Ottomma kan Athelstan, Myghtern euthek Sowsnek

Here is Athelstan's song, an awful Saxon king

Ladra, ravna, ladha 'wrug, yth o glanheans ethnek

Steal, rape, kill he did, it was ethnic cleansing

Ch.

Athelstan n'th keryn mann,

Athelstan we don't like you at all

Athelstan, lagas tan

Athelstan, eye of fire

Athelstan ogh Athelstan

Athelstan oh Athelstan

Athelstan, klyw agan kan

Athelstan, hear our song

2.

Bosvenegh, tyller Kernow kres, ahanas bri a wra hi

Bodmin, a place in mid-Cornwall, of you makes fame

Sevel ymaj 'wra an dus, despit dha debel-istori

The people set up a statue, despite your evil history

Br.

Mes ny wruss'ta agan fedha, kynth en yn-dann gledha,

But you didn't beat us, though we were under sword

Na ny wruss'ta ladha'n taves vydholl

No you didn't beat the language at all

Hag y fydhyn omma hwath

And we will still be here

Ya y fydhyn hag y fydhav

Yeah we will and I will

Ya y hwren ni pesya dres dew-vil

Yeah we will continue through 2000

Imperialist of England, foreign imperiealist

Empouretheger furv a gows, glanheans war dha raglenn

Imperialist of a style of speech, cleansing on your programme
