Un emsav new-flamm breman ba 'Breizh a so ganetAn dispac'h a so fleunia dindan hon daoulagadLaka'n oll bobl da sonjal piw eo heñ ha p'lec'h 'yaGanet eo bet hon dispac'h er bloazioù hanterkantGa'r bagadoù ha Kendalc'h kentañ paz an emskiantGanet eo an dispac'h-sen gant un dra 'rall iwezGa'c'houstiañs ekonomek ha gant an M.O.B.Braset 'n eus an dispac'h-man 'el 'wrizienn ba'n douar'Pad ar bloazioù triuigent ha deit da voud kreñv 'walc'hGant Glenmor, ga'n U.D.B., ga'r bresel aljerienGant taolioù an F.L.B., gant emgann ar c'houerienUr paz all so tremenet e miz "Mae soixante-huit"Hor stourm so bet kredaet, holl lentegezh 'so aet kuitKudennoù ekonomik, sosial ha politik'N eus lakaet 'n traoù da virviñ peplec'h barzh hor broigC'hoant 'm eus bet da skoazella ar bobl bet ma magerA' gwraet'm eus ewel tud all 'pezh 'oan barreg d'oberMa n'eo ket bet kompren't mat gant 'n oll dud dre amanMa sro dre an Olympia so bet'n taol braw'wid 'vro-manSikolojek eo bet an dra-se 'wid lakaad 'yaouankizLaosk ar balioù 'wid 'fest-nos ha n'eo ket nemed ur c'hizHa memes an dud koshoc'h 'n'eus kollet o kompleks fallHa komañs 'ra da joñjal int par da tudoù allAn dispac'h a so breman tuchantik 'vo trec'husBa'bloawezhioù pewarugent to 'vo sewel ur bed eürus.At the end of World War II, after all the fighting,Bretons started up anew, a movement was uniting.Suddenly and everywhere a revolution blooming,People thinking who they were and what they had been doing.Round and round and hand-in-hand the people started dancingAnd behind the pipe bands they were soon advancing.Another thing was needed then, it was a demonstrationOf economic consciousness and organisation.The tree we planted rooted firm back in 1950And the branches spread and spread into 1960.Glenmor ant his Breton songs, the Democratic Union,Then the Liberation Front and peasants in rebellion.And another step we took in May of 1968We began to be believed and to speak were not afraid.The temperature was rising fast, soon it would be boiling,For social and political solutions we were calling.Every man who wants to help does what he is ableAnd so I did what I could do just to help the people.Perhaps it wasn't understood although it's really simplerHow I helped the Breton cause playing at Olympia.To teach the Breton youth to dance, I did it for a reason,Instead of dancing foreign steps and not just for a season.And now the older people learn that they are not inferior,We stand on equal terms on earth along with every other.The revolution now we make is going to be victoriousAnd in the 1980's we'll build a world that's joyous.
