Betagarri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
borroka esna liteke
inork ez gaitu itxoiten
inongo helmugan tente.
Bidea ez bada asmatu
ez badakigu zein den
has gaitezen ibiltzen
gure indarrak eskaintzen.
Ez gara inora heldu
ez gara inondik irten
eta ez gara inora helduko
bidea ez bada egiten.
Pausu bat, ondoren hurrena
garaipen bat eta gero bestea
geroa aukeratzerik bada
borrokatu dezagun gurea.
Denok gara herri onen bidea
borroka da bakearen jabea
denok gara borrokaren bidean
bakea da borrokaren xedea.
Ez entzun eta ez hitz egin
norbaiten gura bada
izan bedi gurea
herri honen taupada.
The song "Bidea Gara" by Betagarri presents a strong message about perseverance, struggle and the never-ending fight for peace. The first verse speaks about not giving up, even if the path may be difficult, as through struggle, we can obtain strength. It emphasizes the importance of not letting anyone bring us down, or obstruct us from reaching our goals. The second verse implies that no matter how far we've come, we cannot stop moving forward, and we must continue fighting regardless of the obstacles. The idea behind this is that the path to peace is never-ending, and it requires constant effort and dedication.
The following verse speaks about the process of making choices and the importance of taking responsibility for them. We all have a choice in life, and each decision can lead to either victory or defeat. The song then states that we all have a role to play in achieving peace, and that the fight for peace is the responsibility of every person. Finally, the song ends with a call to action: to listen and to speak up, and to come together as a community in order to fight for a common goal - peace.

Eguna ez bada amaitu

Nobody can silence us
inongo helmugan tente.

Bidea ez bada asmatu
If the path is not found

Ez gara inora heldu
