Basque to English

 Itsasoraino kaleak sutan 

egur harrien goria... 

Suak ez ditu erretzen mina, 

maitasuna, memoria.. Andre ta gizon hauexek dira, 

euren gain hartu zoria ta amildutako harri haiekin 

berreraikiz historia, behetik gora jaso zutenak 

goitik behera eroria.

(English)

Streets ablaze all the way to the sea, 

the searing heat of timber and stone... 

Fire cannot consume pain, 

love, or memory... These are the men and women 

who took fate into their own hands— 

rebuilding history with the fallen stones, 

raising up from the ground 

what had come crashing down. 

Maialen Lujanbio 

A tribute to the civilian population of Donostia, represented by a woman rebuilding the city—stone by stone—following the fire of 1813.
