A Breton Carol

Péh trouz zou ar en doar
Péh kan a gleúan me
Na kaeret er boehieú e za lein eun né
Eled, lavaret d'emb eit petra e kannet?
Peneú éted ar zé e zou arriú er bed?

Arnet eúe genemb kannet pobl ag en doar?
Ewan de laret d'ho eun né úèted hemb par
Eur mabig beniget roué a Jerusalem
E zo gannet eit-ho ér gér a vethléem

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
