| Iruten ari nuzu, kilua gerrian
| You're spinning, a pound at your waist
|
| Ardura dudalarik nigarra begian
| I'm worried about the tears in my eyes
|
| Nigar egiten duzu oi suspirarekin
| You cry with a sigh
|
| Kontsolaturen zira oi denborarekin
| You will be comforted with time
|
| Ezkon mina dudala zuk omen diozu
| You say I'm in love with marriage
|
| Ez dut amore minik, gezurra diozu
| I'm not in pain, you're lying
|
| Jendek erraiten dute hala ez dena franko
| People say that not everything is frank
|
| Ene maite pollita, zure ta enetako
| My dear chick, yours and mine
|
| Ezkon mina dutenak seinale dirade:
| Those who are in pain are married:
|
| Matel-hezurrak idor, koloriak berde
| Dry matel bones, green in color
|
| Estoy hilando, con la rueca a la cintura
| I'm spinning, with the wheel on my waist
|
| Y a menudo me asaltan las lágrimas a los ojos
| And often tears well up in my eyes
|
| ¡Ay, cómo lloras y suspiras! | Alas, how you cry and sigh! |
| Ya te consolarás con el tiempo
| You will be comforted in time
|
| Dicen que vas diciendo que me muero por casarme;
| They say you're saying I'm dying to get married;
|
| Mientes, yo no tengo mal de amores
| You're lying, I'm not in love
|
| La gente dice de ti y de mí, preciosa mía
| People say goodbye to you and me
|
| Muchas cosas que no son verdad
| Many things that are not true
|
| Los que se mueren por casarse están marcados:
| Those who die by marriage are marked:
|
| Se les quedan chupados los carrillos y la cara verdusca | Their cheeks and greenish faces are sucked |
