A new song has been composed
About Marquis Pontkalleg
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!

He was a friend of the Bretons
He was a friend of the Bretons
but not of the bourgeois
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!

He wanted to unburden us
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!

Ha pa oa degoue't e Naoned
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!
Ha pa oa degoue't e Naoned
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!E oa barnet ha kondaonet
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit, mallozh dit
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!

Marv neb a gare e vro
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!
Marv neb a gare e vro
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!Hag her greas betek ar marv
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit, mallozh dit
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!

MARV PONTKALLEG
(Pontkalleg's Death)

This text came to us thanks to the collection made by Théodore Hersart de La Villemarqué, published in several editions since 1839 under the title “Barzhaz Breizh”.
Consisting of a set of songs in the Breton language, accompanied by their melodic lines, this book is a precious testimony to Brittany. It has also served as a source of inspiration for many Breton artists.
The song - gwerz meaning Lament - is presented here in a contemporary form in the version of Gilles Servat (1994). It tells us the story of the death (Breton “Marv” = pronounce Maro) of the Marquis de Pontkalleg, executed in 1720 after the failure of a conspiracy inspired by pre-revolutionary themes and independence of Brittany.
Part of his history can be found in Bertrand Tavernier's French movie "Que la fête commence (1975)".
Treitour ah! Mallozh dit refers to the betrayal that led the Marquis to the scaffold in Nantes (“Naoned” in Brittany).

Ur werzenn nevez zo savet

Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!War markiz Pontkalleg eo graet

Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!D'ar vourc'hizien ne laran ket
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit, mallozh dit
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!

Lakaet en devoa en e benn
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!
Lakaet en devoa en e benn
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!
Disammañ deomp-ni hor c'hordenn
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit, mallozh dit
Treitour, ah! Mallozh dit 'ta!

Translation :

When he arrived in Nantes
He was judged and sentenced to death
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!

He's dead the one who loved his country
Brave until death
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!
Traitor, be cursed, be cursed!
