Chwyrn Deithio

Ar redeg i'r bedd yr ydwyf - myned

Chwyrn Deithio
Ar redeg i'r bedd yr ydwyf, - myned
    Ym mhob man y byddwyf;
  Trwy 'mywyd, lle tramwywyf,
  Ni bydd ond y man ni bwyf.

Robert Williams (Robert ap Gwilym Ddu) 1766-1850

Swiftly Travelling
At a run to the grave I am, - going
    Wherever I be,
  Throughout my life, wherever I travers,
  There is but the one place I shall be.

tr. 2017 Richard B Gillion
