Wardro tri-c'hant bloaz araog ar C'hrist

Darn vras hon tud kozh oa chom barzh'inis Breizh

'Lodennig all 'oa an Arvoriz

O chom dija 'barzh an Arvorig

Hanterkant bloaz araog ar C'hrist

Zo bet aloubet ga' 'r Romaned

An Arvoriz 'so bet tost romanizet

Inis Breizh-veur 'so bet levezonet

Levezonet kre?v eo bet ga'Roma

Met chomet keltieg peurvuia?

Warlec'h bet tamm pe damm romanizet

Ar Vritoned 'so bet kristianizet

Met an Ilis geltieg 'oa un tamm ispisial

Un tamm Drouiziezh a oa mesket e-barzh

In Britain in the year 300 BC

Lived most of the people of Breton ancestry.

But a small number had travelled far

Across the Channel to Armorica.

In the year 50 BC

Armorica became Roman territory.

A century later, Britain too

To Rome began to pay her due.

Armorica was under Roman sway

But the Britons kept more of their own way.

While Roman rule appeared to win

The Britons stayed Celts beneath the skin.

When Romanisation of Britain was done

The Christian missionaries followed on.

But the Celtic Christian Lore

Had links with the Druids who went before.
