Bizkaiko lur gorrian
Euzkotarren artean
Gernikako arbola
adoratzen zaitugu,
Eman ta zabal zazu
guztiz maitatua.
adoratzen zaitugu,
euskaldunen artean
zabaldu da munduan
zutik dago zuhaitz bat
zuk, zuhaitz maitea.
adoratzen zaitugu,
munduan frutua,
da bedeinkatua,
duen argi hutsa,
adoratzen zaitugu,
Gernikako Arbola
Eman ta zabal zazu
Eman ta zabal zazu
zu zara bakarra,
arbola santua.
guztiz maitatua.
Eman ta zabal zazu
arbola santua.
gure askatasuna.
adoratzen zaitugu,
arbola santua.
arbola santua.
guztiz maitatua,
Eman ta zabal zazu
arbola santua.
Jaungoikoak agintzen
zu zara bakarra,
munduan frutua,
munduan frutua,
munduan frutua,
munduan frutua,
