(Lete, "eskeintza", 1992)

Ez dezagun esan, maite gu ez ginela horrelakoak, muduak ginduela hondatu. Gu ere mundua ginen, materia ilun berberaz eginak, ez ginen besteek uste bezain makurrak ez guk nahi bezain zuzenak. Gugan zegoen argia itzali baldin bazen ez inori errukik bota ez kulparik egotzi, argitik ilunerako urratsa mila bider eman bai genuen hainbestetan orbandu elkarrekiko leialtasun lehena. Orain badakigu nun gauden eta zer geran eta zer itxoin genezakeen egunsenti batetatik.

Don't say, my love that we weren't like that, that the world changed us, for we too were part of that world made from the same dark matter, we weren't as imperfect as some thought we were, or as perfect as we would have liked. If the light that was in us was extinguished don't blame anyone, don't look for anybody to blame, for the line between the light and the darkness we crossed it a thousand times so many times we mangled our original loyalty to each other. Now we know where we are and what we are and what we can expect from each new day.
