Summary:
À la foi de nos ancêtres, hommes de Bretagne, nous resterons toujours fidèles, préférant mourir que la renier. Tant que brilleront dans le ciel étoiles, lune et soleil, tant que la mer caressera nos rivages, tant que coulerons nos ruisseaux et chanteront les oiseaux, tant que bruyère et lande couvriront nos montagnes, nous serons inébranlables dans notre foi. Comme le chêne, nous résisterons sans craindre la mort. Adieu jeux et danses maudites, nous resterons groupés sous la bannière de Notre Sauveur.
