Ibai Beltza

Title: “Black River”

Verse

Among cold stones

echoes rise

the fire is burning low

our breath on the ceiling

and the night does not forgive

Prechorus

Ah

we are here

Ah

together now

Chorus

The black river comes

down from the mountains

and we sing

in the dark

we sing

in the dark

Our souls are bound with stone

old bells trembling

and the sky is closed

We sing

in the dark

we sing

in the dark

Verse 2

Wet wind on the walls

and the smell of wood

old men’s hands

like blood

and rain on the roof

Prechorus

Ah

we are here

Ah

together now

Chorus

The black river comes

down from the mountains

and we sing

in the dark

we sing

in the dark

Our souls are bound with stone

old bells trembling

and the sky is closed

We sing

in the dark

we sing

in the dark

Title: Ibai Beltza (“Black River”

Verse

Harri hotzen artean

Oihartzunak jaikitzen dira

Sua motel ari da

Gure arnasa sabaian

Eta gauak ez du barkatzen

Prechorus

Ah

Hemen gaude

Ah

Elkarrekin orain

Chorus

Ibai beltza dator

Mendietatik beherantz

Eta kantatzen dugu

Ilunpean

Kantatzen dugu

Ilunpean

Gure arimak harriz lotuta daude

Kanpai zaharrak dardarka

Eta zerua itxita dago

Kantatzen dugu

Ilunpean

Kantatzen dugu

Ilunpean

Verse 2

Haize hezea hormetan

Eta egurra usainetan

Gizon zaharren eskuak

Odolaren antzekoak

Eta euria teilatuan

Prechorus

Ah

Hemen gaude

Ah

Elkarrekin orain

Chorus

Ibai beltza dator

Mendietatik beherantz

Eta kantatzen dugu

Ilunpean

Kantatzen dugu

Ilunpean

Gure arimak harriz lotuta daude

Kanpai zaharrak dardarka

Eta zerua itxita dago

Kantatzen dugu

Ilunpean

Kantatzen dugu

Ilunpean
