I’ve been looking at Breton tunes a lot lately, trying to find one to fit into my upcoming set. So this is nice and timely to have suggested to me by YouTube. Granted I didn’t expect to hear an ancient Breton tune on a Chapman stick, but it works. It has an 8-bit quality to it, actually. It makes me nostalgic. ^^;
A friend of mine who is a hurdy gurdy player and knows much more about Breton music than I do has told me that there are a billion Breton tunes called “An Dro” which means basically ‘a dance’ and there was pretty much one for every village.

FR. LA CHANSON DES TAILLEURS. Trois tailleurs de Kervleidi sont venus coudre dans notre maison. / Ils n'étaient pas arrivés sur le seuil qu'ils demandèrent leur repas. / « Si vous voulez de la viande avec du pain, allez au grenier chasser les souris ! / - Que ferions-nous au grenier, alors qu'il n'y a pas de souris dans la maison ? / » Les souris et les rats sont partis, ils sont allés à la foire de Langonnet. / » Ils sont allés à la foire de Langonnet, si la foire est bonne, ils seront vendus. / » Si la foire est bonne, ils seront vendus, toutes leurs queues seront coupées. / » Si ça doit être coupé, ce sera coupé court, elles seront coupées et tout (de) leur derrière. »
EN. THE TAILORS' SONG. Three tailors from Kervleidi came to sew in our house. / They hadn't even reached the threshold when they asked for their meal. / "If you want meat with bread, go to the attic and chase away the mice! / - What would we do in the attic, when there are no mice in the house? / "The mice and rats have left, they have gone to the Langonnet fair. / "They have gone to the Langonnet fair, if the fair is good, they will be sold. / "If the fair is good, they will be sold, all their tails will be cut off. / "If it must be cut, it will be cut short, they will be cut off and all of their backsides."
