'Son Ar Chistr' - Breton Drinking Song

Son ar chistr ("The song of the cider" in the Breton language, "Ev Chistr ’ta Laou!" originally) is a traditional song of Brittany, whose words in Breton were written in 1929 by two Morbihan teenagers Jean Bernard and Jean-Marie Prima. The melody became known by the interpretation of the famous Breton singer Alan Stivell in the 1970s and in 1977 by the Dutch band, Bots under the name "Zeven dagen lang".

Holy heck - I’m part Breton and love this song and had no idea there was a Breton version.

At the time that song was first sung, britanny was one if not the poorest division of France. It was so culturally marked that parisian an other french newspaper wrote that britanny was a colony just like alsace. Even more than Guadeloupe.

C'est quoi cette carte, c'est l'Australie ? Hep Naoned Breizh ebet ! C'est pas moi qui le dit, c'est Alan Stivell .

You may not know, but the map you drew severely amputate my country, of one fifth in the south east, been taken apart from Brittany by french pro-nazi collaborators in 1941. Please be correct.

Bro the map's broken a fifth of the rannvro is missing 🤔

La carte n'est pas la carte de la BRETAGNE.
La Bretagne va de Ouessant à Clisson et à Ancenis, en passant par notre belle capitale historique, Nantes/ Naoned.
Cette carte est la carte d'une région purement administrative, artificielle, amputée du pays nantais.
C'est irrespectueux pour notre pays!

I’m Dutch, and knew the war song by bots. I knew the melody was a song from Breton. So today I decided to listen to that one. The lyrics are quite different. But I like this version now better. Don’t want to fight for 7 days anymore. So let’s drink cider.
(Unfortunately I became alcohol intolerant, so I’ll take apple juice instead)

La carte présentée n'est pas en rapport avec le drapeaux !

Fantastique chanson !
Que dure cette joie

the map you display on the cover of the video is not the actual Brittany, it's the administrative district, the french call "Bretagne". Our country is 1/5th larger.

Why is that represenntation of Brittany missing its capital county - Bro Naoned ?

Thank you for sharing a song from the Breton culture. However to put a truncated map of Brittany is clearly an insult to the Breton people, especially with the flag, one of which band is for Nantes.

[sethx]

Glad that the Bretons are keepimg their Celtic culture alive

[gabrielathero]

Beautiful!
This makes me sad, in a good way.

[krikrileelei]

Pelec'h emañ an Naoned ? Où est Nantes ?

[gillespornichet]

vous n'avez pas honte de mettre une carte de la Bretagne tronquée de la Loire Atlantique, Je doute qu'Alan vous cautionne.

lots of words similar to Welsh e.g. Merched - girls - that I recognise but hard to pick out much in Welsh.
