Lyrics for Txoria Txori
Hegoak ebaki banizkio,
nerea izango zen,
ez zuen aldegingo.
Bainan, honela,
ez zen gehiago txoria izango,
eta nik,
txoria nuen maite...
Read it in English
If I had cut the wings to her,
She would have been mine,
She would not be flees,
But, thus,
She would not be a bird anymore,
And me,
It's the bird which I loved...
