English Translation
HUW PUW’S FLAT

There's a sound in Port Dinorwig, the sound of sails being raised:
All the blocks screeching, Dafydd Jones shouting:
I cannot stay at home for the life of me;
I must go to be a sailor true on Huw Puw's Flat.

Chorus
Huw Puw's Flat is sailing tonight, 
The sound of the anchor being raised; I will go to sea!
I will wear a cap with a shiny peak as long as I live,
If I can go to be a sailor true on Huw Puw's Flat.
In Ireland I will buy silk stockings,
Little dancing shoes, and those with silver buckles;
I would be a gentleman as long as I live
If I can go to be a ship's Captain on Huw Puw's Flat.

I would keep the Flat like the best parlour, 
There will be much scrubbing and scraping at the start of every morning;
The brass will shineon the steering wheel
When I become ship's Captain on Huw Puw's Flat.
