Karl der Grosse,
Emperor of Germany,
With the church's help victorious.
Trouble after Carlus died
And so they asked a Breton prince to
Be their man in Brittany
And his name war Nominoe.
He took the job, he realised here
Was a chance to unify us
For if the Breton folk were one no
Other country could defy us.
He was true to the German king
But when good Ludwig died
He gave the land his loyalty.
"Brittany be free" he cried.
With an army came the Franks
To the village called Ballon
And he vanquished Karl der Kahle
By the time that day was done.
And with his son we made him the king
Of our first Breton kingdom.
The year eight hundred and forty-five
And Erispoë he followed after.
Sometimes Brittany war troubled
Still with Vikings from the North Sea
But when we could live in peace
We built a life the whole world envied.

United we were never conquered,
State and people spoke one language
And we ruled ourselves in concord.

And throughout the Middle Ages

Even the German hearts were softened
From their harsh rule over Europe.
Though they had a Holy Empire
The Celtic way was still enduring.
