GABEKO KALAPITXIXAK
(amatxuera biko poemi)

Eskuak moztu nituen hegorik ez nuelako
Eta gau batean lurretik aldendu nintzen hegan
Argirantz, argirantz esaten zidan senak
Argirantz kiskaldu arte.

Gaur orratzak dzast egin dit bihotzean
( gaur orratzez dzast egin didazu bihotzean)
Zure paretean nago iltzatuta
Hautsa batzen.

Josu Aranbarri Aramaio











BUTTERFLIES AT NIGHT
(poem with two endings)

I cut off my hands because I had no wings
And one night I flew away from the earth
Toward the light, toward the light my instinct told me
Toward the light though you burn up
‘till you’ve burnt up

Today the needle punctured my heart
(today your needle punctured my heart)
I’m nailed to your pallet
Collecting this dust.

Translated by Elizabeth Macklin.
