(Em)A ei di’r ’deryn (Am)du
(Em)To my (Bm)dearest (D)love?
O cais fy nghangen (Em)gu,
For (Bm)I’m so deep in (Em)love.

Ni (Em)welaf y nun (Am)man
Such a (Em)damsel (Bm)in my (D)sight
Â’r ferch mor lân o (Em)liw-
She (Bm)is a beauty (Em)bright.

Mae’i (Em)gwallt yn felyn (Am)aur,
Just (Em)like a (Bm)ring of (D)gold,
A’i phryd fel eira (Em)gwyn-
The (Bm)truth it must be (Em)told.

English Translation
Blackbird, Will You Go

Blackbird, will you go
To my dearest love?
O find my dear one
For I’m so deep in love.

I cannot see anywhere
Such a damsel in my sight
As the maiden of fair colour
She is a beauty bright.

Her hair is yellow gold,
Just like a ring of gold,
And her skin like white snow-
The truth it must be told
