Basque lyrics
|
(translation from Basque)
|
Euskara giza
ondarea da:
komunikazio eta batasunerako tresna.
Elkar ulertu eta giza helburu gorenera
heltzeko beharrezko baliabidea.
|
The Basque
language is part of the human heritage: a
tool for communication and unity.
A necessary resource to understand each
other and achieve the highest human ideal.
|
Hizkuntzak
leuntzen du animalia eta
gizon bilakatzen.
Berak bideratzen elkar laguntza giza
mailan gauzatzeko.
Zentzu horretan hedatzen da herri
bakoitzaren beharretara.
|
Language
perfects the animal and
turns it into a human being.
It channels mutual aid for it to be realised
in the human level.
In this sense it reaches out
to the needs of each and every people.
|
Hizkuntza
ispilu leiala da,
non kondairan zehar, herri baten
baldintza sozialak isladatzen diren.
|
Language is a
faithful mirror,
in which a people's social conditions
are reflected throughout history.
|
Hizkuntzak
jakinarazten dio belaunaldi bakoitzari
oinarrizko kultura guztia.
|
In each
generation language teaches
all the basic culture.
|
Bere
hizkuntzarekin hautsi duen herriak tradizioa
du errausten eta arima epeltzen.
|
A people that
breaks away from its language is a people
that destroys its tradition and freezes its
soul.
|
Hizkuntzak
bere baitan, herri baten
mundua ulertzeko era gordetzen du,
herritarrek hitzegiten dutenean.
|
Language has
in itself the way to understand
the outlook of a people,
when its speakers speak it.
|
Euskara, gure
hizkuntza, giza ondarea da.
|
Basque, our
language, is part of the human heritage.
