Ala da bai, maite duzun hura urrun egon ohi da gehienetan tamalez, ta itxaropena besterik etzaigu geratzen.
Abesti polita, ta muntaia obea.
Agur bero bat.

You're right. I was confused because of the closeness between "jauntxo" (master, lord) and "Jainko" (The Lord, God). (And also because nuns used to be called "The Lord's brides").

The song is about a Basque sailor who leaves for Ireland because the girl he wanted to marry is forced by her father to become a nun. The beautiful melody is apparently of Celtic origin, you can hear it in the original film 'The Wicker Man' (shot in the seventies) when there is a pagan procession. An English transcription of "maite zaitut" would look like "my teh sigh t'you-t". Morphologically, it is [love (verb)] [two-argument auxiliary: you-object / I-subject / present tense].
Hi Euskaran! How do you say "I love you" in your ancient language? I really admire such a small nation to have endured till today s time and to have kept the beautiful and unique language. Btw. the song is charming, even though I suppose it to be sung about an Irish girl...:o) Greetings from Czechia
