Kantari euskalduna (Gitarra Zahartxo bat da)

Old guitar
a friend for me,
this is how
a Basque artist walks; (repeat)

One day poor,
another rich,
singing I spend
always the day.

Although it's Italy,
also France,
in both I have found
many malice. (repeat)

If I see
the whole world
I will always love
the Basque Country.

If the Lord gives me
health
I will still be
a good husband. (repeat)

Here is a French
interested,
but I prefer
an empty Basque.

Goodbye, Basque Country,
but not forever;
in five or six years
I will not see. (repeat)

I ask the Lord
for grace
to leave life
in my beloved land. (repeat)
