Suite sudarmoricaine / Breten Vyghan Soth

Orth pardon Spezed devedhys
 Mowes yowynk genev kevys

 ‘berth an park bras y feun koskys
 Brygh vras dogen genev kachys

Dhe’n klavji yth en danvonys
 War an voos vras yth en gorrys

Hag ow lost bras hi yw treghys
 Dre fenester o hi tewlys

Ki-bleydh pur vras yw tremenys
 Hag ow lost bras a veu dybrys

Hag ow lost bras a veu dybrys
 Hag an ki-bleydh y feu merwys

Yn sawsnek:

I went to the pardon at Spezed (a Breton type of pilgrimage)
 Where I met a young lady

we slept in a big field
 I caught the great pox

I went to the hospital
 They lay me on the big table

And they cut off my big "tail"
 Threw it through the window

A big wolf-dog rose up
 And it ate my big tail

And it ate my big tail
 And the wolf dog died.
