Oturuntza

 

Mahatsondo orotan nuen edan

      Azkena, lehenaren lain

Ardo bikainik ez zen izan

      Egarria bezain.

 

Sustrai oro nuen hozkatu

      Dastatu landare oro

Fruitu bikainik ezin bilatu

      Irrikaren besteko.

 

Utzi bihi eta mahats

      Haien tratularientzat

Ni etzango naiz, mehats

      Ene gose-egarriez bat.

 

Feast

I drank at every vine. / The last was like the first. / I came upon no wine / So wonderful as thirst. // I gnawed at every root. / I ate of every plant. / I came upon no fruit / So wonderful as want. // Feed the grape and bean / To the vintner and monger; / I will lie down lean / With my thirst and my hunger.
