6 Basque Songs

Song Cycle by Jesus Guridi Bidaola (1886 - 1961)

1. Goiko Mendiyan
 (Sung text)

Language: Basque (Euskara) 
Goiko mendijan edurra dago,
Errekaldian ixotza.
Neu zeugandik libre1 nago ta
Pozik daukat bijotza.

Ene Aberri polit-edera
Zeu lako bat nun dago ba.
Zeugaz beti bizi gura dot
Eldu arte erijotza.
