En esta noche, noche de otoño, 00:17
Lluvia de estrellas en Aralar. 00:20
Todos los árboles como en un cuento, 00:23
Bailan movidos por el vendaval. 00:26
Lengua de sapo, ojo de serpiente, 00:57
Piedra tallada por el basajaun. 01:01
Cola de rata, colmillo de zorro, 01:04
Uñas de vieja, amarre de amor. 01:07
Cierro los ojos por un momento, 01:10
Pido un deseo al firmamento. 01:13
Que tú me quieras más de lo que yo te quiero. 01:17
Que tú seas mío y de nadie más. 01:20
Que tú seas mío y de nadie más. 01:38
Que tú seas mío y de nadie más. 01:46

[English]
On this autumn night,
A star shower over Aralar.
All the trees, like in a fairy tale,
Dance, swept by the gale.
Toad's tongue, serpent's eye,
Stone carved by the basajaun.
Rat's tail, fox's fang,
Old woman's nails, love binding.
I close my eyes for a moment,
I make a wish to the sky.
That you love me more than I love you.
That you be mine and no one else's.
That you be mine and no one else's.
That you be mine and no one else's.
