Ustegabean sarri etortzen zaizkigu egun tristeak ta minberatzen gaitu sarritan gu ontara iristeak. Baina kantari sentitzen dira Euskal Erriko gazteak. Guretzako re poz aundia du ondoregoak uzteak. All Basques well know our painful place in things. Even to sing we often are taken by fear and shame.
Threats come by the moment, sounds of bullets daily.
The bertso singer's voice wants to bring forth hope. We would want to work as we always have. If it is in our power to bring a touch of humor to this land. The bertsolaritza can serve to bring new life to Euskera. A bertsolaria who can sing is for many an amazing thing.
