English Lyrics Translation
I am thirty
And desire marriage with
A light-footed maiden
Like Gwenno Penygelli
She has grand clothes
And she is a proper maiden
Ten pounds in the bank
After her Auntie Gaynor.

I have a Jim Crow hat
Ready form y journey
And calfskin shoes
And a suit of homespun cloth
I have a full house
Ready to welcome her
And four piles of meat
And sheets on my bed.

I have a black sheep
That grazes n Snowdon
A duck, cat and dog
And a full coshed full of cattle:
I cand bundle and roof
And sing and hold the plough
And work after without fail
And cut a straight hedge

There was pease pudding
And that was half boiled
A cook with a cut finger
And the lost dishcloth
Black ram’s meat
Tough jointed
Strong turnip broth
And a huge apple pie
