                                                        Gernikako arbola
                                                        da bedeinkatua
                                                        Euskaldunen artean
                                                        guztiz maitatua.
                                                        Eman ta zabal zazu
                                                        munduan frutua
                                                        adoratzen zaitugu
                                                        arbola santua

                                                       Mila urte inguru da
                                                       esaten dutela
                                                       Jainkoan jarri zuela
                                                       Gernikako arbola.
                                                       Zaude bada zutikan
                                                       orain da denbora
                                                       eroritzen bazera
                                                       arras galdu gera

                                                       Ez zera eroriko
                                                       arbola maitea
                                                       baldin portatzen bada
                                                       Bizkaiko Juntia.
                                                       Laurok hartuko degu
                                                       zurekin partea
                                                       pakian bizi dedin
                                                       euskaldun jendia.

                                                       Betiko bizi dedin
                                                       Jaunari eskatzeko
                                                       jarri gaitezen danok
                                                       laister belauniko.
                                                       Eta bihotzetikan
                                                       eskatu ezkero
                                                       arbola biziko da
                                                       orain eta gero.

                                                       Arbola botatzia
                                                       dutena pentsatu
                                                       Euskal Herri guztian
                                                       denak badakigu.
                                                       Ea bada jendia
                                                       denbora orain degu
                                                       erori gabetanik
                                                       eduki behar degu.

                                                       Beti egongo zera
                                                       udaberrikoa
                                                       lore aintzinetako
                                                       mantxa gabekoa.
                                                       Erruki zaite, bada,
                                                       bihotz gurekoa
                                                       denbora galdu gabe
                                                       emanik frutua.

                                                      Arbolak erantzun du
                                                      kontuz bizitzeko
                                                      eta bihotzetikan
                                                      Jaunari eskatzeko,
                                                      gerrarik nahi ez degu
                                                      pakea betiko,
                                                      gure lege zuzenak
                                                      hemen maitatzeko.

                                                      Erregutu diogun
                                                      Jaungoiko Jaunari
                                                      pakea emateko
                                                      orain eta beti.
                                                      Baita indarra ere
                                                      zerorren lurrari
                                                      eta bendizioa
                                                      Euskal Herriari.
