Hervé Saint-Patron 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
