Ilargi Betea
Piperrak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
gure herriko kaleetatik
arraro xamar dago giroa
jendeak nahi du martxa
zerbait gorpotzera bota, gaua has dadila
tabernaz taberna jendea mugitzen hasi da
geldirik egon ezin, garagardoa irentsiaz,
komunetik jendea sartzen eta ireten
arriskua ilargi betea!
ondoko herrian jaialdi jator bat dago
kolegak eta kotxea, gehiagorik ez duzu behar
jendeak nahi du martxa, zeuk are nahi badazu?
orduan jo ta sua
taldea hasi da jotzen bere akordeak
eta guk saltoka, katxia pasa, erre ta edan
noizean behin bidai berri bat komunera
igandea hasi da eta ni etxera ezin joan
hurrengo larunbatan ez da egongo ilargi betea
baina nau ta kolegak, ipurdiano jarriko gara
