Lyrics in Basque (Euskera):

Erreka baten bazterrean
kitar hotsa haizean hedatuz;
suaren argitasunpean itzal gera,
gurekin ez daudenen antzera.
Denbora luze doan heinean
ederra dena leun ahitzen da
heriotza baino txiki txikiagoa den
bizitzarekin dantzatu.
Etorkizuna da lekuko
itzaletan sinestu;
mendira igo eta ikusi
lagunekin ederragoa den mundua

Translation into Spanish:

En la orilla de un río
expandiendo en el viento el sonido de la guitarra
bajo la luz del fuego somos sombra,
como los que no están con nosotros.
A medida que el tiempo avanza
lo que es hermoso lentamente se evapora
bailando con la vida,
que es mucho más pequeña que la muerte
El futuro es testigo
cree en las sombras;
sube al monte y mira el mundo
que con los amigos es aun mas hermoso

Translation into English:

On the bank of a river
expanding in the wind the sound of a guitar
in the light of fire we are shadow,
like those who are not with us.
As time goes by
what is beautiful slowly disappears
dancing with life
which is way smaller than death.
The future is a witness
believe in the shadows;
climb to the top of the mountain and look at the world
which is even more beautiful with friends.
