It\u2019s titled \u201c36ko Gabonetan\u201d (\u201cDuring the Christmas of \u201836\u201d), about 1936. The song talks about how, during the Civil War, people from both sides declared a ceasefire for some days. Look, now it\u2019s happening in Israel and Palestine\u2026 They decided to cease fire because it was Christmas. They stopped and not only that: they sat down at the same table to eat together. There were cases where even brothers from different sides were eating together. They were young people from Bizkaia and Navarra, who possibly spoke Basque.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In the chorus, the song asks, \u201cWhat would they talk about during that meal? Why weren\u2019t they able to stop the war definitively? If they were able to stop for a few days, to make that beautiful gesture because it was Christmas Eve, special dates\u2026 why weren\u2019t they able to reach agreements instead of continuing to kill each&nbsp;other?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The song is very sweet, and I used a very small trikitixa to perform it.
