There are only a few words in Breton, and, if I did not misunderstand,
they mean:
>"Général, ma Général d'ar ger,
General, my general of (my) home,
>D'ar ger ma Général,
>D'ar ger n'eo ket d'ar brezel,
(Let's go back) home my general,
(Going) home is not (going) to the war,
>Général, ma Général d'ar ger,
>D'ar ger ma Général,
>Ma Kaer de Marivault.
..."
General, my general of (my) home,
(Let's go back) home my general,
My dear 'de Marivault'.
