Hemen nire orkestrarako bertsioa. Beste euskal musika bat kanal honetan bertan: "Oda al Pueblo Vasco". Esta canción es quizás la más popular canción vasca junto con "Maite" y "En el Monte Gorbea". Aquí mi última versión para orquesta. Otra música vasca en éste mismo canál: "Oda al Pueblo Vasco". "Agur Jaunak" ("Greetings, Sirs!"), is a Basque song which is sung at particular ceremonies to welcome someone recently arrived or( nowadays mostly) to say goodbye to a friend. Normally it is sung a cappella in one or various voices, and it is a custom that the audience stand up to hear this song. composer: Carlos Johansson Pictures: Isabel Johansson Basque dialectal text:English: Agur, jaunak, jaunak, agur, agur t´erdi. Danak Jainkoak eiñak gire zuek eta bai gu ere. Agur, jaunak, jaunak, agur, hemen gire. Hail, Good Sirs, Good Sirs, Hail Thrice Hail ! We all are God´s creatures You and we both. Hai, Good Sirs, Good Sirs, hail! Here we are, all present. The translation needs certain explanations from the original Basque words: "Agur" is a Basque word that we can translate into English both as "hail" and as "farewell". "Jaunak" in the context of the song means gentlemen, sirs, people of certain social stature, someone who deserves certain courtesy. It is said that whenever this melody and song are performed, Basque people stand up.
