Paroles et traduction Alan Stivell - An Durzhunel

An Durzhunel

Kalz amzer am-eus kollet o furchal er c′hoajou,
O klask tapout un durzunel kousket war ar brankou
Devet am-eus ma amors ha tennet am-eus fall,
Achapet an durzunel ha nijet d'ur c′hoad all.
Diouz an noz hag ar mintin e klevan al lapoused,
O kana, o fredonin, da veg ar gwez pignet,
Ma n'eus nikun anezo hag a bik ma c'halon,
Evel mouez un durzunel o ouelan d′he mignon.
Hirvoud a ran nozh ha deiz gant ar boan ha glac′har,
Evel eun intanvez paour kollet ganti e far,
Ma n'eus nikun anezo hag a bik ma c′halon,
Evel mouez un durzunel o ouelan d'he mignon.
Petra turzunel yaouank a dourmant
Mont a ran da vervel" raktal eo tremenet.
Melezour skler ha brillant deus ar fidelite
Ar model ar sinseran deus ar gwir garantez
Nann, ne varvin ket kontant ma ne varvan fidel
Birviken ne zizonjin marv an durzunel.

The Nightingale

Long time have I been searching in vain for my love,
Trying to find the nightingale sleeping in the branches
Nine times have I fallen and nine times I've gotten up,
Awakened the nightingale and followed it to another wood.
At the hour of night and morning I hear the birds,
Singing, warbling, in the tops of the highest trees,
But there is not one of them that can understand my heart,
Like the voice of a nightingale mourning for its mate.
I wander night and day with sorrow and lament,
As a poor widow who has lost her husband,
But there is not one of them that can understand my heart,
Like the voice of a nightingale mourning for its mate.
What young nightingale is sleeping
I am going to die" he has just passed by.
Bright and shining guardian of fidelity
The most sincere model of true love
No, I will not die happy unless I die faithful
Forever I will remember the death of the nightingale.
