Lili Bat


(Sarrioanandia/Laboa)

lili bat
hartu
eta hostoz hosto
erantzi
eta harek zu ere
amets
eta harek zu ere
erantzi
eta hostoz hosto
hartu
lili bat
a lily,
you take it
and petal by petal
you undress it (remove them),
and the flower dreams of you too,
and she also undresses you,
and petal by petal
you hold it,
a lily

(Lili is also a generic name for flower in northern dialects of Basque;
erantzi means literally to undress, and here figuratively to peel off;
notice the palindrome effect or paralelism in the lines of this poem.)
