Ixil ixilik dago, kaia bazterrian untzi xuri pollit bat uraren gainean. Goizek'ordu bietan esnatutzen gira arrantzaliarekin joaitek' urrutira. Pasatzen nintzanean zure leiho petik nigar'heldu zitzautan begi bietatik: Zergatik, zergatik, zergatik nigar egin? Zeruan izarra dago itsaso aldetik. Bat, bat, bat, bazter ondoan ibili. Bi, bi, bi, ez naiz ondo ibili. Hiru, hiru, hiru, golkoa bete diru. Lau, lau, lau, xardin ta bakalau. Anteru txamarrotia, txingarren bigotia, aretxek derauka, derauka preso tximinoia.

It's very quiet next to the pier, a pretty white boat is floating on the water. At two in the morning we wake up to go far away on the fishing boats. When I went by your window tears came to both eyes: Why, why, why cry? There is a star in the sky on the side of the ocean.
