Crossing

Hegan

we were a disasterizan ginen desastre bat
an old map without a northiparrik gabeko mapa zahar bat
you in me and me in youzu nigan ta ni zugan

a sketch, a cruel rejectionzirriborro bat, deskarte zikin bat
on the pages of the booklaboaren orrietan
words lost in the mistbehe-lainoan galdutako hitzak
butbaina

crossing, we crossedhegan, egin genuen hegan
from the Cantabrian Sea to the border, crossingkantauri itsasotik ikus mugetara, hegan

we were an empty chaosizan ginen kaos hutsa
twenty-four bulletslaurhogeita hamarreko bi bala
with a wrong pathibilbide gaiztotuaz

a chord, a minor chordakorde bat, akorde minor bat
that no one heardinork entzun ez zuena
an eagle wounded in the airarrano bat zaurituta airean
butbaina

crossing, we crossedhegan, egin genuen hegan
from the Cantabrian Sea to the border, crossingkantauri itsasotik ikus mugetara, hegan

and we placed ourselves at the mercy of the south windta jarri ginen hego-haizearen esanetara
saying the storm was about to beginekaitza hastear zela
saying the storm was about to beginekaitza hastear zela

closing our eyes and a final embracebegiak itxi ta azken besarkada bat
until we fellerori bitartean
until we fellerori bitartean

crossing, we crossedhegan, egin genuen hegan
from the Cantabrian Sea to the border, crossingkantauri itsasotik ikus mugetara, hegan
