Malrieu : 1143 Ar c'hoant dimeziñ gant ur gakousez | YANNIG KONGAR FROM PLOUMILLIAU
Yannig Kongar from Ploumilliau,
The most handsome young man of the area (1)
Yannig Kongar, the most handsome of all men,
The love of all the maidens.
When Yannig Kongar was going to la Lieue de Grève
All the maidens would go out of their houses
And would tell one another,
"Here's Yannig Kongar passing by!"
Yannig Kongar told his mother,
"I want (to have) Marie Tilly.
It's Marie Tilly I find the prettiest,
She's the one I like the best,
She's the one I like the best
And I'll marry her if I can."
"Oh, my little one, listen to me,
Have no rush.
I've often heard it said
That Marie Tilly was treacherous!
I've also heard it said
That she likes to make fun of the boys.
For this reason, beware of her
In case she'd betray you."
"It's her I chose,
Her I must have for a wife" (lit.spouse)
She has many possessions, from what people tell,
They say she owns a farm,
They say she has much money.
She also owns, they say, an ironed cart
And four horse to draw it."
"Neither is wealth nor beautiful attire
Will make happiness in a house
But enough health to work
And (enough) feelings (love) to get along.
To get along together,
This is real life."
At the end, Yannig Kongar got married
But very soon, he's worried.
However well he could do,
Nobody talked to him.
However well he could work,
Nobody talked to him, nor gave him a good-willing look.
One day, Marie's mother told her (Marie)
"Yannig Kongar is nothing,
He's not worth more than a beggar.
If you'd wanted to wait a little more, she said,
You'd have found better than him"
"I'd have found one, she said, better than him,
But he didn't want me
And this is the reason why Yannig Kongar got me".
One day, they fought
And her mother told her,
"According to what he'll say,
It only to give him the Extreme Unction"
Yannig Kongar is leprous!
He didn't see anything (he wasn't aware) before he went to fetch water.
When he was going to fetch water,
He didn't think he was was ill
But when he saw his reflection in the water,
His heart was broken (lit. split)
When he saw that,
He went to his mother's house.
Then he told her,
"If I'd listened to you, mother,
I wouldn't have married Marie Tilly.
But I have nothing to reproach you
Since I chose her myself.
I thank you anyway,
For it wasn't you who recommended her to me.
But before my life is over (finishing my life)
Have a new house built for me.
Have now a new little house for me.
On the Ploumilliau crossroad,
From where I'll see Saint Kado's procession,
From where I'll see Saint Kado's procession
And sometimes Saint John's.
From where I'll see the beautiful golden cross
That I carried more than once. |
