The choral group is currently learning a Christmas carol called "Gabonna,berri ona.
Music-Javier Busto.
Hitzak ?????????? Josune Lopez
Can anyone translate, please,
Kind regards,
Billyboy.
Javier Busto is from the Basque area of Spain. The song is in Basque and is called Gabona Berri Ona!
Basque is unique in so far as it is totally unrelated to any other language, so unless you speak the language you cannot 'suss it out'.
I think that Berri means 'new' and Ona translates as 'good', I have no idea what Gabona means. But Gabon means evening.
With this information I would suspect the title is 'Good New Eve'.....which is the equivelent to 'Happy New Year!'.......Of course, I might be wrong, and it could just as well translate to 'I've Got a Luvverly Bunch of Coconuts', but that's my best shot.
Try and find an online translator for Basque to English......
Good luck!
