  • It's Breton, it's a language spoken in Brittany in west of France. I don't speak Breton even though I know a few words.

    For instance "Trugarez" means "thank you", "kenavo" is "Good bye"...

  • chanson exceptionel!!

  • @Pulpon1 Denez PRIGENT wrote a song after being invited to an Asian festival in Kazakhstan, that's a comic text about how he felt when he received the invitation in 1991 : what an irony for a Britain man to become a guest in Kazakhstan !

    He's the greatest Britain singer of today !

  • @k56bzh The Celtic culture is cherished by many.

  • @LEGOFFMARTINEAU Slan means good bye in Irish

  • Świetny kawałek.

  • This song deals with the fact that one time in 1991, Denez Prigent was invited for a concert in Alma-Ata, a city of Kazakhstan because this city was twinned with the city where he was living, Rennes (France). He found funny that a singer like him who sings in a celtic language had success in the Soviet Union.

  • Could you translate it into english please?

  • Furchet am eus war gartenn Breizh, war hini Bro C'hall ivez

    Sur a walc'h 'm eus komprenet fall, ar pezh p'oa skrivet din me

    Alma Ata, 'meus skrivet deoc'h, sellit war ur voul bremañ

    Abalamour 'mañ ar ger-se, en URSS, e Kazakstan

  • Pelec'h 'oa ar barrez-se, n'am boa tamm mennozh ebet

    Ha me da sell't ouzh ur gartenn evit bezañ skleraet

    Furchet 'm eus e Breizh-Izel, o ya un tammig partout

    Furchet 'm eus e Breizh-Uhel, hag adarre 'chomet boud

    Alma Ata ebet c'hoazh en tu all d'ar frontier

    Pellgomz 'ran diouzhtu d'an ti-ker 'doa kaset din al lizher

    Bonjour deoc'h, Sekretourez, bonjour deoc'h a laran

    Kontant da vont lec'h peus laret, met n'ouzon ket p'lec'h emañ

  • do you have the rest of the lyrics?

    thanks

  • Breton
