Y Dref Wen yn y dyffryn
Heno heb arf nac offeryn
Ar wyneb y gwellt gwêl y gwaed
A drodd y pridd yn llaid
Cytgan
Ond awn I ail adfer bro
Awn I ail godi to
Ail oleuwn y tŷ
Pwy a saif gyda ni?
Ond pwy a saif?
Pwy a saif
Pwy a saif gyda ni?
Y Dref Wen chwâl ei meini
Heno’n brydd yn ei hoerni
Ddaith ‘na neb I holi pam
Mae marw yw’r fflam
Y Dref Wen wrth y coed
Hiraeth am gadw oed
Ciliodd pawb o’r hyfryd fro
‘Stafell Cynddylan sydd dan glo
the shining town in the valley / is tonight without weapon or instrument / on the surface of the grass see the blood / that turned the earth into mud
Chorus
But we shall go to restore the neighbourhood / we shall go to rebuild the roof / we shall put lights back in the house / who will stand with us?
The broken stones of the shining town / are sad tonight in the cold / nobody came to ask why it is / that the flame is dead
The shining town by the trees / longs to keep contact / but everyone has gone from this pleasant neighbourhood / Cynddylans Room is under lock and key

Wel dyma ni'n dwad
Gyfeillion diniwad
I ofyn am gennod i ganu
Os na chawn ni gennad
Rhowch wybod ar ganiad
Pa fodd mae'r 'madawiad, nos heno
'Does genni ddim cinio
Nac arian iw gwario
I wneud i chwi 'roeso, nos heno
Translation:
Here we come
Dear friends
To ask permission to sing
If we don't have permission
Let us know in song
How we should leave tonight
I have no dinner
Or money to spend
To give you welcome tonight

Bryd one brere, brid, brid one brere,
Kynd is come of love, love to crave
Blythful biryd, on me thu rewe
Or greyth, lef, greith thu me my grave.
Hic am so blithe, so bryhit, brid on brere,
Quan I se that hende in halle:
Yhe is whit of lime, loveli, trewe
Yhe is fayr and flur of alle.
Mikte ic hire at wille haven,
Stedefast of love, loveli, trewe,
Of mi sorwe yhe may me saven
Ioye and blisse were were me newe.
Translation
Bird on a briar, bird, bird on a briar
We are born of love, love to crave
Blissful bird, on me have pity
Or dig, love, dig thou for me my grave
I am so blithe, so bright, bird on briar
When I see that handmaid in the hall
She is pale of limb, lovely, true
She is fair and flower of all
Might I her at my will have
Steadfast of love, love so true
From my sorrow she may me save
Joy and bliss would wear me new (renew me).

And am I born to die?
To lay this body down
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
A land of deepest shade
Unpierced by human thought
The dreary regions of the dead
Where all things are forgot
Soon as from earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness of woe
Must then my portion be
Waked by the trumpet sound
I from my grave shall rise
And see the judge with glory crowned
And see the flaming skies

O Deathe Rock Me Asleepe
10:14

O deathe, o deathe rock me asleepe
Bring me to quiet rest
Let pass my wearye guiltless ghost
Out of my woefull breast
Toll on thy passing bell
Ring out thy dolefull knell
Let the sound my deathe tell
For I must die, there is no remedye
Die, for now I die, I die I die
