Rites of euskal herria-Basque country. Spain

It is the big week and we are in full parties.
Today it's rural sport.
Among many that I will teach you.
Today the queen is the ax, the trunk and the man.
We call these men:
Aizkolaris

Ritos de euskal herria-pais vasco. España

Es la Semana grande y estamos en plenas fiestas.
Hoy toca deporte rural.
Entre muchos que os iré enseñando.
Hoy la reina es el hacha, el tronco y el hombre.
A estos hombres le llamamos:

Aizkolaris

We are in the Arenal city center.
We all look forward to it.
It's our sport for many generations.
You can read the story in the link that I have posted.
As I always tell you my experience.
Of course, I'm not objective in this.
I carry it in my blood.
Aizkolaris

Estamos en el Arenal centro de la ciudad.
Todos esperamos con ansia.
Es nuestro deporte desde hace muchas generaciones.
La historia la podeis leer en el enlace que os he puesto.
Yo como siempre os cuento mi experiencia.
Claro que en esto no soy objetiva.
Lo llevo en la sangre.
Aizkolaris

They fight against time and wood.
Beech wood, smooth and beautiful.
His work weapon is his axes.
Axes made in Australia.
Since they do the best for this sport.
Compared in some tests the Australian axes and ours.
They win for 9 minutes. So thanks for doing those wonders, #australian friends
Ellos luchan contra el tiempo y la madera.
Madera de Haya, tersa y hermosa.
Su arma de trabajo son sus hachas.
Hachas fabricadas en Australia.
Ya que ellos hacen las mejores para este deporte.
Comparadas en unas pruebas las hachas Australianas y las nuestras.
Ellas ganan por 9 minutos. Así que gracias por hacer esas maravillas amigos Australianos.

But they also have to be spoiled.
Sharpen them, make them beautiful

Pero a ellas también hay que mimarlas.
Afilarlas, ponerlas bellas

That they feel that they are important is this competition.
They are unique and they have to know.
Que sientan que son importantes es esta competición.
Son únicas y tienen que saberlo.

Now the Aizkolari
He is the one who fights over the trunk of beech.
He has to beat his rival.
That he is as strong and willing as he is.
Ahora el Aizkolari
Es el que pelea sobre el tronco de haya.
Tiene que ganar a su rival.
Que es tan fuerte y dispuesto como él.

The chips fly away.
Shot by the force and mastery of the aizkolari
Las astillas salen volando.
Disparadas por la fuerza y la maestría del aizkolari

Of course it matters to be the first.
But the real important thing is:
Maintain our customs and rituals.
Know where we came from
Although we are children of the world.
In the end we were exhausted but happy
Claro que importa ser el primero.
Pero lo real mente importante es:
Mantener nuestras costumbres y ritos.
Saber de dónde venimos.
Aunque seamos hijos del mundo.
Al final quedamos exhaustos pero contentos.

Jamás, querida Txatxy: las tradiciones son el alma del pueblo y forman una parte muy importante de nuestra cultura.

A cool post... I think Euskal Herria is a great nation full of culture and traditions... Here in Venezuela we have to be thankful with your people... Remember Simón Bolívar ancestors was from there... My little upvote to you.

I'm already following you ☺

I write in English is not my language and I guess neither yours
many vaskos emigrated to venezuela so there are many roots in the world
Happy day
