Air breton Adieu, patrie! L'onde est en furie. Adieu, patrie, Azur! Adieu, maison, treille au fruit mûr, Adieu, les fleurs d'or du vieux mur! Adieu, patrie! Ciel, forêt, prairie! Adieu, patrie, Azur! Adieu, patrie! L'onde est en furie. Adieu, patrie, Azur! Adieu, fiancée au front pur, Le ciel est noir, le vent est dur. Adieu, patrie! Lise, Anna, Marie! Adieu, patrie, Azur! Adieu, patrie! L'onde est en furie. Adieu, patrie, Azur! Notre oeil, que voile un deuil futur, Va du flot sombre au sort obscur! Adieu, patrie! Pour toi mon coeur prie. Adieu, patrie! Azur!
