Eh les gars TOUS LES GAELS font fête
Tous les ans TOUS LES GAELS font ça
Et dans deux ans les menhirs seront pierre
Et dans deux ans le chouchen coulera
Et dans cinq ans Gaèlou Gaèlette
Et dans cinq ans le Tri-Yan viendra
Et dans dix ans nous dira la belette
Et dans dix ans le goupil viendra
Et dans cent ans Paimpolaises et Galettes
Et dans cent ans Gael dansera
The song "Tous les Gaels" by Chanson Plus Bifluorée is a celebration of Breton culture and tradition. The lyrics talk about various events and landmarks that are important to Breton people. The chorus declares that all the Bretons (les Gaels) come together to celebrate every year, and that in the future they will continue to do so.
The first verse talks about the menhirs, or standing stones, which are a common sight in Brittany. The lyrics suggest that in two years’ time, these ancient stones will still be there, and the Bretons will continue to celebrate around them. The second half of the verse mentions chouchen, a traditional Breton alcoholic drink made from honey, which will continue to flow at these celebrations.
The second verse mentions Gaèlou and Tri-Yan, which are both traditional Breton festivals. Gaèlou is a carnival that takes place in Guingamp, while Tri-Yan is a breton music festival. The lyrics predict that in five years’ time, these festivals will continue to bring together the Breton people to celebrate their culture. The final verse mentions animals – the belette (weasel) and goupil (fox) – which are important in Breton folklore. The lyrics suggest that in ten years, these animals will appear and continue to be part of Breton culture. The song ends with a declaration that even in one hundred years’ time, Breton people will still be dancing and celebrating together.
