Tri Martolod — Three Sailors, A Thousand Lives
A traditional Breton song (traced back by some sources to the 18th century, by others to the 19th), Tri Martolod (“Three Sailors”) tells of young seafarers bound for Newfoundland, a romantic encounter, and the promise of return — all sung to the rhythm of a Breton dance tune. Its worldwide fame is largely due to Alan Stivell’s folk-rock arrangement in the early 1970s , which made it one of the anthems of the Celtic revival.
*************************************************************************
Tri Martolod (« Trois Marins »), une chanson traditionnelle bretonne (dont certaines sources font remonter l’origine au XVIIIe siècle, d’autres au XIXe), raconte l’histoire de jeunes marins en route pour Terre-Neuve, une rencontre amoureuse et la promesse d’un retour, le tout sur l’air d’une danse bretonne. Sa renommée mondiale est due en grande partie à l’arrangement folk-rock d’Alan Stivell au début des années 1970, qui en a fait l’un des hymnes du renouveau celtique.
