Ez Esan Maite


(Lete, "eskeintza", 1992)

Ez dezagun esan, maite
gu ez ginela horrelakoak,
muduak ginduela hondatu.
Gu ere mundua ginen,
materia ilun berberaz eginak,
ez ginen besteek uste bezain makurrak
ez guk nahi bezain zuzenak.
Gugan zegoen argia itzali baldin bazen
ez inori errukik bota
ez kulparik egotzi,
argitik ilunerako urratsa
mila bider eman bai genuen
hainbestetan orbandu
elkarrekiko leialtasun lehena.
Orain badakigu nun gauden
eta zer geran
eta zer itxoin genezakeen
egunsenti batetatik.
Don't say, my love
that we weren't like that,
that the world changed us,
for we too were part of that world
made from the same dark matter,
we weren't as imperfect as some thought we were,
or as perfect as we would have liked.
If the light that was in us was extinguished
don't blame anyone,
don't look for anybody to blame,
for the line between the light and the darkness
we crossed it a thousand times
so many times we mangled
our original loyalty to each other.
Now we know where we are
and what we are
and what we can expect
from each new day.
