Paroles et traduction Tri Yann - An Tourter

An Tourter

Benveg an diaoul, ô petra 'rez?
Dizah 'r bleuz, diskar ar gwéz!
Freuza 'r park, karga an hent!i
Diskolpa 'r menez gand da zent!
Mahagna 'rez ar parkeier
An drevajou, ar hoajeier
Frigasa 'rez yeot ar 'foenneg
Ha diskolpa brug al lanneg
'Vel eun taro dall pennfollet
E tourter kriz 'vel dirrolet
Eun druez eo flastra glazur!
Ober labour ken dinatur!
Ouz da zilehr ne jom nemed
Gwez toull-govet, glazvez breset.
Eur brén-douar ne rafe két
Gwasoh dismantr e leh e-bed
Da storlokou, pell, a drégern
Muioh eged eun trouz ivern
Da harvanou a zo euzuz
Ha da êzenn a zo fleuriuz
Piou an diaoul e-neus ijinet
Eur seurt benveg ken milliget?
A laz, a sko 'vel eun treitour
A ra d'an dén chom dilabour.
Benveg ganet 'kreiz ar brezel
Tres an ivern war beb ezel
Ganit e klever c'hwéz ar poultr.
Kerz kuit da strakal gand ar foultr

TheReaper

Accursed devil, what art thou?
Casting a blight, felling the trees!
Ravaging the field, blocking the road!
Desecrating the mountain with your curse!
Destroying the groves and the hedgerows
Frightening the animals and the birds
Freezing the water in the springs
And cursing the heather on the moor
Like a blind, crazed bull
The reaper rages like a madman
A cruel creature that destroys nature!
Doing work that is unnatural!
In your wake, you leave only
Hollow trees and broken branches.
Not a single blade of grass
Can withstand your deadly embrace
Your teeth, sharp and cold, gleam
Like the icicles of winter
Your voice is a mournful dirge
And your smell is the stench of death
Who the devil invented
Such a cursed device?
It kills and maims like a traitor
And leaves men jobless
A tool born in the midst of war
To torture the limbs in winter
Created to the sound of gunfire.
Go away and play with the dirt
