#shamanstick is a land & street art project around “En Anv Doue ma Mamm” is which we combined most of our passions: music, visual arts, video making, road trip and Breton language. Full video will be out (very!) soon.

Upon an almost general request, here are the lyrics with an approximative translation in English – bellow the video, so that you can follow the lyrics – or download the PdF version here and follow it along!
Me am boa bet ul lez-vamm (ha) | he oa kriz ha kalet
Div teir eur a-roak an deiz | ganti me (a) vije savet
Da vont da gerc’hat dour da feuntenn ar Wazhaleg
I had a stepmother, she was harsh with me,
She would wake me up 2 or 3 hours before the sunrise
To get water from the fountain
Ar feuntenn a oa pell | an dour a oa strafuilhet
Gant mab un den jentil | oc’h abeuriñ e gezeg
Hag eñ a c’houl diganin « Plac’hig (ha) c’hwi zo dimezet »
The fountain was far away, the water was cloudy,
By a gentlemen’s son watering his horse
And he asked me “young girl are you married?”
Med me oa ken yaouank | a respontis ne oan ket
En o kregiñ en em dorn (e)vit ma c’has er valeneg
Eno a lakas ac’hanon da sellet ouzh ar stered
I was so young, I replyed I wasn’t,
He took me by the hand for a walk,
There he made me look at the stars,
Pa savis ac’hane ma dilhad a oa joget
Ma c’halon a lampe ha ma c’horf a oa brevet
Ha me a soñje neuze « Petra am eus amañ kollet ? »
When I got up from there, my clothes were wrinkled,
My heart was “loping” (like a horse!) and ma body was tired,
And I thought “ what did I lose there?”
Neuze deus e c’hodell e roas din pemp kant skoed :
« Kerzit d’ar gêr plac’hig lârit d’ho tud oc’h dimezet
D’ur c’havalier yaouank o tistreiñ deus an Naoned »
Her took from his pocket 500 “crowns”
“Go back home young girl, tell your parents you’re married
For the release of our album B, we have created some cool bundles…
They are 9 of these bundles specially made for Art and Astrakan lovers, each with a little original artwork created for the album booklet, which means, each of them is unique, and it’s of course a super limited edition that will each include:
The album of course!
A link to download the full album
One of the last copies available of or EP Torkad – Kofrig ar Sorserez… released in 2005! 100% acoustic, and it includes the very first version of “Sell ouzh ar Stered” (with different lyrics Adam hag Eva)
An original piece of artwork used to create the album booklet. Sizes differ a bit (and price also because it depends on the postage costs). They are all on very good quality watercolour paper and include various styles of mixed-media depending on each piece. (pleased note that it isn’t framed to keep the cost of postage reasonable)
Some personal notes regarding the song linked with the art-work and hand-written lyrics
