A reversion of a classic French ballad about the Breton soldier Pelot d'Hennebont following Tri Yann's version and taking it further!

lyrics

Ma chère maman je vous écris
Que nous sommes entrés dans Paris
Nous sommes déjà Caporal
Et serons bientôt Général

A la bataille, je combattions
Les ennemis de la nation
Et tous ceux qui se présentiont
A grand coups de sabre les émondions

Le roi Louis m'a appelé
C'est "sans quartier" qu'il m'a nommé
Sire "sans quartier", c'est point mon nom,
J'lui dit "j'm'appelle Pelot d'Hennebont"

Il a quéri un biau ruban
Et je ne sais quoi au bout d'argent
Il dit : " boute ça sus ton habit
Et combat toujours l'ennemi"

Faut qu'ce soit que'que chose de précieux
Pour que les autres m'appellent monsieur
Et boutent lou main à lou chapiau
Quand ils veulent conter au Pelot

(Instrumental break)

Ma mère si j'meurs en combattant
J'vous enverrais ce biau ruban
Et vous l'bouterez à votre fusiau
En souvenir du gars Pelot

Dites à mon père, à mon cousin
A mes amis que je vais bien
Je suis leur humble serviteur
Pelot qui vous embrasse de cœur
