English Translation
Titrwm, tatrwm, Gwen, the colour of lambs, The colour of clover, I’m knocking, The wind is cold from the lake Awake, flower of the vale. Below the fire to light now It’s stormy tonight. If I go a long way fromm y country What will I do with my lassie Take her with me, Or leave her to pine; My heart flies from every place To the hills and valleys of Pentraeth Sometimes in London or Chester Working my best for her, Sometimes holding the maiden in a small room, And sometimes far from her I would be embracing the flower of the moon If I were close to her. |
