Ye banks and braes [Hirvoudoù] lyrics

Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,

How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?

How can ye chant, ye little birds?

And I sae weary, fu o' care ?

Thou'll break my heart, thou'll, warblin bird

That wantons thro' the flowering thorn.

Ye minds me o' departed joys,

Departed never to return.

Penaos oc'h c'hwi ken kaer gwisket,

Traonienn ha prad leun a vleunioù?

Penaos e kanit laboused

Tre m'emaon me o skuilh daerou ?

Ho kanaouennou dudius

Va c'halon baour din a ranno

N'ur gomz eus 'n amzer evurus

Ha na zeuio biken endro.

Oft hae I roved by bonnie Doon

To see the rose and woodbine twine

And ilka bird sang o' its love

And fondly sae did I o' mine

Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose

Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree

But my fause lover stole my rose

But ah! he left the thorn wi' me

(Da c'houlou deiz 'vel d'abardaez

Me garje mont war ribl ar ster

'N ur vouskanan va c'harantez

'Vel an eostig an alc'choueider)

Dindan ar gwez laouen bepred

E kutuilhen bleuniou dispar

Siwazh setu me dilezet

Ha rannet holl gant ar glac'har.
