Cariwyd y dydd! rhown gân a chainc I ymadawiad brenin Ffrainc. Ciliodd cyn dydd, a'i lengoedd gydag ef, Heddiw aeth o'r wlad ddewraf dan y nef. Dyfroedd o'i hamgylch a chreigiau sydd, Cartref y dewr, a chrud y rhydd, Prydain a fu, a Phrydain fydd! Druan o Gâl a theyrn ei thir, Dod mae gwrthryfel cyn bo hir; Byr fydd ei hynt, yn frenin ni pharhaiff, Fory daw yn ôl, lloches yma a gaiff. Dinas ei noddfa pan ddaw du ddydd, Cartref y dewr a chrud y rhydd; Prydain a fu, a Phrydain fydd.John Ceiriog Hughes (Ceiriog) 1832-87 Alaw

Carried was the day! Let us give a song and air To the departure of the king of France. He retreated before day, and his legions with him, Today he went from the bravest land under heaven. Waters around it and rocks which are, Home of the brave, and the cradle of the free, Britain that was and Britain to be. The wretch of Gaul and tyrant of her land, Rebellion is coming before long; Short will be his course, as king he shall not endure, Morning will come back, a refuge shall be found here. The citadel of its sanctuary when a black day comes, Home of the brave, and the cradle of the free, Britain that was and Britain to be.tr: 2008 Richard B Gillion |
Loudly proclaim o'er land and sea, This is the home of liberty. Tyrants beware! ye would but try in vain, Hallow'd rights to curb with your hated chain. Dearer than life is our love to be free, And we proclaim o'er land and sea. This is the home of liberty. Let it be known all round the earth, Here Freedom breathes and here had birth. We will obey if laws be only just, We will be true to the chiefs we can trust. Let them but learn that our watchword still shall be- Proudly proclaim'd o'er land and sea, 'This is the home of liberty!'Walter Maynard (Thomas Willert Beale)1828-94
