The Turtledove
Night and day, I listen to the birds
Who sing and trill from the trees,
Nothing touches my heart
As much as the lament of the turtledove that weeps for her love.
2.
She sighs by night and day in pain and sorrow
Like some grieving widow who has lost her man,
The echo of her painful lament flows through the woods
She is the most afflicted of all birds.
3.
What torments your heart, dove?
I lost my faithful love…
Unless the hunter arrives to kill me,
I will die of sorrow for my sweet and faithful darling.
4.
I saw the youngster die
Her heart desiccated from sorrow, pain;
Of her last sigh she said again,
Goodbye my dear follower, on which she died.

Both the lion and the cock that are our vexation.

Hard though it is to imagine a tomorrow

ENGLISH (translation)
Sunday Morning
1.
Sunday morning, thou in my bed,
light of day is only just,
Yet art thou a-dreaming,
warm and snug by my side,
Lost in some world afar,
far beyond sight that wakens,
Thou that I love – thou the keeper of all my living.
2.
The curtain is opened,
mist-rain on the pane, cold,
Fingers, bare, of the poplar slender, that is scratching the grey of the sky…
Over the roof, the wind intones,
a lullaby of winter to my dear-heart,
Thou that I love – thou the keeper of all my living.
3.
I look soon my watch,
eight-o-clock past already,
Do thee I wake with my kiss,
thee that I may bring back into my life?
Do thee I wake? Oh, no, no!
The moment blessed here not lasts,
Thou that I love – thou the keeper of all my living.
ENGLISH (Metric)
Sunday Morning (English – metric version)
1.
Thou and I on Sunday morning
Light of day has scarcely dawned,
Still art thou, so peaceful dreaming,
By my side, so snugly, warmly,
Wandering in some world afar,
Far beyond my wakening sight…
Thou my loving… thou the keeper of my life…
2.
Through the window, curtains opened,
Drizzle on the cold panes falls,
Poplar fingers bare and slender Scratch against the sky so grey,
Across the roof the wind is crooning
Winter lullaby to my dear…
Thou my loving… thou the keeper of my life…
3.
Presently my watch is telling
Eight o’clock already gone –
Shall I wake thee with my kissing
So I bring thee back to living?
Shall I wake thee? Oh! No, no!
This blest moment will not last,
Thou my loving… thou the keeper of my life…

Kernow Ha Breizh (English, Breton, Cornish)
1.
Oh, you may take the old high road but I will take the sea,
And you may fare to Exeter, but I to Brittany,
The road it tumbles across the hills one hundred miles or more,
But my ship she'll tumble from wave to wave until she come to shore.
Refrain
Ynsol, ynsol, Bretonyon oll, ha deugh abarth dhyn-ny,
Kernow ha Breizh onen a vyth alemma rak defry.
2.
We hoisted up our anchor then, we hoisted up our yards,
And the good north gale it filled our sails and soon we cleared the roads,
And forged we on across the sea, along the unseen track,
Till when night and day had passed away, we come to Aberwrac’h.
Refrain
3.
So, gather in my kith and kin, and all united be;
We’ll drink a toast to our gentle host, the land of Brittany
Refrain (x2)
FRENCH:
La Cornouaille et La Bretagne
1.
Vous vous pouvez p‘rendre le vieux chemin mais moi, je prendrai la mer,
Et vous, vous pouvez vous rendre a Exeter, mais moi en Bretagne,
Le chemin roule a travers les collines cent miles et plus,
Mais mon bateau il roulera d'une onde a I'autre jusqu’ a ce qu’il arrive a terre
Refrain
Debout, debout, tous les Bretons et accompagnez-nous,
La Cornouaille et La Bretagne seront unies a jamais c’est sur. 2.
Alors nous levémes I’ancre, nous levémes les vergues,
Et le bon vent du nord remplit les voiles et bientot nous quittémes la rade.
Nous allémes a grand'erre sur la mer par la voie invisibles,
Jusqu’a ce que grand la nuit et le jour furent passés, nous vinmes a Aberwrac'h.
Refrain
3.
Donc rassemblez-vous mes parents et amis et soyez tous unis;
Nous porterons la santé de notre gentil hôte, le pays de Bretagne.

Kenavo – Goodbye
1.
So, "One and All" for you we sing,
To further joy and dry all tears,
And from the echo we have learned,
That there is friendship on this earth.
2.
So Kenavo, good friends and true,
There flourishes within each heart,
Within each heart, joy as you've seen,
Our thanks to you… Dew genowgh hwi.
