by (Julien) Auguste Plage Brizeux (1803?6 - 1858)

Oui, nous sommes encor les hommes...
Language: French (Français) 
Oui, nous sommes encor les hommes d'Armorique,
La race courageuse et pourtant pacifique,
La race sur le dos portant de longs cheveux,
Que rien n'a pu dompter quand elle a dit: je veux.

Nous avons un coeur franc pour détester les traîtres;
Nous adorons Jésus, le Dieu de nos ancêtres.
Les chansons d'autrefois, toujours nous les chantons.
Non! non! non! nous ne sommes pas les derniers des Bretons.

Le vieux sang de tes fils coule encor dans nos veines,
O terre de granit, recouverte de chênes!
Pays des vieux Bretons, à toi seul notre amour!
Des bois sont au milieu, la mer est à l'entour.
