The end of Pamplona and the time of the struggles

  • The last greeting from the champion hits the chest and only the bertso enthusiast heads to the car. Strange sensations, new tangles in the throat. With the closing of the door, now he will cry quietly.
Argazkia: Dani Blanco - ARGIA

21 December 2022 - 14:48

5 hours earlier in Nafarroa Arena, one out of 13,000 people.

16:00 PM

Bertsolari has eaten by reading the article of Ainhoa Urien. It is not usual in him, but he rises hungry from the table. He liked what he was offered, he had all his ingredients, salty and sweet to his fair extent, he has no doubt that they were presented to him with mime, but the truth is that he did not entirely satisfy him. I was hungry and thirsty for something new. Change the subject and eat well.

16:45 PM

With coffee you feel the need to exchange opinions. When his turn comes, he says he sees a similar rivalry, comparing with the cyclists in a drummer: he has represented eight in the platoon, in the head of Lujanbio throwing; behind Subai, Alaia, Beñat, Amets and Aitor, sheltered by the wind; Nerea, rubber, to the group of favorites; and Joanes, passed smiling. The end of the stage will be narrow.

16:59 PM

The house comes. The waves reach Nafarroa Arena. The 8 protagonists step up the stage between the applause foams to start the afternoon session. Maialen, Beñat and, above all, Amets stand out in the small ten. Will the storm burst?

17:45 PM

In the absence of wedges and blows, Bertsolari has used the tipping sessions with discretion to learn that France and Argentina are tied at the World Cup finals. In Pamplona it will also be the bertsolaris who decide the classification.

18:25 PM

When he gets up, the fan of the verse feels good and sharpens attention. This is Maialen Lujanbio's turn. Know that drink. The second of the three precious stones that has sung all day of the skin of the worker engaged in cleaning the houses of others, in particular, has added a new series of memorable verses: “If I have reclasses/I don’t have time to fight the rights of my house.” At this end in which all kinds of social issues are imposing, bertsolari believes that the first of the two tickets head to the owner. Everybody else -- oh! The other one doesn't.

18:58 PM

Bertsolari discovers with discretion that Argentina has won the end in the round of penaltis launch. Meanwhile, bertsolari is not clear who will play the head at the Word World Cup. There are so many opinions around you.

19:12 PM

“These are the two bertsolaris that will sing in the head: Amets Arzallus Antia and Maialen Lujanbio Zugasti!” Every rear scratches the hole and the fan of the verse, remembering the Quiniela that has done 5 minutes earlier. What a devil? He thought, we've come to enjoy. Start the end.

19:29 PM

Bertsolari's expectation has long exceeded the last quarter of an hour, both in six shorts and eight small ones, when two of the favorite bertsolaris remind him of what bapate Bertsolari can enjoy. Although he thought that with the theme of two chronic timids it was difficult to overcome the chants, he was wrong: in the zortziko txikia the square had exploded completely.

On request, actress Amets Arzallus has been in charge of making Maialen Lujanbio's biographic film on Hernaniarra. The tik-taka between the two has been anthological: “You’ll have to give a little bit of cork with tip/wick/fire/drink a little bit/tan,” Maialen has released; “R-see, it seemed to me/voluntarily I have been elected to the north,” Amets in his best version, and Lujanbio’s latest idea, “we have hair in the opposite place,” he exploded for the first time this Sunday in the plaza.

19:48 PM

Arzallus has elegantly finished her boss work and comes to the stage to give her a reply, Lujanbio. At Ondobide the txapela should be yours, and the bertsolari, in the last proposal by the hernaniarra, has focused on the last 3 suitable verses.

“There is no plan B.”

19:58 PM

(…) Bertsolari is not able to write anything.

19:59 PM

Bertsolari is still unable to turn its 3 alone. They're not just verses. The ideas built from simplicity and lack of epic have suggested the birth of a new cycle, a new bertsolarism, a worldview, a new and renewed idea that this could be. It surprises him by reflecting…

20:08 PM

… “Champion, Maialen Lujanbio Zugasti!”…

Applauded and standing, clouded by the mind, falls to previous thoughts. At each point of Lujanbio he has thought he heard the sound of the crak of old schemes, convinced that the change of direction of a gallon of wood is cracking, a crude and totemic voice that comes below the cobblestones, is the first step of a style that is not yet able to fully understand, but opens new paths.

The verses of the zortziko sculptures have brought bertsolari out of the trance state. And what demon?, he said, for the second time… Before the tide of euphoria lets her carry.

20:19 PM

Minutes of euphoria.

20:30 PM

More minutes of euphoria.

20:37 PM

Iñaki Murua is going to put a button on the champion. Bertsolari, like the whole family of bertsos, has a beloved affection, and the most exciting moment of all day, the hug he has given to Maialen. More than the verse silenced by Murua, he said the admiration look of 8 bertsolaris from the 13,000 and two previous sides.

20:41 PM

Maialen is going to sing his last greeting.

21:17 PM

Most lights have been turned off, and the red ants are moving forward. Bertsolari gets up from the chair and goes.
