Edurne [English translation]

Like the wind, the rain and the thunder

She was born in the open

In the shade of a walnut tree

Her cradle was made with ferns

The moonlight sheltered her

And the sea rocked her from the distance

Sing Edurne, sing Edurne

This is your land

She grew up watching Tolosa at her feet

As tough and beautiful at the same time

As the trunk of a birch tree

Her red woolen doublet

Broke the morning in two

When her blue window opened

Sing Edurne, sing Edurne

Love has called you

Your love enjoyed you for short time

He was taken away, tied

By metal men

His 20 years, broken against a thorn

Were found behind his house

By the track of Amasa

Sing Edurne, sing Edurne

They might have buried him

Since then, even when the cold bites

She leaves the gates of the farm

Wide open

In case that fear does not eat warm

To shelter people

who cannot see their sky and their sea

Sing Edurne, sing Edurne

You have a big heart

Run, wind, go and tell the story

Along the shores of river Oria

And tell the people that

Where their children eat and sleep

They have food and shelter

At Edurne’s house

Sing Edurne, sing Edurne

The Basque People sings with you
