The Eyes of My Bonnie Mary - Tri Yann

From the Aven from the Belon and the Laïta

Aboard a fleet of sixty ships,

We came and took the Glenan Islands.

A thousand vessels, canons and barrels,

King George is Master of the Seas.

A million soldiers, horses and riffles,

Napoleon rules across of the Land.

The clear blue waters of Saint-Nicolas

Remind me of the eyes of my bonnie Mary.

War, honors, titles and glory?

But I’d rather be back in my home-country.

Defeat and victory both are imposters.

I’rather be with my bonnie Mary.
