  • Met tud aman oa 'heseo Demokrasiezh, araog an dud 'barzh Bro-Gres
  • 'Wel barzh 'r'vro sen 'oa kentoc'h ur c'hlas o c'hoari 'n dra-se
  • Met tri mil bloaz 'zo dija, n'oa roue 'bet war hon douar
  • 'Merc'hed oa par d'ar baotred, hag an douar 'oa d'an oll
  • Daou mil a pemp kant bloaz 'zo, Kultur ar Gelted kozh oa o fewañ
  • War lod brasañ an Europa, lorc'h 'bet hon eus o lar an dra-se
  • Met rheid eo gout 'oa ar Romaned tud gouez'n o c'hichen
  • War 'n dachenn filozofel, arzhel a' sokiel.
  • Hag 'wid 'lodenn diouzh 'skiantoù ha diouzh an teknikoù
  • Skupet eo bet bed kozh ar Gelted ga' hin' ar Romaned
  • Kreñwoc'h oa he, ya'hat, 'wid rheñk ur stad a rhein un niverenn da bep den
  • 'Brezel etre ar Gelted hag ar Romaned
  • 'Zo bet ur brezel 'tre ar Stad o doue ha' gevredigezh tud
  • 'Tre 'r bed karrezeg ha kaled leun a karrezed vihan
  • Hag ur bed ronn ha dourel leun a droellennoù hunvre ha follentez
  • Kollet eo bet ar brezel-se, 'wid ar mare
  • Life was no paradise three thlousand years ago for the Celts of old
  • But before they spoke in Greece of democracy we had tried it out in practice,
  • Not just for those in the slave-owning class but for all men.
  • Three thousand years ago we bowed the knee to no king,
  • Women stood equal to their brothers and the land belonged to all.
  • Five hundred years went by, bloomed bright the free-sown flower of our culture
  • Across the boundaries of Europe, this no idle boast in our mouths :
  • When Romans ranged on the seven hills with packs of wolves
  • The Celts were known as philosophers, their arts and society
  • Blossomed around our ancient lore of science and craft.
  • Sweeping across the ancient Celtic world came the Romans,
  • Building their State on our bones, numbering each man as slaveowner or slave.
  • Not merely Roman and Celt were locked in struggle :
  • It was a battle of ideas between the supremacy of the State and the liberty of the individual,
  • On the one side a square cube of cube-shaped thoughts
  • Imprisoning a liquid world full of spiralling dreams and fantasy,
  • Which now has begun once more to break free.
