Houra eni beçala;
Eta guero erran izoc
Nic igorten haidala."
A graceful English version of the above is in existence, and will fitly complement its original:
"Borne on thy wings amidst the air,
Sweet bird, where wilt thou go?
For if thou wouldst to Spain repair,
The ports are filled with snow.
Wait, and we will fly together,
When the Spring brings sunny weather.
