Euskadin, Castillan bezala
Herrikoiak
In Euskadi, like in Castile
My great-grandfather Segura
when he needed bread
would go to Castile
for day labor,
to the mines.
His workshop was said to be rich
yes, indeed...
He had ten children at home
yes!, indeed!
When the day laborers from Castile
want bread
they come to Goierri
for day labor,
to the factories.
The outsiders are said to be greedy in the square
yes, indeed...
If they have eleven children at home
yes!, indeed!
About the Castilian lords and the Goierri chimneys
if my great-grandfather and the Castilian
were the owners,
their children's footsteps
would not see more escape!
not in Castile, not in Euskadi.
