Subject: Lyr Add: TRI MARTOLOD (trad Breton) From: Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin Date: 08 Apr 99 - 06:02 PM The lyrics in Breton are -
Tri martolod yaouank tra la la la digatra
Gant 'n avel bet kaset tra la la la digatra
E-kichen Meilh-ar-Wern tra la la la digatra
Hag e-barzh ar veilh-se tra la la la digatra
Hag e c'houlenn ganin tra la la la digatra
E Naoned er marc'had tra la la la digatra You can see that the structure of the song is quite repetitive, so the following attempt at a translation just tries to deal with the operative words in each verse - you'll have to sort out the vocables for yourself. In fact, you'll probably have to sort out the meaning for yourself! I hesitate to attempt any Breton, not knowing how the grammar operates to any great extent. However, by fumbling through my Breton dictionary, some sort of story seems to emerge - the nearer the end, the more hazy my attempts get, needless to say. Take it all with a pinch of salt! Three young sailors went travelling By means of a strong wind they were sent up to Newfoundland In the vicinity of Meilh-ar-Wern (the mill on the marsh?) they set(?) their anchors And inside that mill was a female servant And she asked me where were our usual neighbours In Nantes in the market our customary chosen circle I hope you can find a Breton speaker to give you the proper thing. Shoh slaynt - yec'hed mat, Bobby Bob, Enez Manav |
