Gorsedd Lyrics

{Breton.}

GORSEDD
Argoad, an neved melkonius
Douar kozh hon tadoú-kozh
Strollad lid drouizel
Da lidañ hengoun hag aberzh

Galloud hud e tont eus ar lec'h
E sinont un emglev gant an elfennoú

Ez eont e-barzh kevrinoú an natur

Abraz hor c'halon
A-kreiz ar c'hrommlec'h
Evit daeañ stroll ar sav-heol

E damskeud kabalus ar flammerenn
Fenoz e red an dourvel da vat

E kuzh o c'hev strobinellet
Lid milvedel dasorc'het
Rik e sellet ouzh an tan
E tiskuliont hon tonkadur
Koazh hon anken an draskerezh an tan
Lidkinnig eskenn ha gwad
Ar garm-hud glan
Glanaat ar spered ouzh ar mallozh

{English.}

GORSEDD

Argoad, the melancholic sanctuary
The ancient ground of our ancestors
Druidic solemn gathering
To celebrate tradition and sacrifice

Magic power emanating from the place
Signing a covenant with the elements
Penetrating into the mysteries of nature

Fire up our heart
In the middle of the cromlech
To face hordes from the east

In the lively twilight of the torch
This evening hydromel will flow in the stream

In the secret of their enchanted cave
A thousand-years-old rite risen from the dead
Just by watching the fire's consuming flames
Revealing our fate

Consume our fear in the sputter of fire!
An offering of bone and blood
The crowned incantation
To cleanse the spirit against the curse
