Si n James - Marwnad yr Ehedydd (reprise) текст песни

MARWNAD YR EHEDYDD

Mi a glywais fod yr 'hedydd,
Wedi marw ar y mynydd;
Pe gwyddwn i mai gwir y geiriau,
Awn a gyrr ow?r ac arfau,
I gyrchu corff yr 'hedydd adre.

Mi a glywais fod cornchwiglan
Yn ei ddychryn i ffwrdd o'r siglan
Ac na chaiff, er dianc rhagddi,
Wedi rhusio o dan y drysni,
Ond aderyn y bwn i'w boeni.

Cans er dod ? byddin arfog
Ac ar codi braw ar yr hebog
Ac er grisial ac er blodau
Er yr holl tylwyth teg a'u doniau
Ni ddaw can yr 'hedydd adre.

ELEGY FOR THE LARK

I heard that the lark
had died on the mountain;
If I knew these words were true,
I would take a group of men and arms
to fetch the lark's body home.

I heard that a lapwing
frightens him away from the bog
And that, although he escapes
and hides away in a panic beneath the thicket,
it will only be for the bittern to worry him.

Because in spite of the armed men,
and although the hawk was frightened away,
In spite of the crystal and the blossom,
And all the magic of the fairies,
The lark's song will never come home.
