This entry is about my favourite song: Lau teilatu.

It is a really calm vasc song written originally by a group called Itoiz. Amaia Montero (my favourite singer and ex-La Oreja de Van Gogh) performs it specially feating Mikel Erentxun. I really like the song because their voices do nothing but fit together perfectly and at a point seem to dance along with the sweet music. it remainds me of my name, too. These are the lyrics:

Hemen gaude

Here we are

tapoztutzen naiz

and I'm glad

ta ziur zure aita ere bai;

and so does your father

ta zer ondo... zelan dijua

and, how good... you look

zure bufanda txuria.

with your white scarf

Lau teilatu gainian

Over four roofs

ilargia erdian eta zu

the moon in the middle and you

goruntz begira,

looking up

zure keia eskuetan

with light smoke on your hands

putzara batekin... putz!

with a blow..puff!

Neregana etorriko da

It will come where I am

ta berriz izango gara

and again we will be

zoriontsue

happy

dozein herriko jaixetan.

on every town's party

Goxo goxo

Gladly, gladly

kanta egin nazu

sing to me,

Benitoren Maria Solt.

Maria Solt from Benito

Negarrik ez,

Don't cry,

txuri zaude ta malkoakzure

you're pale and your tears

kolorea kentzen dute.

errase your color

Lau teilatu gainian...

Over four roofs...

Felix, Felix bihar

Happily, happily, tomorrow

berriz egongo gara

we will be again

txanpain apur batekin

with a bit of champaine

diru gabe baina

without money, but

izarrak gurekin daude,

the stars are with us

piano baten soinuaz.

with the sound of a piano

Lau teilatu gainian...

Over four roofs...
