Translation of the song lyrics Free Palestine - Esne Beltza

Free Palestine (original)

Palestinako umeei begiak ixten dizkiete ireki bezain laster
Eta urruntasunetik behatzen dugunok ez dugu ikusten ezer
Distantzia ote da urruntzen gaituena?
Edo ohitu egin garela da problema?
Haien mina ulertzen dugu baina ez zaizkigu bihotzean kabitzen
Hildakoak kontatzen ikasi genuenean ahantzi genuen sentitzen
Nablusen
Belenen
Jerusalemen
Zein gaizki
Eta zein ondo gauden
Gu hemen
Zenbat harri ote daude Palestina eta gure arte bidean?
Zenbat bizi ote dira kateaturik hemen, eta zenbat bizi ote dira libre han?
Erantzunak soberan daude
Gertatzen dena kontatzen ikasi genuenean ahantzi genuen gertatutakoaz arduratu
eta kezkatzen!
FREE PALESTINE
ASKE IZAN ARTE

Free Palestine (translation)

They close their eyes to Palestinian children as soon as they open
And those of us who observe from a distance see nothing
Is it distance that takes us away?
Or is it that we're used to it?
We understand their pain but they do not fit in our hearts
We felt forgotten when we learned to count the dead
Nablusen
Bethlehem
Jerusalem
How wrong
And how good we are
We are here
How many stones are on the road to Palestine and our art?
How many live chained here, and how many live free there?
The answers are overwhelming
When we learned to tell what was happening we forgot to worry about what had happened
and worrying!
FREE PALESTINE
UNTIL HE IS FREE
