Translation of "besterik gabe" into English

Urte asko egin ditut nik etxean. Etxea ezberdina da etxekoandrearentzat, edo, besterik gabe, bertan bizi denarentzat. Ahitu egiten du etxeak, txikitu, ito.

I've spent many years at home. A house is different for the housewife, or, simply, for the one who lives in it. The house exhausts you, shrinks you, suffocates you.

Inor ez da besterik gabe, hau da, arrazoi pribaturik gabe, jeneralburu, edo anarkista, edo sozialista, edo erreakzionario egiten eta mundua nola edo hala aldatu duten gertaera handiek —prestuak nahiz doilorrak—, beti gertaera erabat hutsalen bat izan dute sorburu, guretzat ezezaguna.

No one becomes a generalissimo, or an anarchist, or a socialist, or a reactionary simply, that is, without private reasons, and the great events that have changed the world in one way or another—good or bad—always have their origin in some completely insignificant event, unknown to us.
