Characteristics of the song
Reference: M-02011Critical Breton title: Buhez ar mezvier
Critical French title: La vie de l’ivrogne
Critical English title: The life of the drunkard
Summary:
Lorsque le prêtre monte en chaire, l’ivrogne se hâte vers sa chopine, bonne ou mauvaise peu lui importe. Du dimanche au samedi, un lundi après l’autre, il a la chopine en main, la pipe vide à la bouche. Dans la cave il n’a pour lit qu’une couverture trempée de vinaigre qui suffit à étancher sa soif.
Themes: Literary songs without a known author ; In honour of ... or in invocation to a saint ; Prayers, entreaties, devotion
