An Hini A Garan
Cécile Corbel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gwechall bihan er ger
Pa oamp tostig an eil
An eil ouzh egile
Va c'halon ne gare
Gare nemet unan
Pa oan bihan er ger
An hini a garan
An hini a garan
'M eus kollet da viken
'Man degouezhet pell
Ha ne zistroio ken
Ha setu ma kanan
Kanan keti ketan
Ha setu ma kanan
D'an hini a garan
An hini a garan
Un deiz 'n eus va losket
Aet eo d'ar broioů pell
D'ur vro n'an'vezan ket
Aet eo d'ar broioů pell
Da c'hounit e vara
Kollet kollet un deiz
An hini a garan
An Hini A Garan is a beautiful song by French singer Cécile Corbel. The song is in Breton, an indigenous language of Brittany, a region in France. It is a melancholic and heart-rending song that speaks about love and loss.
The song opens with 'An hini a garan', which means 'the one I love', and the next line talks about the singer being in close proximity to the one she loves. However, she fails to express her emotions, and her heart only loves one person among all. The chorus repeats the opening line and emphasizes the strong affection that the singer has for this person.
In the second verse, the singer reminisces about a past event where she lost her love. She reveals how she has not yet healed from her loss, and the person she lost is still dear to her heart. She sings of her pain, and how this person has faded from her life, but she can't forget the love she felt for them.
In the final verse, the singer talks about a day she was burnt in some way, presumably by love, and how she went far away from her home to a place she didn't belong. She ultimately lost the person she loves and in the end, laments the loss.
Overall, An Hini A Garan is a heart-wrenching song of love and loss.

An hini a garan, gwechall bihan er gêr
Pa oamp tostig an eil, an eil ouzh egile
Va c'halon ne gare, gare nemet unan
Pa oan bihan er gêr an hini a garan
An hini a garan, 'm eus kollet da viken
'Mañ degouezhet pell ha ne zistroio ken
Ha setu ma kanan, kanan keti ketañ
Ha setu ma kanan d'an hini a garan
An hini a garan, un deiz 'n eus va losket
Aet eo d'ar broioù pell, d'ur vro n'an'vezan ket
Aet eo d'ar broioù pell da c'hounit e vara
Kollet, kollet un deiz, an hini a garan

Traduction
Celui que j'aime, autrefois, petits à la maison,
quand nous étions tout près l'un de l'autre,
mon cœoeur n'en aimait qu'un ;
quand j'étais petite à la maison, celui que j'aime
Celui que j'aime, je l'ai perdu à jamais ;
il est parti au loin et ne reviendra pas ;
et voici que je chante à celui que j'aime
Celui que j'aime, un jour il m'a laissée ;
parti vers les pays lointains, des pays que je ne connais pas,
parti vers les pays lointains , pour gagner son pain.
Perdu, perdu un jour, celui que j'aime
