A Breton Carol by Chieftains
P�h trouz zou ar en doar
P�h kan a gleúan me
Na kaeret er boehieú e za lein eun n�
Eled, lavaret d’emb eit petra e kannet?
Peneú �ted ar z� e zou arriú er bed?
Arnet eúe genemb kannet pobl ag en doar?
Ewan de laret d’ho eun n� úèted hemb par
Eur mabig beniget rou� a Jerusalem
E zo gannet eit-ho �r g�r a vethl�em
translation:
What noise on earth?
who is singing for me and who I am hearing
how much I like these voices who sing in the skies
and what do they say in their song?
what is new that happened on earth?
we hear the people sing on earth
I come to tell you that in the sky there is something beyond compare
a small child blessed, king of Jerusalem
and who was born for them (the people) in the town of Bethlehem
Translated by Nolwenn Monjarret
