarrean sartzen den
Ilargi beteko gau baten

Itxaropen bat birrindua
Oroimina infinitua
Ta herri bat hain txikia ezen
Amets bakarrean sartzen den
Ilargi beteko gau baten.

Contradance of My Country

On a full moon night
Quietly we walked
Through the mountains
With my beloved companion

The moon was full
Our pain was fuller
On a full moon night
Through the mountains

May the war forgive us
The war that sheds blood everywhere
Before crossing the border
On a full moon night
I bowed down to the land itself
To kiss it for the last time
May the war forgive me

In the land of my birth I left behind
Half of my life asleep
The other half I took with me
To avoid falling

Now on French soil
Tomorrow perhaps further away
I will not die of nostalgia
Rather than live by nostalgia

In the land of my birthplace
Three hills in the mountains
And a dense pine forest
Five plots of land, too much land
Oh, in the land of my hometown
Oh Valles!
My birthplace!

A flickering hope
An infinite memory
And a people so small that they
Fit into a single dream
On a full moon night

A flickering hope
An infinite memory
And a people so small that they
Fit into a single dream
On a full moon night.
