Pont Noblia about the river Nive in Bidarray, Pyrenées Atlantiques (France)

Urtzi, zeruko argia, ekaitza sortzen duena
Arbasoen babeslea, une honetako ahaztua
Non zaude? Non gaude? Ahaztu egin gaituzte
Denborak dena irentsi du eta zimeldu gaitu
Bere atzaparretan atzemanak gaude, gure sustraiak non daude?

Urtzi, heavenly light, the creator of storms
The protector of our forebears, now forgotten
Where are you? Where are we? We’ve been forgotten
Time has devoured everything and withered us away
We’re trapped in its claws; where are our roots?
