Paham mae dicter, O Myfanwy, Yn llenwi'th lygaid duon ddi? A'th ruddiau tirion, O Myfanwy Heb wrido wrth fy ngweled i? Pa le mae'r wen oedd ar dy wefus Fu'n cynnau 'nghariad ffyddlon ffol? Pa le mae sain dy eiriau melys Fu'n denu'n nghalon ar dy ôl? Pa beth a wneuthym, O Myfanwy I haeddu gwg dy ddwyrudd hardd? Ai chwarae oeddit, O Myfanwy  thanau euraidd serch dy fardd? Wyt eiddo im drwy gywir amod Ai gormod cadw'th air i mi? Ni cheisiaf fyth mo'th law, Myfanwy Heb gael dy galon gyda hi. Myfanwy boed yr holl o'th fywyd Dan heulwen disglair canol dydd A boed i rosyn gwridog ienctid I ddawnsio ganmlwydd ar dy rudd. Aug hofiar oll o'th add ewidion A wnest i rywun, 'ngeneth ddel A rho dy law, Myfanwy dirion, I ddim ond dweud y gair "Ffarwel".Richard Davies (Mynyddog) 1833-77 Tôn: Myfanwy ( Joseph Parry 1841–1903) |
Why does anger, O Myfanwy, Fill thy black eyes? And thy gentle cheeks, O Myfanwy, Not blushing on seeing me? Where is the smile that was on thy lip Which ignited my faithful fond love? Where is the sound of thy sweet words, Which attracted my heart after thee? What was it I did, O Myfanwy, To deserve the scowl of thy beautiful cheeks? Wast thou playing, O Myfanwy, At setting on fire thy poet's love? Thou belongst to me through a true contract Is it too much to keep thy word to me? I wish never thy hand, Myfanwy, Without having thy heart with it. Myfanwy, may the whole of thy life be Under the bright sunshine of midday. And may the ruddy roses of youth Dance for a hundred years on thy cheek. Forget all of thy promises Which thou madest to someone, my lovely lass, And give thy hand, tender Myfanwy, Only to say the word "Farewell".tr. Richard B Gillion |
Why is it anger, O Myfanwy, That fills your eyes so dark and clear? Your gentle cheeks, O sweet Myfanwy, Why blush they not when I draw near? Where is the smile that once most tender Kindled my love so fond, so true? Where is the sound of your sweet words, That drew my heart to follow you? What have I done, O my Myfanwy, To earn your frown? What is my blame? Was it just play, my sweet Myfanwy, To set your poet's love aflame? You truly once to me were promised, Is it too much to keep your part? I wish no more your hand, Myfanwy, If I no longer have your heart. Myfanwy, may you spend your lifetime Beneath the midday sunshine's glow, And on your cheeks O may the roses Dance for a hundred years or so. Forget now all the words of promise You made to one who loved you well, Give me your hand, my sweet Myfanwy, But one last time, to say "farewell".Words: ? Joseph Parry / ? Lynne Davies
