  Pob crythor ddihepgor ddyn
  Dilys a phob cerdd delyn;
  Pob trwmpls propr hirgorn copr cau,
  Pob sôn pobl, pob sŵn pibau;
  Pob hudol, anfoddol fydd,
  Llwm hadl, a phob llamhidydd;
  pob ffidler law draw y dring,
  Pob swtr tabwrdd, pob sawtring.

  Every crwth player – indispensable, faultless man –
  and every tune of the harp;
  every seemly trumpet with its long, hollow, copper horn,
  every chatter from people, every sound from pipes;
  every conjurer – unseemly he is –
  and every tumbler;
  every fiddler’s hand climbs up yonder,
  every adversary with a drum, every psaltery.

  Y llamhidydd llym hoywdeg,
  Yn llamu’n frau y tonnau teg,
  Llawen ydwyd lle nodir,
  Llon ym mrig ton ym mro tir;
  Ffrom olwg, ffriw ymyloer,
  A phryd arth yn y ffrwd oer.
  Twrch heli taer uchelwaith,
  Treigla’r môr, tro eglur maith;
  Drwy yr haf, pan dry yr hin,
  Doi i rocio ymlaen drycin.
