Ez zaiut behar nere bizitzan
Ez zaiut gehiago maite
Zu gabe libre sentizen naiz
Zu gabe orain ni naiz
Sua izotza

Bat edo bestea
Barrea zotiña
Zuganako griña
Urrundu da jada nigadik

The lyrics of Skalariak's "Hartu" are about taking control of one's own life and being free to make choices without the influence of others. The song starts with the repetition of "Hartu," which means "Take" in Basque, emphasizing the idea of taking action and seizing opportunities. The phrase "Indar ematen dizuna" translates to "what gives you strength," and it's a nod to the power that comes with making one's own decisions.
The lyrics go on to say that the singer doesn't need anyone else in their life to feel free; that they are already free without anyone else's help. They express that they feel like fire ("Sua") or ice ("Izotza"), two contrasting elements that can both be powerful in their own way. The singer references a separation from someone or something that they used to hold dear ("Urrundu da jada nigadik"), but they have moved on and are taking control of their life on their own terms.
The song culminates in a call to action, with the repeated phrase "Hartu" urging the listener to take control and be free. Overall, the lyrics of "Hartu" are empowering and encourage people to make their own choices and be their own person.
