Legacy

" Ael ar Marv a lavaras c'hoazh :

- Ho kariad a anaveze e donkadur ; ne harzas ket outan . Edo ouzh va gortoz pa ziskennis d'e gavout , un abardaevezh-hanv ... " ( The Angel of Darkness still said : - Your friend knew his Destiny ; he didn't rebel against it . He was waiting for me when I came down to find him , one summer evening ... )

( Prometheus Chained , 1928 ) . 

If it's time

For me to go ,

Sure

I won't miss

This world of sorrow !

Sell me a small part

Of our homeland

To put my grave 

At the very end ...

Write down my chosen name

Upon it only ,

Dates of my birth

Then death to be ,

Tell them he fought

For his own country ,

Say that he really wished us

At last

To be free !

Even if I make you despise me

With your rage ,

You won't read above

Your foreign language

Using these alien words

My family shared

In its slavery !

 But do have a look , passers-by :

" Karout a reas e Vro ! "

( He loved his Country ! )

 What will come next

I don't know ,

If there is no one more

To save our soul !

Met mar bez red ,

'Vel ma lare ar varzhed ,

E stourmimp

Kammed-ha-kammed 

Betek an trec'h !

Petra gwelloc'h ,

Dimp-ni ?

So , I won't talk to you too

Our foreign language anymore ,

Makin' you feel

Scornfully wilder ,

Hearing words

Of a lesser family

Struggling for

Its precious legacy !

You'll see my name

Proudly written

In front of a stele :

Here lies your enemy

Under a celtic cross ,

Free from his flesh

At last ,

And of a cruel destiny ...
