  • This is by far the best version of the song that I have heard. I have it on my ipod now! PLEASE record a version where the top end doesnt fuzz.....you are a great vocalist!

  • nice one, hope I will visit your country once more, there's no such good cider in the world as in Basq ;)

  • Beautiful, lovely voice :D

  • @txeriffo sorry, it is 'gehiago', not 'geihago' :)

    Other basque folk musitians... Benito Lertxundi, Oskorri, Urko, Imanol, Kepa Junkera... 

  • @rodolfodmq here's my translation, sorry, my english is not perfect:

    Hegoak ebaki banizkio -> If I cut its wings

    neria izango zen -> It would be mine

    ez zuen alde egingo -> it wouldn't escape

    baina honelan -> but then

    ez zen geihago txoria izango -> it wouldn´t be a bird

    eta ni txoria nuen maite -> and I loved the bird
