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. |
