Never
Will the clouds fade away
O'er the sky of your life
Jamais une nuit sans fantôme
Lit by the bloody knife
Sans le rouge au couteau
Never
Will the ghosts give way
Over your home, I swear
In this world or elsewhere !
Jamais que leur regard
Pitié tueurs, ou malheur,
Dans ce monde ou ailleurs,
Vous n'aurez ni repos ni bonheur,
De la honte connaitrez l'horreur !
Ennon e donder ma c'halon bout 'zo 'n dra 'gana 'n ton
'Vidon e donder ma c'halon bout 'zo un dra 'gana 'n ton
'vidomp e donder hor c'halon,
E vougomp bewezh ma o tont
Ar vezh 'arnomp da vout hanvet den,
Hanvet den
Pa vez 'n den alies gwasoc'h evit al loen
Ni Dieu,
Ni homme n'en donne le droit
Ni vous en rendra grâce
D'être pire que bestial
Mac'homerien tud sklav
Pitié,
Vendeur d'armes, voleur d'âmes,
Tueur au nom des lois,
Marc'hadourien armoù
Ou prétendu idéal !
Pe laeron eneoù
Let heaven curse you all
Hangmen and criminals
Killing by law or by so-called ideal
Your shame will be etemal !
Ennon e donder ma c'halon bout 'zo 'n dra 'gana 'n ton
'Vidon e donder ma c'halon bout 'zo un dra 'gana 'n ton
En moi au fond du coeur
Chante une triste mélodie
Pour nous au fond du coeur
Nous l'étouffons toutes les fois qu'elle revient
La honte de s'appeler humains
Quand l'homme est pire que la bête
