Naw Breton ba' prizon [French translation]

Naw Breton 'so ba' prizon c'hwec'h mis 'so tremenet

Ba'n toull-bac'h e rhoteant him boud bet ampronet

Nine Bretons were thrown in jail over half a year ago

For six months they wait for trial and the charge we do not know.

N'eo ket deit c'hoazh o frosez, netra wez kawet 'nemde'

Nemed un nebeud trakted, na pesa' skouer fall 'wez

Police found papers in their homes calling for liberation

It's not a crime to read and write but they are jailed for so long.

'Ane' traou 'el keotalded, breudeuriezh ha frankiz

Trawalc'h skriwo Brezhoneg, 'wid checho bras malis

They spoke of fraternity, equality and freedom

Such words become an insult if in the tongue of Bretons.

Ba'Paris memes a-gleiz a so 'bern traou all d'ober

Kudennoù so bet a-leiz, kaoc'h wez lar' d'ar Vretoned

The left in Paris cannot help and we must work on our own

No time for minorities who live so far from their home.

Ma ga'it ma c'hanaouenn him bleuniou barz-heg tener

Sonjet ba' re 'so ba'prizon, a so c'hortoz Newamser

Newamser ebed ba'Breizh gwelloc'h ba'bro ell' bet

'Raog 'ziwano sosialouriezh ha frankiz dre an holl bed

Spring won't be for Brittany or other countries even

Until we see the victory of liberty for all men.
