Bridge over the Olhadobi creek near Larrau, Pyrénées Atlantiques (France)


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?
Amari, I’m calling to you out loud.
Give the people strength
Urtzi, son of Amari
You came to me.
