yn awr ac yn y man, every now and then,
Fel yna’n ddigon syml y daeth quite simply so the little Eden came to be;
yr Eden fach iw rhan. and somehow she was always lucky,
A rhywffordd byddai lwc bob tro I know not why,
ni wn i ddim paham but father swore that nothing planted
Ond taerai ’nhad na fethodd dim by mother ever failed.
a blannodd llaw fy mam.
Blodau syml pobl dlawd, The simple flowers of poor folk
yr oeddent bron pob un, they were, almost all,
A’r llysiau gwyrthiol berchid and the miracle herbs
am eu lles yn fw y na’u llun. valued for their benefit more than their beauty.
Dacw nhw y lili fach There they are, the little lily,
mint a theim a mwsg , mint and thyme and musk,
Y safri fach a’r lafant pêr the tiny savoury and lavender,
a llwyn o focs ynghwsg. and sleepy box bush,
Dwy neu dair briallen ffel two or three pretty primroses
a daffodil bid siwr, and a daffodil of course,
A’r cyfan yn y border bach everything in a little border
yng ngofal rhyw hen wr. cared for by some old man.
Dyna nhw’r gwerinaidd lu Here they are, the peasant crowd,
heb un yn gwadu’i ach with no-one denying his roots,
A gwelais wenyn gerddi’r Plas and I saw bees from the Palace gardens
ym mlodau’r border bach. in the little border’s flowers.
O bellter byd rwy’n dod o hyd From the end of the world I still come
i’w gweld dan haul a gwlith, to see them, in sun and de w,
A briw i’m bron fu cael pw y ddydd and it hurt my heart the other day
heb gennad yn eu plith. to see amongst them, unbidden,
Hen estron gwyllt o ddant y llew a wild foreign dandelion
a dirmyg lond ei wên, with his smile contemptuous and bold –
Sut gwyddai’r hen droseddwr hy, how did the impudent scoundrel know
fod mam yn mynd yn hen? my mother was getting old?

9 Dal Ein Tir Holding Our Ground
Mae gwyntoedd oer dros dir ein gwlad The winds are cold over our country’s land
A’u cân ddolefus brudd singing a sad lament.
A daw, daw newydd ddydd We must call everyone to battle
Rhaid galw pawb i faes y gad. and yes, a new day will come.
Daeth llanw’r môr i chwalu ein byd The incoming tide has wrecked our world,
Ton ar ôl ton i’r lan wave after wave on the shore.
Pob un gymuned ym mhob cwm Every community in every valley
Heddiw’n llesg a gwan today is weak and weary.
Rhaid ei hadfer yn ôl, a daliwn ein tir We must revive them, and hold our ground,
Fel un, mynnwn godi llais dros y gwir. as one, we must raise our voices for truth.
Rhaid yw cadw ein ffydd We must keep our faith
rhag crino’n y gwynt from withering in the wind.
Ein braint yw rhoi ein hiaith ar w aith, Our privilege is to put our language to w ork
Fel yn y dyddiau gynt as in days of old.
Rhaid dal yn dynn i’n gwerthoedd i gyd We must hang on tightly to all our v alues
