Ametsen lurraldean by Iñaki Kareaga — Lyrics
Egunaren trena
gauez gelditzen da
ametsen lurraldean.
Trena trikitraka
abiatu aurretik,
jolastuko zara izar artean.
Zoaz hegan
eguna argitu bitartean.
Zoaz hegan

About Ametsen lurraldean
Ametsen lurraldean, meaning 'In the land of dreams', is a gentle secular lullaby sung in Basque. The text evokes a train journey into a dream world where a child can play amongst the stars until dawn. It speaks of enduring parental presence and reassurance against bad dreams. This SAB setting captures the tender, comforting nature of the lyrics, making it suitable for a peaceful moment in a concert programme, perhaps towards the end of a concert, or as a tender item in a school or community choir's repertoire. Its simple, evocative melody and soothing text create a calming atmosphere.
