In this news of the web Eitb.eus you can see the farewell of the champion. Fully transcribed into:
At the end of the Bertso Eskola
Who was waiting for us?
Who it was when we were sick
Is it able to sweeten all the pains?
For us to celebrate
Who wasn't doing the parties?
And who led us
Two siblings in the stomach?
Though you didn't
today we want to see prominence
mother, offer
no doubt wouldn't be quiet
I'm the son of Xabier
And Pili's, too.
