Aurkibidea
Hitzez hitz transkribaturiko amets bat
Ez zaldiaren galopa basak
ez zalditik jaitsitako oinkariek
eraman ahal izan zuten neska basoan barrena berari sinetsarazteko
mutila zinez hila zela
Oi hozka egiozu belarri-gingilean, esan zuten,
Eta giltza eman haren biziari.
Han zamalkaldi hosto-berdearen akaberan
urkatu egin zuten gorosti goretsi batean
Eta neskak negar egin zuen harik eta malkoek harriak
erorarazi arte nire mendi-mazelan behera itzul-amilka.
A Dream Which I Inscribed Verbatim
Not the horse run wild / nor the men on their feet dismounted / could lead her through the wood to believe / that he had truly died. // O bite the lobe of his ear, they said / And draw the bolt of his life. // There at the end of the green leafed ride / they hanged him on a holly holly tree / And she wept ’til her tears rolled stones / down my mountain side.
