lyrics translation:

sis(*), don’t leave me here alone on this cold night

I need you close to ease the fatigue

I’ll bring the rum, you bring your company

let’s listen to Camarón(**) and lick our wounds

sis, I won’t care how much it stings

as long as I have you both and there’s rum for the road

there’ll be no bugbite that won’t heal, no heartache that’ll last

let’s go out tonight and come home on monday

bro, you know I melt like icecream

but then I stay all frosty

give me some of your joy, no charge

like I’ve given you before when you’ve asked

bro, don’t leave me here alone on this cold night

I need you close to ease the fatigue

I’ll bring the rum, you bring the company

let’s listen to Camarón and lick our wounds

let’s dry our tears

dampening our throats

get rid of the mixer

I bring rum, dry, no ice

how tasty, this poison

how it dyes grief with colour

know this

to lovesickness we give spirits

to bad times, shared drinks

life isn’t just the routine of the warehouse or the office

put out my fire with gasoline

(*) in spain, mostly in the south, we use prima/primo (cousin) to address our friends, like sis/bro

(**) Camarón de la Isla was a spanish Rroma flamenco singer who died in the early 90s but is still very popular, again, mostly in the south

I know I’m a day late, but here’s my annual song for International Women’s Day! This time it’s by the Basque band Huntza, led by Josune Arakistan (accordion and voice) and Uxue Amonarriz Zubiondo (tambourine and voice), who are the two amazing musicians appearing at the beginning of the video. It also features the band Tremenda Jauría, who are from Madrid and make lots of amazing feminist music in genres that traditionally haven’t been very welcoming to women. I really like this song (and also Huntza, but you probably know that already), and I hope y’all enjoy it too!

Tradizioak traizionatzean, Betraying traditions ileak puntan jartzean, Putting hairs on end erratzak utzi ta mikrofonoak hartzean, Leaving behind brooms and taking up microphones hegan egitean… ez digute esango! Flying… they won’t tell us...

[ ERREPIKA: Zer egin, nola esan, nola egin (e)ta zer izan. What to do, how to talk, how to do things, and how to be Zer egin, nola esan, nola egin, (e)ta zer izan… What to do, how to talk, how to do things, and how to be ]

Nacimos preparadas, We were born ready más fuertes en manada. Stronger in a pack Se acabó tu juego: Your game is up ya no tenemos miedo! We’re not scared anymore

Entre hechizos y runas Between spells and runes organizadas verás a las hijas del agua. You’ll see the daughters of water organized Entre sombras y lunas, su poder. Between shadows and moons, their power

Como una enredadera que te atrapa aunque no quieras, Like a vine that traps you even though you don’t want it to cumbia, reggaeton, auto-tune y carretera. Cumbia, reggaeton, auto-tune, and highway Como una enredadera que te atrapa aunque no quieras, Like a vine that traps you even though you don’t want it to seguimos salvajes, rompiendo barreras! we’ll continue wildly, breaking down barriers

Siguiendo los pasos que otras andaron, Following the steps that others took codo con codo, micrófono en mano; arm in arm, microphone in hand abriendo caminos, tejiendo alegrías, opening paths, weaving joys aquí estamos, sí, here we are, yes con fuerza, con power. with strength, with power

Siguiendo los pasos que otras andaron, Following the steps that others took codo con codo, micrófono en mano; arm in arm, microphone in hand abriendo caminos, tejiendo alegrías, opening paths, weaving joys aquí estamos, sí, here we are, yes con fuerza, con power, con todo el descaro! with strength, with power, with all our nerve
