E-tal ar groaz
Dirak ar C'hrist maen en noazh,
Seizh arched saprenn
Zo tremenet er wenodenn.
Seizh arched saprenn
Bleniet gant an Ankou didruez,
Seizh arched saprenn nevez
0 deus kuitaet ar gêriadenn-mañ,
Dindan barradoù sklas ar goañv,
'Vit bered ar barrez.
Seizh maouez kozh, kabac'h ha dizant,
Er goañv-mañ a zo maro,
Ha torret eo bremañ ganto,
E seizh ti-plouz a Gêrnevez,
Ar walenn aour, gwalenn ar yezh,
Ar walenn aour a unane
Kalonoù nevez
Ar vugale
Ouzh Kalonoù ar re gozh.
Torret eo ar walenn aour,
Torret eo ar walenn,
Ar chadenn vurzhudus
A eree an amzer-vremañ
Ouzh pellder
An amzer dremenet.
Seizh maouez kozh a zo maro,
Seizh maouez a vire, ganto,
Soublet war flammoù uhel an oaled,
Spered,
Kened,
Ha yezh an Tadoù.
Seizh arched prenn,
Dirak ar C'hrist maen,
Ha ganto eo aet da hesk
Eienenn fresk

Ar ouenn.
E Kêrnevez,
War c'hlannoù glas al lenn,
A-hed ar bodoù kelvez,
Ne vo mui klevet bremañ

An Estren.
Evel-hen e kane Jakou Kerloaz,
Dirak ar C'hrist maen en noazh,
E-tal ar groaz.
Yann Sohier
Face,à la croix.
Devant le Christ de pierre nu
Sept cercueils de sapin
Sont passés dans le sentier,
Sept cercueils de sapin
Conduits par la Mort sans pitié
Sept cercueils de sapin neuf
Ont quitté ce village
Sous les averses glacées de l'hiver
Pour le cimetière de la paroisse
Sept vieilles femmes sans souffle et sans dent
Sont mortes cet hiver,
Et avec elles s'est brisé
Dans sept chaumières de Villeneuve
L'anneau d'or, l'anneau de la langue
L'anneau d'or qui unissait
Les coeurs neufs
Des enfants
Aux coeurs des anciens.
L'anneau d'or est brisé
L'anneau est brisé.
La chaîne merveilleuse
Qui liait notre temps
Au lointain passé.
Sept vieilles femnes, sont mortes
Sept vieilles femmes qui gardaient avec elles,
Courbées sur les flammes montant du foyer
L'esprit
La beauté
Et la langue des ancêtres.
Sept cercueils de pin
Devant le Christ de pierre
Et avec eux, s'est asséchée
La source fraîche
L'inspiration
De notre peuple
A Villeneuve
Sur les rives vertes du lac
Le long des buissons de noisetiers
On n'entendra maintenant plus Que la langue
De l'étranger
Ainsi chantait Jakou Kerloaz
Devant le Christ en pierre
Face à la croix
