E Ti Eliz Iza

′Ti Eliz Iza 'zo ur plachig
Eürus dous koan′vel un aelig
Eürus dous koan'vel un aelig
He anv'zo korantenig
′Vond d′an ejip dre ar saozon
Ma zad'zo beuzet kreiz ar mor don
Kalon ma mamm baour a ranne
Pa n′oa klevet ar cheloù se
War vord ar mor war ar chorre
Korantenig oele doureg
Alas, alas piv ez on me
Me n'am eus den war ar bed-man
Me n′am eus den war an douar
Na tad na mamm, na breur na c'hoar
′Barzh an envoùzo un tad mad
E rumengol'zo vamm vad
Korantenig'oele doureg
E rumengol p′oa erruet
Gwerchez vari, me a zo paour
N′am eus mann'bet, blev melen aour
Me m′eus na koar na goulaouen
Netra, netra, 'med ma feden
Me a rei doch′vit kurunen
Ur guden deuz ma blev melen

E Ti Eliz Iza

My dearest Eliz, from your cradle
The west wind brought you fairy tales
The west wind brought you fairy tales
Its name was a murmur
Sailing from Egypt to the English
My father drowned in the deep sea
My mother's heart broke too early
When she heard the news
On the shore of the sea, on the strand
The fairy tales were sad
Alas, alas, where can I go
I have no one in this world
I have no one on earth
No father or mother, no brother or sister
In heaven is a good father
In heaven is a good mother
The fairy tales were sad
In heaven I will arrive
Sell me rings, for I am poor
I have no wealth, only golden hair
I have neither bread nor light
Nothing, nothing, except my faith
I will give you a crown
A comb for my golden hair
