But the Franks were stronger still :

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.


We followed ancient Celtic customs,

United we were never conquered,

State and people spoke one language

And we ruled ourselves in concord.


With the Celts in other countries

We could see a common culture

And throughout the Middle Ages

Celtic influence was stronger.


Even the German hearts were softened

From their harsh rule over Europe.

Though they had a Holy Empire

The Celtic way was still enduring.
