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.
