about

Sample taken from "À la Séthée ès Chorchièrs" by Geraint Jennings.

lyrics

Weathered by poverty and cruel northern winds

Fill your bellies with golden sand



Isle of promises

bread, beer and coin

A purposeful, prosperous future



Aboard the Minot’s Light

40 poor women’s souls

Lit by candle, warmed by hope



By the Ecrehous

Out to the East

Under the gaze of St. Martîn



A splintered wreck

Despite bloody toil

Wrath on the rocks

Pierre Des Femmes



And those who could, they swam for their lives

And those who could not, in the cruel sea they died

"Eune niétchie d'zombinn'nie

Et par les nièrs c'mîns, l'ouéthou veindra té qu'si ses grîns adgûss'lés happ'thont pouor t'égdachi

R'touônner sus ses pas? Il est souotre té tréjous.
I' n'y'a d'aut' d'êcappe à ch't' êmânue, l'ouéthou'
