Albo​-​kalteak

lyrics

(English translation below)


Erderaz idatziak izan dira
gure ideien autopsia denak
elefanteen amnesia guztia
ortografia garbizaleetan

Nekea begietan
1D-n ikusteko antiojuak jantzita
eta haiek eustea
beste egitekorik ez euren belarriak

Hauek dira, izan, hauek dira finean… albo-kalteak

Kamerez josita daude kaleak
halakorik ez galdeketetan
ikararen koordenada berriak
Europa zaharreko estoldetan

Emaitza sinesgaitzak
silogismoen olgeta ilunak
orrialde erauziak
zuzenbide liburukote astunetan

Hauek dira, izan, hauek dira, nola esan
gu izatearen albo-kalteak
ez izatearen ajeak

Gutxiespenaren dialektikari: eppur si muove
komeni den legediari: si muove
norbait izateko hurkoa beti zapaldu behar duenari
akordeotatik doazkio bi hitz:
eppur si muove

Hauek dira, izan, hauek dira, nola esan
gu izatearen albo-kalteak
ez izatearen ajeak

---------------------------------
(English translation)


ALBO-KALTEAK / COLLATERAL DAMAGE

All the autopsies of our ideas
Have been written in other languages
All that elephant amnesia
And the ortodox spelling.

Weary eyes
From too much wearing 1-D glasses
The ears´ only use is to support them.

These are, to sum up… collateral damages.

Streets are filled with cameras,
But not so the dungeons for interrogation
New coordinates of fear
In the gutters of old Europe.

The obscure game of sillogisms
And their incredible results
Pages torn from the heavy books of law

These are, how to say it,
The collateral damages of being ourselves
The consequences of not being.

To all that dialectic of contempt: eppur si muove
To that taylor-made law: si muove
To anyone who has to step on his kin to become someone
Hear these word from the chords:
eppur si muove
