Lyrics, approximate English translation by the original uploader, hagakure90: 1 Hervé SaintPatron of the Bards Gave me the inspiration He gave me the inspiration again To compose a song To compose a new song A Gwerz on famine On the large famine of Kiev, Ukraine That took away three million people That took away three million people By the order of one man 2 Woe, a thousand misfortunes, men in red Woe, woe, men in red in December When they came into the country To take away all our property To take away our animals and our wheat They left nothing at all And here we are in misery 3 If a traveler asks the way to Kiev Tell him so: Follow the ravens in the sky They will lead you readily Follow the wild dogs in the fields, They will get you there easily
