Bertso berriak jartzera noa euskara garbi batian hitz politen bila ez etorri hortaz gelditu atian barruak lasaituko ditut eztarriaren kaltian nire kantuak idurituko du zakurren zaunka katian Uztaila hontan beteko ditut nik nahi baino urte geiho ilea galtzearren nik ez dut ematen gizon serio ene hitz garbienak ere ez du inon ezer ez balio nire buruari sekulan ez dio inork jarriko prezio Gau ixil hontan ikusten zaitut iparraldeko izarra hamabost urteko neska baten ametsa bezain ederra urruti zaude mundu hontatik librea eta bakarra inoren menpe kantatzen duzu ta zure boza da zilarra Eguzkiaren hautsak oritzen duenean egun berria pozten zara gaztain iluna/ zabaltzen duzu orria ez zara makina beltz baten pioi zerbitzaria kalean arrastaka dabilen nire antzeko piztia.

I am going to sing some new verses in beautiful Basque. Don't come looking for beautiful words though. If you do, please stay outside the door. I'm going to let out what I carry inside no matter what it might do to my throat. My song will seem like the barking of a chained dog. This July I will be older than I'd like, having lost my heair I don't look like a serious man my clearest words aren't worth very much either. Nobody will ever put a price on my head. On this quiet night I see you oh northern star, as beautiful as the dream of a fifteen year old girl free and alone, you sing independently of anyone your voice is pure silver. When the sun's powerd turns yellow the new day you rejoice, dark chesnut, you spread your foliage, you are not the servile peon of a black machine, like a wild animal like me crawling on the streets.
