Txoria txori

This is a beautiful popular Basque song written by Mikel Laboa. I do apologize for my (surely) terrible Basque pronunciation. I simply love this song. Here are the Basque lyrics and an English translation that I found on the web.

TXORIA TXORI
(Mikel Laboa and Joxan Atze)

Hegoak ebaki banizkion
Nerea izango zen
Ez zuen aldegingo

Bainan honela
Ez zen gehiago txoria izango
Eta nik txoria nuen maite
Eta nik txoria nuen maite

THE BIRD WHO WAS A BIRD

If I had cut his wings
He would have been mine
He would not have flown away
But, he would have been a bird no longer
And he was the bird that I loved

Somehow I missed this one until tonight. Very beautiful. And one of my favorites. As someone we know would say, "Splendid!"
