Tud yaouank a Vreizh-Izel, didostit da glevet
Un istor eus ma daeroù ha ma foanioù kalet
Me zo ur c'hloareg yaouank deus eskopti Kemper
O vont d'ober e studi da esktoù Treger
E bord ar mor on ganet, e bro Sant Gwennole
Ha biskoazh nemet glac'har am eus bet em buhez
Glac'har a wir garantez, setu ma flanedenn
Planedenn rust ha kalet da heuliañ penn-da-benn
O tostaat ouzh Landreger, me 'gavas ur plac'hig
Koant evel un ael Doue, he anv 'oa Metig
"Salud deoc'h ! plac'hig yaouank," a lavaris dezhi
"Eveldon oc'h ankeniet o kuitaat tud ho ti
Ho tornig flour em dornig lakit gant karantez
Evel-se vimp eürusoc'h o ouelañ asambles"
Jeunes gens de Basse-Bretagne, approchez pour entendre
Une histoire de mes larmes et de mes dures peines
Je suis un jeune séminariste de l'évêché de Quimper
Qui va faire ses études dans l'évêché du Trégor
Au bord de la mer, je suis né, au pays de Saint Guénolé
Et toujours, rien que de la douleur, j'ai eu dans ma vie
Douleur du vrai amour, voici mon destin
Destin dur et rude, à suivre d'un bout à l'autre.
En approchant de Tréguier, je trouvai une fille
Jolie comme un ange de Dieu, son nom était Metig
"Salut à vous, jeune fille" je lui dis
"Comme moi, vous êtes angoissée de quitter les gens de votre maison
Votre petite main douce dans ma main, vous mettez avec amour
Comme cela, nous serions plus heureux, à pleurer ensemble."
