1. Ni, Breizhiz a galon, karomp hon gwir Vro!
Brudet eo an Arvor dre ar bed tro-do.
Dispont kreiz ar brezel, hon tadoù ken mad,
A skuillaz eviti o gwad.

CHORUS:
O Breizh, ma Bro, me 'gar ma Bro.
Tra ma vo mor 'vel mur 'n he zro.
Ra vezo digabestr ma Bro!

2. Breizh, douar ar Sent kozh, douar aar Varzhed,
N'eus bro all a garan kement 'barzh ar bed,
Peb menez, ped traoñienn, d'am c'halon zo kaer,
Enne kousk meur a Vreizhad taer!

3. Ar Vretoned zo tud kalet ha kreñv;
N'eus pobl ken kaloneg a zindan an neñv,
Gwerz trist, son dudius a ziwan eno,
O! pegen kaer ec'h out, ma Bro!

4. Mar d'eo bet trec'het Breizh er brezellioù braz,
He yezh a zo bepred ken beo ha bizkoazh,
He c'halon birvidik a lamm c'hoazh'n he c'hreiz,
Dihunet out bremañ, ma Breizh!

Brittany
"Bro Goz ma Zadoù"

Words by:Taldir Jaffrenou
Music by:adapted from James James
Adopted:1903

Brittany, a region of France, has a culture and language all its own (the
language is more Celtic than French). Like other Celtic regions of the area,
such as Cornwall, the anthem melody used is taken from the Welsh anthem,
composed by James James (with some minor note changes). The lyrics were written
in 1897 and the adaptation of the Welsh anthem was first published the
following year, with the appropriate title "Henvelidigez" ("Adaptation"). It
was adopted as the Breton national anthem (and a song of Welsh-Breton
friendship) in 1903 at a meeting of the Union Régionaliste Bretonne, a Breton
cultural and political organization.
